Voices, Visions & Handcrafted Silver
May at Pieced by Lane
May was full of movement, connection, and a little change of pace. We kicked off the month attending the Shiprock Half Marathon and celebrating graduates at a reception, then headed to Flagstaff, Arizona for the Mother's Day and Graduation Day Craft Show. These events gave us the opportunity to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and create a few more meaningful connections along the way. Having family together for Mother's Day made the month even more special.
As the month continued, school let out and our schedules shifted with the start of summer break. It has been an interesting transition—from busy days creating jewelry and preparing for events to slowing down a bit and spending more time outdoors with the kids. Whether it's creating at the bench or making memories in the dirt, we're embracing this season and all that comes with it.
This Month on the Podcast
This month, we had the opportunity to sit down with the founder and owner of Strong Warriors, Toqua-Hanai Ticeahkie. Our conversation explored his journey, the purpose behind his work, and how he found his voice in the world. His passion for uplifting others and sharing positive energy was inspiring, and it made for a meaningful discussion that we're excited to share with you.
We've also included a few featured jewelry pieces below that capture what we've been creating this month. We hope you enjoy taking a look and following along on the journey.
Listen to the latest episode and explore this month's featured creations—we hope something speaks to you.
Toqua-Hanai Ticeahkie
This month on the Pieced by Lane Podcast, I had the opportunity to sit down with Toqua-Hanai Ticeahkie, Owner and Founder of Strong Warriors, for a special two-part conversation.
Together, we discussed leadership, resilience, community, and the journey of building something rooted in purpose. Toqua shared insights from his personal experiences, the vision behind Strong Warriors, and the importance of continuing to show up for others through both challenges and successes.
It was an inspiring conversation about strength, growth, and the impact one person can have when they lead with intention and heart.
Both episodes are now available on Apple, Spotify, and Amazon Podcasts.
In the Studio for May
This month's In the Studio episode focuses on growth and the work that happens behind the scenes. From refining designs on the bench to reflecting on the importance of consistency, I share what May has looked like in the studio and how progress is often built through small, steady steps. It's a conversation about creating, learning, and continuing to show up for the work each day.
New Creations from the Studio
These pieces are available now and will be added to the shop soon if they’re still available.
