FAQs
“I’m not indigenous, can I still purchase and wear beadwork?”
For the most part, absolutely! Most beaders are comfortable with non-indigenous people wearing their work, as long as the beadwork is not for the purpose of ceremony or regalia. If you are unsure, there are many resources that can help clarify what indigenous regalia looks like. If it doesn’t look like that style of work, you’re in the clear for showing cultural appreciation and not appropriation!
“Can you do custom orders?”
On occasion, I love doing orders. If you would like to inquire for a custom order, please message me on Facebook or Instagram and we can discuss the design and colours. The only exception is outright copying someone else’s work, I will only accept orders for unique ideas or remakes of my previous work.
“The estimated shipping is expensive, can you do untracked parcels?”
Absolutely! If you are within Canada, I can send your order in an untracked bubble mailer for $5. Please message me on social media with what you would like to purchase, and I can send an invoice that can be paid with credit card or E-transfer. However, Ruxie Beadwork will not be responsible for any lost packages.
