Little Girl's Jingle Dress & Moccasins

I love the way this outfit turned out!  The colors are so striking and they give it a very traditional look!
 The Medicine Wheel is an important part of Plains Indian Culture.  I think it accents the outfit beautifully!
 This outfit is a size 2T.  It comes with matching elastic leggings and coordinating handkerchief.  
 Matching moccasins can be added to your order!

Busy Busy...

I've been busy working on these little girls moccasins.  They are fully beaded and are made to match her cute little pink Jingle dress.  I love this design.  It looks like a star quilt block.  Very striking.  The purple and pink are as girly as can be.  So cute!
Here are the leggings to match.  I appliquéd the design together with satin fabrics and sewed them to a lavender cotton.  They zip up in the front.  Love the colors together and how they coordinate with the itty bitty moccasins!
  One last shot of the moccasins.

Beaded Baby Moccasins

Baby boy fully-beaded moccasins.  Size 3-ish.  Shoshone design with custom colors.  Sewn onto white deer hide.  I made these purposely big, but included a "cinch-tie" around the ankle to ensure that they fit the little guy's feet;0)  Now he can wear them a while longer.

Newborn sized partially beaded baby moccasins on white deer hide.  Cute for a baby boy or a girl!

Little Girl's Jingle Dress

Here's a Girl's Jingle Dress I just finished for a little girl.  It is a size 5T.  It comes with matching handkerchief and leggings.  I have made this purple butterfly dress a few times now, but this time I wanted to change it up with the butterfly band on the waist and the butterfly sleeves.  It coordinated really well; I especially love how the turquoise breaks up the patterns.  Here's a closeup:

A Mini & 2 Baby-size moccasins...

I got to create these special moccasins for a customer in Canada. Here is the complete order:

Miniature fully beaded moccasins, and two fully beaded baby moccasins in sizes 5 & 5.5
I incorporated a Shoshone design on all three. I love the gradient of colors and how it contrasts against the background. Here are the miniature moccasins:
These colors are a bit more traditional:
I love the sparkle of the dark blue.
Perfect for that handsome little Native boy!

Newborn Moccasins

Sometimes I get asked to make duplicates of moccasins I've made and sold. Here's some I recently finished for a Newborn. The toe is partially beaded. The border goes completely around the moccasin and the design comes from the Shoshone Bannock Tribe. These were sewn on white deer hide.

Butterfly Jingle Dress & Accessories

Here is a Jingle Dress-Outfit that I recently finished for a good friend of mine from back home. I made this same dress a while back, but have made a few improvements. I coordinated the beadwork and incorporated a butterfly to match the dress.
I love the sound these jingles make! I think every little girl needs a jingle dress!
This is the entire outfit: Dress, Matching handkerchief, elastic leggings, beaded butterfly barrettes and fully beaded moccasins.
I incorporated a Crow Style for the beaded butterflies...
Love how everything coordinates together! This turned out to be a really cute outfit.

A request for Sponge Bob...

Just about any type of design is bead-able! This is a Sponge Bob Pendant I recently made for a customer whose daughter loves Sponge Bob. I used a pink background to make it more feminine. I think it turned out really fun! The necklace is connected to the pendant and I used Hair-bone as well as seed beads to incorporate a Native design into this modern piece. Message me if you have questions about a Custom Order like this one;0)

Custom Colors...

Here's a barrette I recently sold...as you can see it's basically the same as the other pink barrette I have listed, but with this one, the customer requested I swap out the yellow and orange for shades of purple. So if you see something you like, but would prefer it in a different color...just let me know!
