I'd like to take you on a brief tour of beautiful beadwork by Northeastern American and Canadian Indians. While not exactly jewelry-related, it certainly is all about beads! Beaded Bags, Wabanaki type, vase or inverted keyhole shape. Glass beads, black velvet fabric, various materials used for the edge binding. The bag in the center is 6.2 inches high by 5.2 inches wide. From Historic Iroquois and Wabanaki Beadwork, by Gerry Biron. Prior to European settlers arriving to this continent, decorative work was primarily created with porcupine quills, feathers, birchbark, shells, stones, paint, hide, and sinew, to name a few materials. Later, Europeans introduced glass beads, which came to be a highly valued and integral part in subsequent decoration in the Americas. In the Northeast, we find a large variety of floral and woodland-inspired patterns, and a common motif, the "Double Curve". I will start with a few examples of quill work from the 18th and 19th centuries. Due to the nature of the material, though still highly detailed and intricate, the style of the work tended to be rather geometric, even in the depiction of floral motifs.

I got bored at work so I folded a bunch of my manager's business cards to make this design that is supposed to resemble a cloud
I am a paper artist who loves paper (of course), the written word and meandering outdoors. I passionately doodle on any surface and weave threads. I love the versatility and form that paper has to offer. Being self-taught, I combine my pieces with quilling, kirigami, and modular origami. I cut and fold the paper in my own way into the artwork with certain themes that are close to me.
