My wife is Dene and has done traditional beadwork all her life, but recently has been trying different things, so I wanted to share some of her latest work. Everything shown here, including the gloves, has been made by her.
Traditional Dene beadwork has a lot of floral designs, similar to this:
For something a bit different, here's a paw pattern on these gloves
Earrings
Keyrings. The little mittens are my favourite
Hair thingies I don't know what else to call them. The knife is for scale
And some more
A variety of wristbands and earrings
