THROWBACK THURSDAY:
A Page From The Past
|
I remember when... this book came out! This was one of the early great books on the Zuni families of fetish carvers, the carvings and the materials used in carving. Originally published in 1990; Revised Edition, 1995. Take a look at page 60 for the young budding artists of the Quandelacy family and page 64 for Colvin and Claudia Peina just for starters. Oh, so young!
We have two current copies of this book left in the Shop, click here to see them.

WE HAVE THREE -3- THREE REMINDERS FOR YOU!
|
The first reminder is we are open this Saturday, June 18 (our third Saturday opening), from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., and we look forward to seeing you!
The second reminder is that this Sunday, June 19 is Father's Day! So, we're just in time with our third Saturday opening to help you with a selection of gifts for the fathers and father figures in your lives. We wish all of you a wonderful Father's Day weekend!
The third reminder is that our 15% discount on any item related to Pollinators* continues through June 24th - this is a GREAT time to shop and take 15% off a great variety of items in recognition of National Pollinator Week.
You would be surprised how many of the items in the Shop are related in one way or another to pollinators or plants - we think of hummingbirds, butterflies and bees but did you consider squash blossoms? Since most of our summer crops, including squashes and melons, rely on pollinators, that means, in addition to squash blossom necklaces and earrings, any piece of artwork with a squash blossom design is included, too! How about arts that have the shapes of melon ribs, such as pottery or jewelry?! Take a look around and you will be surprised what you find. (If we have overlooked marking something on the web store, just give us a call or an email and we are happy to discuss - it's been a learning experience for all of us!)
*Bronzes, publications, notecards, consignments and a few select crafts and jewelry excluded.
Stop in to learn more about this natural phenomenon that is so important for Mother Earth, and see the fruits of the blossoming talent of today's American Indian artists. Learn more about Pollinators in American Indian Art and be sure to check out our online selection of work on our Highlights page.
Join us as we celebrate pollinators and enjoy taking
15% off items with pollinators!
Check out our New Additions on our Online Store -
we're working to continually add items for you.
