The Beaded Guitar Strap
BIO...

Born February 2, 1984
Mohawk, Turtle Clan from Six Nations, Iroquois Confederacy
I started Beading in 2000. My first piece was a guitar strap.
Some of the musicians who own my straps are Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar / Grady), John~Angus MacDonald (The Trews), George Leach and many more local artists.
I always get inspired by music and the First Nation (Onkwehon:weh) people and culture. Iroquois people used beadwork, which we called wampum belts, to communicate or record history.
I greatly enjoy creating these unique pieces of art.
NYA : WEH!
THANK YOU!
