Miel Reversible Blanket by Mini Tipi

This gorgeous everyday blanket is made from sustainable fabric. It’s perfect for family picnics, camping, and getting cozy around the campfire and is made large enough for a queen-size bed or a throw blanket. The warm and luxurious wool blend makes them soft, yet washable. The trim adds a beautiful finish. 

This original work has been digitalized to represent a one-of-a-kind birch bark-biting piece. The distinct lines in the fabric show the character of a birch tree. 

MINI TIPI connects with artists who are making an impact in Indigenous communities, who have a connection to the culture, and who are sharing their knowledge through art.

About the design:

A birch bark biting is a unique piece of Indigenous artwork. They are made from biting an image, using only the teeth, into a thin, single layer of birch bark harvested from the birch tree. Then, by carefully folding the bark, the pattern imagined is pressed into the birch bark, using only the teeth. Because each piece must be created individually, birch bark bitings are like people; no two are exactly alike!

"I honour the water and the bees. They are two things that everything on Mother Earth depend on and therefore are deserving of the utmost respect. Without them, nothing would exist."—Pat Bruderer
