Most people think the weaving is the hard part.

But once it’s off the loom, the work still isn’t over. 😅

Braiding and tucking loose ends, cutting and trimming, sewing on backing, and adding finishing elements like fur and straps…

Honestly, this part of the process is probably the hardest for me to follow through on. 😂

What part of a project always seems to take the longest for you? 🤔

I found an old video breaking down some of the details in this Ravenstail piece, and I couldn’t resist sharing it. 🌤️

Three-strand twining, compact designs, spiral wefts…there are so many little details woven into a piece that can be easy to miss at first glance.

What part of Ravenstail weaving would you want to learn more about? And should I make more videos like this? 🤔

It has dawned on us again! I'm Gush Tlein, I hold the name Goodlawú too. I belong to the Naanya.aayí clan, Mudshark House. I’m the child of the Kiks.ádi and grandchild of the Naanya.aayí and Teeyhittaan. We are the people of the Stikine River. Speaking/teaching the Lingít language and practicing weaving are my passions.

I’ve had quite a bit of new followers lately and it’s been a while since I’ve introduced myself and popped in to say hello! Gunalchéesh for following along and supporting my work! 😊

Seeing this piece on display feels so surreal! ❤️🐸

My Frog Backbone Bag is currently on exhibit at Sealaska Heritage Institute through early December as part of the Celebration 2026 Juried Art Show.

This piece was inspired by the Kiks.ádi and Teeyhittaan aunties in Wrangell who I grew up admiring—women who carried our culture forward and kept it alive within our family across generations. As I wove this bag, I often thought about their strength, creativity, and the example they set for those of us who followed.

Once the exhibit ends, this bag will be gifted to a special frog in my family, which makes sharing it in this show even more meaningful.

If you find yourself in Juneau this year, stop by and see the incredible work on display from artists across our region.
