Navajo beadwork is rooted in Dineh spiritual practices. My artistic bead embroidery work began in my own spiritual upbringing. I create handmade Native objects with glass seed bead embroidery and leather with or without a predominance of beadwork. I incorporate a vast array of traditional European glass beads, processed animal hides, organic materials such as shells, various metals, and other numerous compatible materials, such as fabric. My techniques include various sewing and embroidery methods: lane, flat appliqu�, peyote gourd-netting, loom, hand fringing, rolled, edging, machine/hand sewing; along with combining colors from nature and ceremonial experiences. I use critical thinking skills and idea formulations for each specific article of work. My finished beaded item conveys a purpose, meaning, and hope thus bringing beauty and goodness into the world. These multiple facets together generate forms of brilliance so that Navajo Dineh beadwork will continue and be appreciated.
