• T&T uses a variety of natural and factory made products. The emphasis and focus is on upcycling, and repurposing materials when possible. Other items include: copper, brass, nickel, iron. Bones, teeth, antlers, leather, beaver tail leather, feathers, berries, plants, flowers. Glass cut beads, vintage pearls, and jewelry, epoxy molds, rocks, sticks and crystals.

  • All materials I use, have been gifted, purchased or personally picked/collected/cleaned, and loved. All animal products have been sourced ethically, and many have been travelling with me for many years. Items are mainly from Manitoba, however there are items that I have collected from my travels all over the globe. Traditional Indigenous protocol (laying tobacco) is used when picking plants/or choosing plant items.

  • Copper/Metal: The best and easiest way to polish/clean copper is with baking soda and dish soap. Gently soap and then rinse. Wiping dry with a soft cloth. Copper is a living metal, and will oxidize and darken. Copper items with a patina/flame painted, may lose their coating/color over time : this is normal, and is just one of the ways that copper evades our control.

    Leather/Natural Items/Other: Gentle wiping with water, using a q-tip or small paintbrush, to remove exterior soiling. Leaves/berries etc. Should not be cleaned with water/solvents, and should be treated delicately.
