Howlite Beaded Flat Stitch Studs by Leah Joan

These flat stitch earrings use a mixture of size 10 seed beads. They feature slightly oval shaped howlite cabs backed with a pale polished hide and earring posts. Each earring is approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm) tall and 0.875 inches (2.22 cm) wide.

Leah Joan is a Red River Métis beadwork artist from Treaty One Territory and a new mother whose creative practice is rooted in culture, family, and the reclamation of ancestry. Her work features feminine floral beadwork in soft pastel tones, blending traditional Métis influence with contemporary design. Guided by care, intention, and a distinct Métis aesthetic, each piece reflects beauty, identity, and cultural expression.
