My name is Selena Sandman-Wells & I am the owner of SSW Beadwork. I was born & raised in Havre, MT & I am a member of the Chippewa Cree Tribe. At the age of 12, my auntie taught me how to bead & it has been an important part of my life ever since. I enjoy and find passion in beading because it brings me closer to culture and allows me to express myself creatively. The Bears Paw Mountains are a constant source of inspiration for me, and I endeavor to reflect the palette of our local environment in the design of my handcrafted earrings.
