We created this design for our Wild Plums Crew Socks by combining traditional Ojibwe beadwork designs with a modern color palette.
About Design:
The wild plum design is considered an “Old Style” floral in Ojibwe art. With simplified shapes and repeated patterns, wild plum designs were ideal for beading, as with even only a few bead colors an artist could make a work of true beauty. The design on these crew socks—adapted from patterns and techniques over a hundred years old—brings the wild plum design into the twenty-first century.
“What I love about our designs is the way our plants are turned into line work. When we look closely we see the foods and medicines of our community,” -Sarah.
