A hand-beaded floral keychain by Cree artist Lilian F. Sam of Chisasibi. Each one is stitched bead by bead into a stepped panel with flowers on a white background, framed by a contrasting border and finished with small beaded flowers at the top and bottom.

Floral beadwork is one of the best-loved traditions in Cree design, and Lilian brings it down to a size you can carry every day on your keys, your bag or a zipper.

Available Styles

Red Rose: white background with a gunmetal border, red roses with teal and turquoise leaves, tan leather loop on a silver-tone split ring
