Stormie

Stormie Trujillo comes from the Navajo-Apache tribe and she learned the craft of bead work and leather observing her grandparents’ traditional and intricate bead weaving technique for hours during her childhood.

She uses all natural and recycled materials: buckskin leather, antique metal beads, aquamarines, citrines, emeralds, sapphires, rubies, opals, tourmalines, turquoises, bones, woods, glass, antique coins, among others.

Each piece is handmade, one-of-a-kind, and embodies its own unique meaning, often using Native American symbols and soothing blends of colors.

Stormie lives in Los Angeles on ranch land that has been in her family for decades, where she practices her craft daily.
