I met your mom and dad in the 1970s I think in Montana....then I met up with her in Santa Fe at Mark Winters near the old Bull Ring.....I love her.....she is/was a great woman.......you are fortunate to have learned from her.......God Bless.....
Such amazing and beautiful work. That elk and those sneakers were just gorgeous. Parts of the geometric designs seem so familiar to the beadwork of Sindh, Pakistan, where I was born. Sindhis also make intricate geometric designs from precious, semi-precious and glass beads. Beaded jewellery of different kinds is very popular in all of the Indian subcontinent.
Omg i need several pairs of those shoes. No joke would love to buy some for my n kids plus my kids at Chemawa Indian headstart of salem oregon. These are beautiful. Thank u for your story. Your work and legacy will last life times. Much love from Salem,Ore
This woman is so inspiring. I'd love to buy a pair of her shoes. Heck, I'd love to even just get a lesson from her and hear her stories. She is so interesting and passionate about what she does. I'm honestly a little jealous. Growing up in an environment like her sounds so unreal. I know it exist, it is just so different from the environment I grew up in.
Teri your work is amazing! I am a professional retired soldier and have just in the past 5 years started to reproduce Sioux War Shirts and the Crow. You are what I consider a Master at what you create. I unfortunately started this FANTASTIC hobby when I turned 60. I copy museum works, and I wish to eventually create some designs of my own.
Hi thanks for sharing beadwork art with us and also it good thing to beadwork your talking about lazy stitch aka hup stitch thanks i understand quill work i talk about pockupine quills thanks again and good luck
I know this takes many years to learn,but have always loved moccasins, and the bead work , moccasins are always my foot where of choice,I would really like to be taught how to do this ,I have the patience and time,but trying to find a teacher within my area my be Abit hard , thanks so kindly for sharing the video
This is an amazing video and education. I am 25% Maidu from California and my grandparents grew up in a Rancheria which they were forced into off the land and their reservation. Although we continue to get recognized but he govt, there is a large wall in the National Museum of the American Indian in DC for our tribe. We all spent time annual at the Stanford Pow Wows. So... these are just some items for you to take me seriously. In any case, I think your beed work is amazing and I am going to share this with Converse and push them to see the story. 💕
I think I've watched your video about 3 times now...your a great speaker & inspiration for women (& men)...I've just started to bead again....do you or have you done any tutorials? I'd love to see your technique on the shoes....they're very inspiring. Art is art...always in the eye of the beholder... Thanks Teri !!!!
I love your story and how you shared how you grew up. I am so inspired by you and your beadwork. I want to bead a pair of shoes with my story. May I ask what size needle you use and thread? I am part Native from the the Lakota tribe is what my grand mother told us. I love it.
I have tried beading myself, it's just hard to communicate vocally what I am doing since there is no word for beading in German (my native language) :( but the beads I use are actually called indian beads

Hi Teri, I was fascinated by your talk - thank you so much for sharing. I am a beader based in the UK and just find you so inspiring!
Thank you Teri Greeves for doing this interview. I learnt a lot about Kiowa culture and her art.

I love your bead work! Also love the tennis shoes, gorgeous!
The depth of feeling you were able to transport when you talked about the 'lost language' of old pieces of beadwork really got to me!
I really enjoyed this! What you have shared is why I have done beadwork for the last 20 years. Thank you!
I think in pictures. You speak in pictures. I can “see” the women of your life around you when you speak. You are blessed.

Where can I find hides to work with
I have tried beading myself, it's just hard to communicate vocally what I am doing since there is no word for beading in German (my native language) :(
but the beads I use are actually called indian beads
I have much education regarding art & have done cartc professionally. I call what you're doing, "art".
Wopila! A'ho!
They say everything women do is craft. Not art. Who cares.
