| Statement: |
I
design contemporary and Native American traditional jewelry.
I make chokers and necklaces out of turquoise heishi &
multi-colored stones & shells. I carve bird fetishes,
using turquoise & different kinds of shells, such
as pipestones, mother of pearl, serpentine, abalone shells,
red, orange and purple oyster shells, and black jet strung
onto light or dark olive shell heishi. I also carve orange
tip olive shell bird fetish necklaces. I also do beadwork
using glass beads, traditionally designed and styled in
the southwest designs. I also incorporate turqoise heishi
and various shells with silver and design them in my beaded
bracelets and chokers. Much of my work is custom designed. |
