The Taltohma Blog is a space where adornment meets story. Here, we explore the cultural history of waist beads, the art and materials behind their creation, and the deeply personal journeys women experience through wearing them. Some posts are reflective, others are educational, and many begin with everyday conversations that happen right here in the studio.
