Rings of Saturn
I made this piece at the request of a dear friend. Well, she requested a round , black stone and I took it from there. I’m forever and always inspired by this grand universe and onyx is a modern gemstone of Saturn and this is what came together. It almost called to me and it […]
Desert Drifter
On the vernal equinox, I spent most of the day doing one of my favorite things, abandoned house hunting in Wonder Valley. The weather was perfect, as were the clouds. I’ve amassed quite the collection of photos of these homesteads over the past few years. The crazy thing is, I’m not even close to having […]
Round and Round
I’m basically circle obsessed right now. Everything I want to make is round in shape. Perhaps I’ll do a little line with my newest obsession as my muse. I recently made these for one of my dearest, as daily drivers.
A Good Cause
My pal Mr. Vogel has created a pretty rad shirt for a really good cause. All proceeds will be going towards the current refugee crisis happening in Europe. I just purchased mine and you can too, right HERE.
Game Over.
Jason Takala wins. I haven’t the words for how truly incredible THIS piece of amazingness is. I’m having a hard time even wrapping my head around it. From the artistry, the meaning and the perfect execution, this quite possibly is my favorite piece of adornment I’ve ever laid eyes on. I mean the friggin kachina […]
these days
Yesterday was a good day. Reason one, the Big Time Pow Wow and spending the afternoon with one of my favorite people. Reason two, the mothership came to town and I get to spend three days with her. A scene from reason one.
mother lodge delivery
Yesterday I was having a moody kind of day. The kind where you’re in a particular mood and you’re not sure why. Well, when I came up from the studio, I found a package at my door. As soon as I saw who it was from I knew what goodness was inside. Needless to say […]
gathering
In the years I lived in Albuquerque, I somehow never managed to make my way to the Gathering of Nations. I decided it was due time to change that. Following what was my first good night’s sleep and two substantial New Mexican meals, I took my semi-coherent self to the pit. Although attending alone, I […]
sights
I really saw a whole heck of a lot. Being that I’m starting to feel like I have weeks of posts about the ol adventure, here’s one that’s a little condensed. Randoms and the places they were found. Navajo Twin Rocks, Utah Chimney Rock in Ute Mountain Tribal Park, Colorado Old San Miguel Mission, Socorro, […]
it’s a family affair
these are two of my most cherished pieces of jewelry and well, items in general. they not only belonged to my grandfather but were made by him. in some small way i hope that i am carrying out what he never went further than a hobby with.
