A summer field laid down on snow. Sunflowers carry the sun, red poppies stand guard over the home and its memory, and cornflowers bring the summer sky — a whole meadow gathered onto a white ground of pure light.

Loomed by hand in Ukraine, bead by bead on cotton thread, in the gerdan tradition that once told a village its wearer's story at a glance.

One of one. Arrives gift-ready.

Hand-loomed beadwork cannot be duplicated exactly — thread tension, bead lots and the maker’s hand all leave their signature. Small differences are not flaws; they are the proof.
