Aaniin!
(Hello!)
Welcome to
Benjamin's Beaded Bling!
Benjamin's Beaded Bling ("BBB") is owned and operated by me: Amber Benjamin-Dorr, an enrolled member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota.
Take a moment to browse the site. You can view previously sold work in the Galleries; some pieces may still be available from my Collections.
In the shop, you'll usually find beadwork including (but not limited to): barrettes, earrings, medallions, lanyards, and pins that are ready to ship.
-
You'll sporadically find large and mini wallets; beaded sets with multiple pieces; badge and/or ID holders; and lighter cases.
-
You may also find some quilted projects, i.e. oven mitt sets.
-
I am open to doing custom work. Please see this post for average cost and timeframe before reaching out.
You can learn about the artist and how BBB came to be by clicking here. You can also check out my blog, where I sometimes post about owning a small business, beadwork BTS, or some random tangents about my other interests. You can scroll further down to see what I'm currently working on.
Chi-Miigwech for checking out Benjamin's Beaded Bling!
