This octopus bag was created during the Mixed Level Regalia - Octopus Bags class taught by Lorraine Kahle in 2020. The raised pollen on the beaded flowers is a technique taught by Lorraine Kahle and visible on Kahle's Beaded Bag with Raven Design and Alaska Forget-Me-Not Flowers on display.
"I learned how to bead from Lorraine Kahle, and I am forever grateful!
My family doesn't have regalia. My grandma went to Sheldon Jackson [Boarding School] and my mom was taught to be ashamed of our culture. I am honored to learn."- Sagoot, Katie Carlson
