Beadwork, smoke-tanned hide and star blankets — made by hand, one piece at a time, sold direct from the maker. No gallery markup. Just craft.
Parallel 53 is rooted in Kinosao Sipi — Norway House Cree Nation — on Treaty Five Territory. The medicine wheel, the York boat, the moose and the fish are who we are: a people shaped by the water and the land. Every bead we set carries that home with it.
Parallel 53 is a one-person studio: every earring, medallion, moccasin and blanket is designed and finished by hand. Turquoise, fire red, gold and navy — the colours of the beadwork are the colours of home.
