The summer is coming to a close. It’s almost time for harvesting crops for the upcoming winter. Navajo and Pueblo farmers will soon begin harvesting their crops in their fields across the reservations. It will soon be time to honor our Corn Mother and enjoy the bountiful harvest of Indian corn (not sweet corn) prepared in a variety of ways.
I created 3 female Corn Dancer pendants set with natural turquoise stones. Each of these abstract figures is a woman wearing a traditional Pueblo woman’s headress called a tabilta (the stepped silver part of the figure). I hope you consider purchasing one of my handmade pieces to add to your jewelry collection.
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. Thank you and enjoy!

Corn Dancer #1 Pendant
Hand-fabricated sterling silver pendant set with natural Pilot Mountain turquoise (face) and natural Morenci turquoise (body). This pendant comes with a 16″ 4-strand hand-braided leather cord.
I have been working on some spider pins this weekend. I made 4 spiders–3 are pins and one is a pendant. I will be posting these pics when I straightenen out my technical difficulty. I have a feeling it will be until later this week. Stay tuned for spider pins and pendants.
I wanted to give my visitors an update on where to find my jewelry and weaving available for sale. For serious Navajo weaving collectors, I take personal appointments to show my weavings not shown online. All of my weavings are museum quality and definitely one-of-a kind.
I believe there are a few my jewelry pieces still available at Shiprock Trading. I currently have my recent jewelry available at the Case Trading Post at the Wheelwright Museum. Please check with Robb Lucas, the Case Trading Post Manager, for current availability.
I also make presentations and have my weaving and jewelry for sale at Jennie Slick and Mary Walker’s Weaving Boot Camp class while they are teaching in Window Rock, AZ. Please visit Mary Walker’s website, Weaving In Beauty, at www.weavinginbeauty.com for dates for her beginning, intermediate, and advanced Weaving Boot Camp classes.
So you’ve twisted my arm. The last location to find my jewelry and weaving for sale is this website. Take a look in my jewelry and weaving galleries. I like and prefer to sell my weavings directly to the collector. I want to ensure my weavings are going to a good home. If you have any questions, please let me know.
I will posting regular weekly updates. I want to share with you my artistic journey and hope you will join me in this journey. Please look for first weekly update this week. Thanks!
This piece is made with varying size of handmade beads with variations of handstamped Dragonfly crosses.
Recently, I’ve been working on variations of the Dragonfly Cross. It’s been a recurring design in my pieces of traditional jewelry. Just as this necklace has several interpretations of the design, there are many ways to view the dragonfly cross and its development. Allison Bird’s book, Heart of the Dragonfly: Historical Development of the Cross Necklaces of the Pueblo and Navajo Peoples examines both the prehistoric southwest symbol of the dragonfly and then the influence of the Catholic church. I refer people to read this book so they can make up their own minds about the origin of this cross what they believe the cross to mean. Please contact me if you’re interested in purchasing this piece.
