Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Malachi Tsoodle-Nelson

The materials I use are leather, brass, copper, steel, and beads. I use antique spoons and reclaimed leather and steel. I make bow guards, rings, bags, chokers, belts and beaded bracelets. Some of my art pieces feature semi- precious stones inlayed. I either hand/machine sew, or use lacing make from buckskin or vegan sinew.
