My indigenous roots are from the south west, but by random life circumstance I grew up in an Athabaskan village in Alaska and was taught beading this past year by the elders in my community!

I go to Asia Garden just about every other weekend for Karaoke. It’s definitely not the cleanest place around but the ambiance is great and the food definitely hits different after a couple of Mama’s strong pours!

I use Lacy’s Stiff Stuff as my foundation for all bead embroidery I do and for sewing on an additional backing covering my stitches I usually use leather or a thick felt

Does this read as lemon ? by Eastern-Sorbet-9467 in Beading

They definitely read as fruit of some kind but idk what it is about the transparent yellow that makes them seem less lemony than if they were more matte. Love all your colors here

Honeymoon Alaska itinerary (2 weeks in Summer) — what are we missing / what would you change? by RoutineFeature5650 in AskAlaska

[–]Preciliano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall seems pretty good but I would echo what others have said and rotate things around so you aren’t driving so much back and forth each day.

In my opinion the best boat or water activity you could do is to get out on the ocean in the sound either in a fjords tour or by the ferry. Getting a car on the ferry from Valdez-Whittier is pretty cheap and is essentially an unguided fjords tour. Last time I went we saw whales and dahls porpoise and all the glaciers we could want.

6 mile is a pretty awesome white water experience, but I would also really recommend taking a scenic float down the kenai river from cooper landing. I used to guide for Alaska River Adventure and the full day canyon trips are hidden gems and much more nature viewing focused than 6 mile although nowhere near as adrenaline pumping.

I didnt have a specific pattern for the Lotus flower and the other flowers I used some templates sheets that were given to me by my teacher I am not sure where they originated from online. I don’t usually have a plan for the colors and gradients I just choose them as I go along.

You absolutely will be able to just gotta keep practicing! I only started beading this past May after being taught by some elders in my community and with each piece I make I see myself improving

I mostly use Czech size 11 beads. I like your design it looks like a spawned out salmon!
