    Earth Collection

    The Medicine Wheel is a symbol found across many indigenous nations. The teachings and concepts vary slightly between communities. However, the most common shared symbolism speaks to the four directions, natural elements, states of being, medicines, and phases of life. 

    Our physical world is composed of four classic elements; water, fire, earth, and air. These elements are considered important energy forces and as a part of the medicine wheel, used as a guide and teaching tool for personal growth and learning. The 2018 fall collection introduces the earth element. 

    Earth.

    All living things are supported by earth, the foundation of all the elements. Its energy pulls in as if coaxing one back to motherly love and security. The Earth Collection is about connecting to this safe energy and trusting it will be there for you. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed, take a moment to close your eyes and feel the ground beneath you. This fall, let go of holding space alone and connect with the energy of mother earth to ground and re-center your soul.

The 2018 summer collection introduces the fire element. 

    Fire.

    We need fire to keep us warm and heat our food. Its destructive nature obliterates anything in its path but, with the die-off, there is cleansing and regrowth. The Fire Collection is about shedding old narratives, writing a new chapter, and loving yourself through the process. It’s about giving yourself permission to throw a match at your internal space, watching the flames of shame, anger, fear, and anxiety smolder away into the past. This summer, let love fuel your inner fire as you face fears and push through challenging times. Feed your fire with this love and see what beautiful growth takes place.

    The Medicine Wheel is a symbol found across many indigenous nations. The teachings and concepts vary slightly between communities. However, the most common shared symbolism speaks to the four directions, natural elements, states of being, medicines, and phases of life. 

    Our physical world is composed of four classic elements; water, fire, earth, and air. These elements are considered important energy forces and as a part of the medicine wheel, used as a guide and teaching tool for personal growth and learning. The 2018 spring collection introduces the water element. 

    Water.

    An element we cannot, as humans, live without. On a high vibrational scale, water represents cleansing, purifying, movement, and fluidity. With its polarizing nature, it also symbolizes coldness, stillness, and destruction–an energy of danger and darkness. The Water Collection is about moving through uncertainty and fear with self-compassion. This spring, let courage be your north star as you navigate the uncharted waters of self fear and brave the horizon for new adventures. 

    Design Elements
    The Water Collection introduces the water floral. The teal and blue hues connect back to the water element. The curved outlines and soft shapes celebrate Chippewa woodland floral design.

  • Wedding Collection

    weddings, native american, ojibwe, tribal, american indian, fleece sherpa blanket, floral, heartberry

    The Wedding Collection was inspired by the wedding of Tessa Sayers and Jeremy Logsdon. After getting engaged, Tessa started planning and realized she wanted to create her own wedding invitation with woodland design elements that were Ojibwe/Cree/Metis in nature. She loved the simplicity, sophistication, and symbolism of the design, and therefore decided to create a specific collection in honor of the wedding, but more importantly the theme of connection, commitment and love. 

    The primary focus of the design is the strawberry, because of its shape, it is often referred to as the 'heart berry' in Anishinaabe (means first or original people) culture. The strawberry was an important food and medicinal plant for many indigenous peoples. In the words of elder Lilliam Pitawanakwat, "(the heart berry) is connected to the strawberry plant by a vast system of leaves, runners and roots, so is the heart, connected to all the organs and parts of the human body. The heart is at the center of the human." Tessa was drawn to elder Lillian Pitawanakwat because of her Ojibwe/Potawotami heritage. With Tessa having Ojibwe heritage and Jeremy having Potawatomi, she felt an immediate connection to the stories and teachings of Lillian. She felt it was important to include the strawberry within the design elements and overall theme. Every time she looked at the strawberry, she thought of love, connection and the commitment she was going to make to Jeremy. 

    The collection consists of two blankets, representing two people coming together in love, one in the color cream and the other brown. The collection also incorporates a legging with the brown wedding print. Lastly, the collection showcases the intricate beadwork by Tessa, a necklace and back piece for herself and tie for the groom. 

    This collection is dedicated to all types of love and the commitment we make every day to love ourselves and those around us, through the good and through the challenging times.  May it encourage you to connect more on a deeper level with those around you. May it inspire you to wake up each day with a commitment to share more love with yourself and others.
