Native-Made Handwoven
Contemporary Beadweaving​

Inspired by the Choctaw language, mythology, and traditional dress, my beadwork is handcrafted using the finest Japanese glass beads, nylon thread, and a delicate needle without the use of a bead loom. As each bead is stitched with good thoughts and intentions, the needle and thread pass through each bead several times. From design conception to final stitch, each pair of 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐋 earrings takes 2-4 hours and contains an average of 1,200 beads.

Who is Lillie Nell?

My name is Holly Nolan and I am the artist behind  𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐋.  Named for my paternal grandmother, 𝐋𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐋𝐋 is not just a brand, but a bridge between generations. My Granny Lillie Nell, a traditional Choctaw dressmaker, embodied remarkable strength, a strong work ethic, and deep care for our community, crafting garments that kept our heritage alive. Guided by her spirit, I carry forward Granny's legacy in my beadwork, maintaining the thread of connection she so lovingly crafted.

Can non-Native people wear Native-made beadwork?
