FIRSTPERSON: Tenille Campbell says she never saw beadwork becoming a part of how she expressed herself, but she has now embraced the practice.
I have soft images in my head about what I want to create — textured images filled with beadwork, embroidery and moose hair tufting. I want to create beadwork that invite touch and that carry stories in the lay of the land. But my dreams are far more intricate than my current talent level.
So while I was an avid admirer and buyer of Indigenous arts, I never wanted to wear the ribbon skirt, braid my hair and sit down with beads in hand. One doesn't have to be super native to want to work with culture. One doesn't have to be super traditionalist to work with medicine. One doesn't have to be super spiritual to talk with the Creator.
