Wanna purchase some beadwork? Live in Canada but have conflicting feelings about it's history and want to support the Indigenous people that live here? Do you just feel fed up with Canada Day nonsense?
Here are some beadwork artists in MY neighborhood that you should check out!
C'eldzïn Beadwork! I've bought her work before (the bisexual earrings) and she was kind enough to change said earrings to clip-ons for me! Her work is gorgeous and I highly recommend it!
Small Town Earrings!! They have very cute beadwork pieces, including some Pokemon and LOZ themed ones!!! I highly recommend their work as well!
Strong Blood Creations!! They're a trio of Indigenous women that create and distribute beadwork; I bought a hair clip from them recently that was absolutely gorgeous!!
Carmen Redunante! She's a Nisga'a/Chilean artist who sells absolutely gorgeous beadwork as well as other jewelry, prints, and and tapestry!!
More artists may be added later!!
This post was brought to you by: an almost exact same thread I did on twitter that I posted right as the entire site imploded so I decided to share the artists here so that they'd actually get traction! Twitter sucks

Admirer and the muse.
apparently posting HQ pics makes it compress in a blurry manner on tumblr so hopefully this works better.

Happy 221B day because it’s 2/21!
Take some WIPs from a 221 Bakery x Moriar-Tea shop AU, because I always seem to knead some kinda bakery AU for every ship I’ve loved (great pun opportunities)
I started this comic about a month ago oops.
Some notes:
- 221 Bakery opens next door to Moriar-tea Shop
- Hudson is their landlord
- Sherly and Watson were college roommates, the shop is named after their dorm room number 221B

fundamentally i think 'do you think that it's absolutely paramount to dismantle the US war machine' is a much better litmus test for 'do i consider us on the same general political page' than 'are you a revolutionary communist'. sure they often go hand in hand, but not always!
