ts’e’luwi’ - shell HCIndigenuity.com These will be posted at 6pm on Friday October 2nd... This style, and these shells, have been a staple of mine for some time now. The non-uniformity of the strands, and the tighter weave give this a sort of neat untidiness that I’m quite fond of. . . . . . #Nanaimo #fiberart #jewelrymaker #ShopYYJ #instajewelry #VancouverIsland #PNW #statementearrings #YYJBusiness #Indigenousart #Cedar #weaver #handweaversofinstagram #Weaving #handcrafted #oneofakindjewelry #textiles #VanIsle #YYJ #CedarBarkWeaving

xwiinlhp wild rose HCIndigenuity.com These will be posted at 6 pm on Friday October 2nd... They’re believed to be good luck. Water with soaking wild rose petals was used to bathe in, fishing nets were dipped in it, and even drank as a tea. The rose hips were sometimes used as beads. You’ll find them in the parts of the woods where the soil is wet, the air is fresh, and the soil is healthy. . . . . . #Indigenous #ArtisMedicine #weaver #Esquimalt #Firstnations #supportthemakers #craftsmanship #PNW #VictoriaBCArtist #Landback #SalishArt #jewelrydesign #handmade #Native #oneofakindjewelry #instajewelry #weaversofinstagram #jewelryart #VancouverIslandArtist #ShopLocalYYJ

sp’e’luq’um flowers (but little) HCIndigenuity.com These will be available at 6pm on October 2nd... You might think of them as the sp’e’luq’um from kwit-xulhp (Pacific dogwood) and flowering xwiinlhp or qel’qulhp (wild roses). No matter what you consider them, the contrast between the flowers, the black background, and the Cedar is immaculate and an eye-catcher for sure! . . . . . #VancouverIsland #CedarWeaving #handmade #instafashion #Landback #YYJ #SupportIndigenous #Firstnationsart #smallbusiness #jewelrymaker #CedarBarkWeaving #Contemporaryart #VancouverIslandArtist #SalishArt #handwoven #WestCoastArt #woven #jewelrydesigner #YYJArt #Indigenous

tumulhupsum pileated woodpecker HCIndigenuity.com These earrings will be available at 6pm on Friday October 2nd... Walking in the woods you hear the rustling of the leaves, the trees rubbing and creaking, a nearby pond trickling, and the relentless dull thud of a woodpecker looking for food. You look up, and through the sea of greens and if it’s the fall, maybe a smattering of orange-yellow ombre, but through it all you see that brilliant red. You hear the call, and it’s strange... it’s almost monkey-like, but it’s beautiful, haunting even. . . . . . #Jewelrygram #ArtisMedicine #Cedar #ShopLocal #handmadewithlove #VancouverIslandArtist #CedarBarkWeaving #fiberartist #oneofakindjewelry #CedarBark #instajewelry #handweaversofinstagram #CedarWeaving #Weaving #naturalfiber #jewelrymaking #statementearrings #handcrafted #textileart #PNW
