These are the vamps for the project. I didn't complete the edging on one of the vamps to symbolize the unfinished lives of our sisters in spirit. The red thread is to symbolize hope and change, the two things that cannot be taken. My prayers go out to the children, sisters, mothers, nieces and nephews, fathers and brothers of all our missing and stolen sisters. Blessings to each of you and may your fingers stitch beauty. by Gregory A Scofield

Walking Woman Inspired by rock art of a walking woman at Kejimujik National Park in Nova Scotia and Mi'kmaq beadwork in honor of my Acadian ancestors and relations. The Double Spiral symbol on her dress hem shows up in Rock Art around the world and embodies the expansion and contraction of perpetual motion and the torus that energizes all life. This Moccasin Vamp Pair #3 is made of cut glass beads size 6, 8, and 15, on red cotton cloth backed with leather and edged with black satin ribbon. by Charleen Touchette

Always Dawn Designed to evoke the cool beautiful feeling of Dawn, of Daybreak, of being out in the world as it wakes, new, fresh, before it gets ruined, before it changes, before the unthinkable happens—because we have all felt that feeling of possibility and hopefulness, the new of that new day. We give the missing women this feeling of dawn, always, always. by Barbara Tyner
