I know I’m 9 years late but this was incredible- that beading had me saying ooohhh, wowwww, awwww! I’m telling you I felt cheated that I didn’t get to see more- especially the guy who had all the flags in his work- I literally was gasping! They both had just gorgeous work. And for anyone thinking this is ‘culture appropriation’ think again- this is EXACTLY how we honor each others cultures and we need more of it!
