Native American Hand Beaded Bag: The Butterfly

“The Red Butterfly bag was in a dream I had during the of Savannah Greywinds disappearance. As a mother I was very distraught over the final outcome of this beautiful young lady. The crosses represent prayers from myself and family. The green and gold swirls represent my thoughts. The butterfly is a symbol of hope.”
~Joelle Follows The Road, 2019
