Artist Statement: Making this project reminded me of when I was younger and living in the village. Making the bracelet was fun. I enjoy sewing and beading so it all worked out. The medium is seal fur, beads, and string. I used black and white beads because those colors fit in with the seal’s fur color. I hope people notice how much value one item can contain. I worked within my teacher’s classroom under the guidance of guest Tlingit artist Shaaxsaani.
