This photo is of one of a pair of moccasins I recently made for one of the gals at Powwows.com. She had asked for the fringe bootie style and wanted a custom rosette for the toe. Took us a while to come up with this design but it came out nicely!

While we are at it, I have included my moccasins. They are pretty beat looking now, but I have been wearing them for three years , indoors and out. Outside just isn't a very nice place to wear such light colored Moccasins ha ha!! They are made in two pieces, with the main body being all once piece, center seam and the second piece being the vamp on the toe. The top of the vamp is edge beaded with fresh water pearls.

Ok one more moccasin I have made for one of my friends up here that is an Otoe Southern straight dancer. This is a size 13 hardsole moccasin and the rose pattern is my own. He also wanted the four graduating rosettes to go with the moccasins but will be putting them on his otter turban. I drew the roses myself and this is my personal pattern.

This is a picture of my tiara and one of my cuffs for my clothes. Edge beaded with fresh water pearls and using my personal rose pattern. They are both beaded on an ivory velveteen.

Here is a shirt I made for a good friend of mine. He has done so many things for me including updating my webpage that I just had to thank him in the only way I know how. Thank you Craig

Last but not least are the necklaces I made for my daughter and myself. We are both bear clan. The Eyes and the fringe both have fresh water pearls. My daughter used to have a matching outfit such as mine, but has outgrown it. I will be making her a new one to match however since all her accessories still fit.
