Medicine Bags

These bags are made out of moose hide, beaded my traditional Upper Tanana Athabascan style, some with modern peyote beading and the necklace has dentalium shells. The dentalium shells were very prized shells in the old days. Long ago the Upper Tanana Athabascan's had to travel by foot to the Tlinget territory (South East Alaska) to trade for these shells; therefore the Chief was the only one that can wear the shell/shells on the jackets or necklaces

The bags sell for $85.00 each.

These Forget Me Not flower key chain are done by Shirley for Holland America Lines. N. Walsh emailed me asking me if I would like to do a project for the HAL. They wanted a 2 x 2 beaded item. I came up with the idea of using the state flower as the design. The project is due in Seattle May 1st. They will be used on an informational poster on the bus lines that go through out Alaska. With the key chain will be information about my cultural history, my background and why I chose forget me not flower design.
I want to thank N. Walsh for choosing me as the artist and much thanks to Eleanor David who helped me with the beading. We needed to make 29 of these!
