Bead and Crow
hello! I'm a mixed Maya and Creole beadwork artist who enjoys making wearable art. give me a like to keep up with what I create!
commissions are currently closed, but I will post things I've made that are available here.
I'm currently locked out of my bead account on insta which is causing major major panic as that's where I do most my business and have customers waiting on updates.
I really really dislike how hard social media has been for small artists. 😑
A pair from my most recent sale made it's way to it's home! :)
✨PRICE DROPS✨
Please read VERY carefully:
In order to raise quick funds for a move from Florida to TN (a nine hour trip) with an 18 month old, 2cats, and a rat, I've dropped prices.
These will *NOT* be shipped out until Friday of next week (Friday the 13th lol) I am in the middle of an emergency move and will not have the time to make it across town to the post. I will ship out when I make it to my new home.
Prices are listed on the pictures.
Shipping to US +$6 , CAD +15
Message me to purchase, as it'll be easier for me than watching for comments. ♥️
My insta sale is live! You can find details under the first 3 listings on my page :)

Working on stuff for Howards Flea Market :) I likely 2ont be reopening customs a bit longer so I can focus more on local markets during tax season!
Slowly but surely I have caught up on moon orders. Almost all have been sent and the two that haven't yet have been contacted. Now to trades and then I think I'm taking a break from commissions, and will do them on a case by case basis. I'm going to focus on creating collections for now!
✨Instagram Give Away✨
(Link for insta in comments)
A little bit ago I reached 500 followers! So I decided since I'm still at a stand still with orders waiting on beads I'd do a giveaway! It's so hard to get a good picture of these because they are so long lol.
I'm giving away these statement two tier shoulder dusters made with rabbit fur, agates, quartz and glass accents.
This giveaway is open to residents in CAD, USA, and MX (however if you are in CAD or MX, shipping time may vary as it costs a bit extra and well im poor lol. Open to AUS if resident covers shipping)
Giveaway closes the 7th and I'll be drawing on the 8th.
Good luck and Tlazocamati for an amazing last few months ♥️
*Giveaway is not associated with Instagram, or any other entity, any post that isn't from this account is a scam
A Christmas present set for my kiddos step momma. She's a big plant lover ♥️
My beads were supposed to come in today but have not. If they do not soon I will be swallowing the lost money and ordering another shipment of beads this time from someone in country. I have like 5 orders I'm literally at a stand still with until I get the beads I need.
Almost done with the second one in this set and wanted to share with y'all what the blood moons looked like since they sold before I could even finalize the design 💕
Update for my moon orders:
I'm still awaiting some beads for both purple and blue moon orders. Red moon order will be finished by next week. I appreciate all my customers patience and understanding with holiday shipping times and my complete lapse in memory concerning that when originally giving completion dates.
Tlazohcamati huel miac!
(Thank you very much!)

At a stand still with the other moons while I wait for beads and started some mossy moons.
Here's my progress!
Sneak peak of a set of moons I've been thinking of for the last few days. I'm working on these while I'm at a standstill waiting on beads for the other moons.
Mossy Moons are on the plate rn. I'm doing colonial knots for the moss!
These will be available for purchase when done, for those that missed their chance for moons. Feel free to claim now.
I have been asked this a couple times on my insta dms so I figured I'd make a post here too,
❓am I allowed to wear indigenous made beaded jewelry? ❓
Answer:
Generally speaking, yes. As long as it isn't regalia (and you'll know if it is because the owner definitely won't be letting you touch it), go for it. Purchase from indigenous beaders is the general rule.
Beading in general is found all over the world, plenty of cultures have beaded works. Russian beaded jewelry is like. Fu***ng amazing. The detail is 🤌🤌🤌 but when it comes to Indigenous designs and what not, avoid *Native inspired boho* s**t. Those designs and aesthetic usually mimic native designs to begin with, and there's very likely something similar to whatever you want thats better quality *and* handmade.
