Peyote stitch beadwork from Missoula, MT. Made by Kenneth "Sonny" Martin

My given name is Ken, though I’ve gone by Sonny my whole life. I’m Indigenous, with family roots in Montana and lineage connected to the Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes.

I’m a single dad to a teenager. I work in tech by trade. Beadwork is where I slow down.

I approach beadwork like solving a puzzle — starting with a design and working through it stitch by stitch. Once a piece is finished, I usually move on. Repeating the same design doesn’t hold much interest for me, so most of the time each piece is made to be one of a kind.

I’m not interested in mass production or constant selling. I make what feels right, when it feels right. If pieces are sold, traded, or gifted along the way, that’s part of the process. I’m always open to trades with people I know or trust. Also open to other projects on a case by case basis.

Thanks for your interest! -Sonny
