I really appreciate this opportunity to reconnect with beadwork and remember our lost sisters...my vamps are made using and mixture or new and antique glass beads...I wanted to simply make them as a beautiful reminder of the many women who are missing. by Elizabeth Chapman

"I am honouring Metis women by using Metis floral beadwork style, with flowers that were used traditionally for many uses, including healing and medicine. I hope this symbolizes the healing that I wish for all the affected families of missing women." by Sharla Cote

"The blue one is titled "Rosa" and the red one "Adeline." Although the project information indicates the last 20 years, I thought of my own grandmother (Rosa) and her sister (Adeline) who were murdered several years earlier and justice was never served." by Lorna Chartier

"Mary's Love Breaking Through the Tears" These are beaded in honor of my mother, Mary Elizabeth Bazin. She was a survivor of savage and horrific violence, and although she survived, a piece of her soul was murdered and she was haunted for the remainder of her life. The background is sage green, to represent prayers and peace. I beaded hearts and tears ... to represent how, even through her tears, my mother had the strength and immense capacity to create and bestow her love on anyone around her. by Debbie Bazin Dostie

I made these in memory of my Aunty Jen Catcheway, who has been missing for over 5 years. I used paint, sequins and cloth. My mom helped me with the edging. Aunty Jen, I miss you! by Jutta Ducharme
