Judy Shaner - Beadwork and Leather Tooling Artist
Judy grew up in Alaska living off the land with her large family. She didn't own a pair of store-bought shoes until the age of 19. The family made their own clothing and shoes, hunted and lived off the wild land of beautiful Alaska.
Judy is Native American Cherokee and Dutch. She is presently living in Everett, Pennsylvania. She is over sixty years young and enjoys beadwork and leather tooling. Her large Macaw birds are her constant companions while she works at her crafts.
In her own words regarding her leather tooling..."All my western-tooled leather items are hand-made originals by me - cut, tooled, laced and finished by hand on vegetable-tanned leather. Each and every piece is one-of-a-kind, the same as the beadwork items I make. No patterns for anything."
Judy's beadwork is a work of beauty. When she makes a pair of beaded moccasins they are nearly perfect! She is an artistic perfectionist; her beaded pouches and gauntlets are a work of art. She strives to keep the flame of her Native culture alive in her work, and one can sense her close kinship to her Cherokee ancestry.
