🌿 Dene Floral Bolo Tie 🌿
This bolo tie holds a special connection to my roots. The floral design is inspired by traditional Dene beadwork patterns that have been passed down through generations of my ancestors. Growing up in Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories, I was surrounded by these beautiful floral teachings, and creating pieces like this is one way I stay connected to my culture and honour those who came before me.
For me, beadwork is more than art—it is storytelling, remembrance, and a way of carrying my Dene heritage forward with every piece I create.
