I made this beadwork for my first cradleboard. It was the largest piece I ever made at the time at ten inches in diameter. I have since made four more the same size. There are eight Turtles.

Then I beaded the largest turtle before filling in the purple flowers.
I am an enrolled member of "the" Oneida Nation and a descendent of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe. My mother taught me how to bead on a loom at the age of five.

I eventually taught myself the appliqué style of beading. I take thousands of tiny glass beads and sew them onto a variety of materials to make a statement not only as art but to preserve the history and culture of my ancestors.
