Aho fellow travelers. Years ago I use to bead a spider mother on a bracelet. The spider mother is very important to our culture and deserves to be honored, the same as everything else in our universe. I was inspired to change the design a bit and place her on a hat band as well as a bracelet.
Next time I will tell you about what the spider mother means to us. I have to finish another hat band that has our spider mother right on the front wearing her medicine colors.
Great blog post, Blackbird. I would be happy to share my Christmas spider video if i knew how to here. Maybe I can send you the video and you could upload it.
I always think your bead-work is so wonderfully detailed, and the message behind them something inspiring.
