Nisnipawset Beadwork

Nisnipawset Beadwork

I'm an artisan from the Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk nation (Maliseet of the St Lawrence river). I started my little business in 2016. Please feel free to visit.

If you are a beadwork artist, please be careful. I went on the Temu app after seeing a couple of artists saying their work is being copied. Temu is full of stolen designs.

THIS HAS TO STOP!!!

Back in the workshop and trying to get better organized in my piles of bead on my desk. Got an extra light over my wall panels to see my colours better. I can't wait to change my light fixture on the ceiling, again for better lighting, less eye strain. It doesn't look like much now, bit it's already better than it was. Let's keep going!! 😆
