"Dress
Series: Green Crow" This
quilt was inspired by a crow woman's dress that was decorated
with elk's teeth. Only two teeth from an elk were suitable for
decorative use and a dress covered with elk's teeth reflected
a husband's hunting skills. As manufactured cloth came available,
women started substituting it for tanned hide but continued
to use the same decorative accents. I used mother-of-pearl discs
in place of teeth. For many years I worked as a clothing designer
creating fashion inspired by American Indian clothing. My love
of the color, texture and design elements on clothing is carried
on in some of my work as a quilt artist.
