Traditional Beadwork
and Design
by Diana K. Miller
May 14th - July 14th, 2004
Inspiration came in many ways for Diana Miller.
Throughout her life she has been gifted with the talent
of drawing, as well as creating handiwork utilizing
embroidery, crochet, and eventually beadwork. Her mother
was the crux of the many talents she possesses, and
helped her to develop the finer points of her craft.
Miller was motivated to venture into beadwork during
her employment at the Tipi Shop Incorporated, an arts
and crafts shop formerly located in the old Sioux Indian
Museum in Halley Park, Paid City, South Dakota. There
she learned from the artisans who brought their craftwork
through studying the historic pieces in the museum as
well as researching books published about various beadwork
collections.
