Hey #Yeg, it's the 50th anniversary of Prisoners Justice Day on Aug 10. Some friends and I are hosting a day of remembrance with beadwork, books, & oodles of important info about PJD, Harm Reduction, & more. A side note: my first act of resistance was a march on PJD in 1984 to the Edmonton Max.

Day 22 #artadventcalendar
This is the first style (not the first earrings) that I learned at 9-yrs-old. It's a tubular peyote stitch with porcupine quills.

I'm not sure if this is appropriate but I'm going to do it anyway. He was my greatest creation and I had to give him back to the stars 2 years ago today at the age of 31. I did take the first picture if that counts.

Day 14 #artadventcalendar
Made for an art installation by Dawn Marie Marchand during the Truth & Reconciliation Commission Edmonton gathering. It was shortly after my granddaughter was born in 2014 and done for all those IRS babies who didn't get to grow up with their kokum's love and attention

Once in a while, I attempt pencil drawings. I'm particularly proud of this one. It's a representation of my doctoral work (hope you can see it clearly!)

Guess I'll join in with #artadventcalendar
January 16, 2025 will mark 20 years since I had a ruptured brain aneurysm. I like to bead brains sometimes.

The weight of your absence is crushing me daily
This is my son Lakotah who died at 31 years from a toxic drug supply almost 2 years ago
Welcome to my grief world friends

I've seen so much beautiful artwork being shared here. Makes my heart happy. I haven't beaded in awhile, but I'm hoping to pick it up again soon. I usually make jewelry. This is a piece I did from a drawing of a butterfly that my granddaughter did a few years ago.
