Have been using the Métis technique — haphazard as my approach is — to create beaded appliqués for the door, which is the foundation of my Providence piece (Take My Tears series).

A little rough around the edges, but my first trial is done.

In the Métis tradition, this beadwork is to be gifted to another woman. After finishing off the back with deerskin and adding a clasp, the beaded brooch was passed onto the mother of a close friend. A woman of the prairies, she said it reminded her of home.

The Textile Museum of Canada's workshop supported the Walking with Our Sisters installation at the Aboriginal Education Centre. The work consists of over 1,900 beaded moccasin vamps, representing the unfinished lives of the 1,181 plus missing/murdered indigenous women.
