Serious question… Is Jamie Okuma the greatest beadwork artist ever?! 🐐
Commenting under yesterday’s viral Alien Facehugger post, Black & Oglala Lakota icon YoNasDa LoneWolf (queenyonasda) called Jamie the “Beading GOAT!!! 🔥🔥🔥” — and she doesn’t throw that title around lightly. So when YoNasDa says it, you know it’s from a place of deep respect.
#SWIPE: From high fashion to horror to pop culture, Okuma’s range is arguably unmatched. 🧵🪡
Every piece is a masterclass in detail — often taking months (sometimes years) to complete. With only a handful of originals available, most of her work now lives in museums across Turtle Island.
So… Let’s settle something — Do y’all agree with YoNasDa?! Is Jamie one of the greatest beadwork artists of all-time?! 👀💭⤵️
ALSO — Which slide/piece from our list is your favorite?! Do you dream of owning one of her pieces one day?!
