I absolutely love this! The gorgeous Ashley rockin' her custom set made by Shinli' Niintaih 😍 I enjoyed making this as a special request and always thrilled when I see my creations out there. Hài Choo Ashley for the support and for sharing this amazing photo 💕 ✨At the moment I am not taking further custom requests.. until a later date. I am focusing on building inventory on a variety of other handmade items and preparing for local markets coming up in yeg. 🙌✨ #shinliniintaih #teetłit #Gwichin #Dentalium #Atthan #sterlingsilver #indigenous #handmade #dinvi #Silverberry

Enjoyed my day checking out my favorite Dinvi' picking spots around Edmonton. Beautiful crisp day. I waited until after our first frost to check out the berries. In the past few years learning to work with them, it was brought to my attention that the plant and berries do become infected with a certain type of fungus. This affects the bead and is prone to breakage while stringing. So I've been more observant and 'doing' things by trial & error. It was good to be about. I am always happy to spend time picking the berries of my favorite plant. #ShinliNiintaih #teetłit #Gwichin #Dinvi #Indigenous #Reclaim #Silverberry #wolfwillow #buffalobead

Playing with beads and new earring designs. Vintage Red White Hearts are my all time favorite 💕 #shinliniintaih #whiteheartbeads #vintagebeads #dinvi #sterlingsilver

Sharing photos of a custom jewelry set made the past few weeks as a special request for an amazing Mètis scholar. Elements of Moose horn from the Yukon, A'tthan' (Dentalium), Vintage Trade Beads, Dinvi' (Silverberry), tanned Moosehide and Sterling Silver chain and components. I took into consideration on certain colors of beads and the shape of shells. I was truly honored to make this and it had received much compliments 💕 #shinliniintaih #teetłit #Gwichin #indigenousadornment #Handmade #Vintagebeads #Dentalium #Dinvi #Atthan #moose #dinjik

The beautiful Kisha wearing her #shinliniintaih Dentalium tier trade bead earrings with Abalone Shell. I love seeing where my creations go. Grateful for the support. Hài Choo for sharing such a gorgeous photo! ✨💕🌼 #teetłit #gwichin #atthan #Dentalium #indigenous #handmade #indigenousadornment

Playing with new earring designs ✨ I love working with trade beads and finding ways to blend them with A'tthan' shells. These vintage red white hearts have such a deep color to them. Just like cranberries in the fall, ready to be picked. #shinliniintaih #teetłit #gwichin #tradebeads #redwhitehearts #dinjikaddhoh #sterlingsilver #indigenousadornment #indigenous #handmade
