Walk in beauty
Hi Friends!
Yá'át'ééh!!! (Hello), welcome to Beading Soul Creations. Thank you so much for taking Interest in our beautiful creations! My name is Lenaya Tso. I’m a Navajo Woman (Diné asdzáán) enrolled member from the Navajo Nation Tribe located in New Mexico. I was born and raised in Fruitland, NM. I am Nihoobáanii — Gray Streak Ends Clan/Light Colored Soil/Brown Streak Clan born for Tó’aheedlíinii — Water-Flows-Together Clan, my maternal grandfathers are Hashtł’ishnii — Mud/Clay Clan and my paternal grandfathers are Ta’neeszahnii — Badlands/Tangle/Among Scattered/Poles Strung out at the Water/Hogan on the Rock Clan.
I am based out in Phoenix, Arizona. A stay-at-home mother, an artist, a designer and an entrepreneur. I discovered my passion for beadwork at the age of 8yrs old. Inspired by both of my parents. I watched and learned the technique throughout my childhood. I watched my parents travel showcasing their artwork and talents for many years. At the age of 12yrs old I lost my little brother. With a broken heart and a part of my soul gone, I completely lost passion in beadwork and in everything. So, I put down the beading needle and stepped away to find myself.
20+ years later here I am. Beading Soul Creations was founded in March 2020. The brand produces intricate handmade beadwork, ribbon skirts and leatherwork. I've found this my new passion in my life. I am truly honored that my beadwork, ribbon skirts and leatherwork have allowed me to share my passion and creations with you all. I do believe genetic memory plays a major role in my creative gifts, allowing me to connect with my Diné roots and pass down cultural art forms. I am so blessed and grateful for this. My beadwork is good medicine that is deeply healing in its own way. I love working with my hands and creating new ideas. My passion and creations also help me to be able to provide for my family.
So, if you're here for inspiration, to cheer me on, or to buy some beadwork, ribbon skirt and/or leatherwork; I appreciate you! Thank you for all the support and continuing to follow me on my journey. Ahéhee' (Thank you).

As a hands-on person, he is blessed to create designs on leather such as hand tooled, hand stitched and any custom designs. This is now his passion. Continue to follow his journey on his new path.
