Hand-stitched Native American “Generational” Canvas wall art.  This is a piece full of symbolism. The circular fish is in honor of my grandfather, Raleigh Butterfield. The colors and stars are the colors of the medicine wheel to show balance in the universe. The yellow beam in the center is the sun coming over the horizon. The Black figure in the center is Grandmother spider, with the white lines representing her web calling sun home. This piece is custom framed.
 
This one-of-a-kind piece was hand-sewn using size 11 seed beads over hundreds of hours in intricate detail. This statement piece would look great on a mantel, in a well-trafficked entryway or entertaining space.
 
 Size: 22" x 28”
