Hand Embroidered Metis Flower Shirt

Hand embroidered t-shirt inspired by Métis beadwork. Métis are know as the Flower Beading People because of the predominance of flowers within the designs. My hope is to be able to take a bradwork class soon, and learn from other Métis beaders to learn more about beadwork. This design is of the primrose, with each stage included on the left sleeve.

"We are resilient as a weed and beautiful as a wildflower. We have much to celebrate and be proud of."
