Hi Friends!  

Yá'át'ééh!!! (Hello), welcome to Beading Soul Creations. Thank you so much for taking Interest in my 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 reside in Phoenix, Arizona. A stay-at-home mother of 4 children. I discovered beadwork at the age of 8yrs old. Inspired by both of my parents. I watched and learned the technique throughout my childhood. 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. 

  20+ years later here I am. Thanks to my mother who helped me find my way back "home". Beading Soul Creations was founded. Since March 2020 I've found this my new passion in my life. I am truly honored that my beadwork has allowed me to share my passion and creations with you all.  I do believe genetic memory plays its part in my gift and I'm so grateful for this. My beadwork is good medicine, and its 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 myself and my family. 

  So, if you're here for inspiration, to cheer me on, or to buy some beadwork; I appreciate you!  Thank you for all the support and continuing to follow me on my journey. Ahéhee' (Thank you).

XoXo!
