These stunning beaded hair barettes are handcrafted by Athena in Inuvik, and are a beautiful fashion accessory.
Athena Grandjambe lives and creates in Inuvik. She learned how to bead and sew by watching family members while growing up. As she touched base with these skills years later, Athena now feels that her art practice greatly reconnected her to her culture and traditions. She is eager to continue learning new techniques, which include embroidery and working with furs and moosehide.
