  • BL1804 April 2018.Psd
    Blackwork Journey Blog, April 2018 March was a very busy month catching up on all the work that had been left until we came back from Kenya and Abu Dhabi. Collating the photographs made me realise just how much we had done in a few short weeks and how many ideas are bubbling away waiting to be designed and stitched. Meeting so many new people and listening to their ideas about needlework and working with them was inspiration in itself and I was delighted when Vicky sent me some photographs of the work that the ladies had done since I left. I look forward to seeing the pieces finished and their next projects. Whilst in Kenya, I had the opportunity to visit the Masai people in one of their villages in the Masai Mara to see their craft work. I also visited the craft market in Nairobi which was full of handmade items from jewellery and beading to paintings, wooden animals and weaving. The noise, atmosphere, bustle and vibrant colours made it fascinating and in between being hassled to buy something, I spoke to a number of stall holders about the beads and their history. African Trade Beads come in many different colours, shapes and sizes and whilst modern shops sell replicas to the tourists, the old strings of beads were made of brass, bone, amber and coins, thought to have medicinal and healing powers. Each bead was designed individually, irregular in shape and were often hand painted. They were frequently used as currency or bartered and were a symbol of wealth.

A ABALONE These edible sea creatures are members of a large class of molluscs that have one piece shells with an iridescent interior. These shells have a low and open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell’s outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of a dichroic substance called nacre or mother-of-pearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, making it ideal for jewellery and other decorative objects. Iridescent nacre varies in colour from silvery white, to pink, red and green- red, through to deep blues, greens, and purples. Read more in our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary. Above are examples of Paua and Red Abalone.

  • The Spirit of Beads Sharing Our Stories
    October 25, 2020 - August 28 2021 The Spirit of Beads Ukrainian Museum of Canada Ontario Branch Sharing our Stories Exhibition Resource Guide Presented by Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Native Canadian Centre of Toronto Ontario Branch We gratefully acknowledge the support of our sponsors About the exhibit The Spirit of Beads: Sharing our Stories is co-presented by the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch and the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto. This is the Museum's first collaboration with another organisation outside of the Ukrainian community, and we are delighted to have this opportunity. The Spirit of Beads: Sharing our Stories celebrates the beauty of Indigenous and Ukrainian beaded artifacts, including clothing, jewelry, bags, and more. This exhibition includes historic and contemporary beadwork and explores how this art form has come to represent the complex identities of Ukrainians and Indigenous cultures in Canada. It begins with the history of the bead trade in North America and Ukraine, tracing the origin of beads from natural materials such as stones, shells, and bones, to commercially-manufactured beads. The exhibit features modern pieces of beadwork from contemporary artists alongside historical objects from the Museum's collection and the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto, to demonstrate how modern beadwork re- invents and expresses past and present understandings of cultural identity. We have also been very fortunate to include pieces from private collections and individuals, making this exhibit very special. We are delighted to make this resource guide available to complement the content of The Spirit of Beads: Sharing our Stories. We hope that this will be a valuable addition for both individuals and institutions to begin their research and learning.
