Blooming Resilience

Artist

Alisa Blake

Description

Handcrafted on home-tanned smoked moose hide, Blooming Resilience is inspired by the wild roses that flourish across the northern landscape. Created using Charlotte cut beads, sheen beads, and gold findings, each bead is individually sewn by hand to form layered petals rich with texture and movement.

Grounded in traditional hide preparation and Indigenous artistry, this piece reflects resilience, beauty, and an enduring connection to the land.
