Ours was spent with some time off, but still with a healthy amount of time directed at buying and making new contacts for future inventory. The extra time off also gave us the opportunity to go through more of the jewelry and turquoise stones that came out of our uncle’s silver shop. It has been quite the treasure hunt! We had an exciting summer with all the jewelry competitions and buying trips. The Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff hosts the annual Zuni, Hopi and Navajo shows and New Mexico hosts the Gallup Ceremonial and the Santa Fe Indian Market. First up was the Zuni show where we picked up a great inlay coral necklace and earring set from Patty and Raylan Edaakie as well as some of their earrings, link bracelets and pendants. Myron Panteah’s cousin Duran Gasper (who, along with his brother, did inlay work for Ray Tracy in the 80’s) took a second place award with a beautiful wide inlay bracelet. While we were unable to get that piece, we did meet up with Duran at his house in Zuni and purchased ten of his triangle shaped pendants. Ruddell and Nancy Laconsello and Harlan Coonsis made some more of their wonderful inlayed jewelry with bird motifs. At this writing we plan several more buying trips to Zuni before this show series which will give you a great selection of inlay and needle point jewelry. For fans of older collectible pieces we obtained a collection of several 1980’s needle point pieces in turquoise and in coral by Bryant Waatsa, Lorraine Waatsa, and Ray and Eva Wyaco. Next up was the Hopi show where we met up with Gerald Lomaventema and his wife Yvette Talaswaima who specializes in handmade Hopi style chain. Her work is top-notch! Gerald introduced us to a couple of new Hopi artists whose work we hope to carry in the future. Also, Gerald is going to be teaching a class on the older style of Hopi jewelry making and we are very excited to get some of this style of jewelry. At The Navajo show in August we made a new contact with up and coming artists Mark Roanhorse Crawford and Alethia Lynn Crawford whose cutting-edge modern designs echo those of Ric Charlie and Michael Roanhorse, with whom they trained. While most of their works sold at the show we were able to get some beautiful earrings and an outstanding contemporary style bracelet. We’ll be in touch with them after Santa Fe Indian Market to see about obtaining more pieces. Fortunately for us, they live close by. In addition to the shows, buying trips to Gallup, Zuni and Albuquerque over the summer brought lots of colorful new jewelry from the Santo Domingo, Navajo and Zuni artists. Orange, red and purple spiny oyster shell continues to dominate this season as well as lapis, Sugilite, charoite, Larimar and coral. Of course there is the star of the show - turquoise, of which we’ll have plenty - in all its beautiful, rich colors from green to blue and the very light blue Dry Creek. You may have noticed the fashion industry has brought turquoise to the forefront once again, but of course we know that turquoise never goes out of style! With the continued cleaning out of our uncles silver shop, we uncovered some neat older pieces of jewelry, some of which needed only a cleaning or a slight bit of repair or the replacement of a broken stone. We also happened to find some more turquoise which we will be slowly getting out to some of the artists like Alton Bedonie, Kee Yazzie, Mary Tom, Bruce Hodgins and Nelson Begay. Kee Yazzie has already made us an outstanding bracelet with a piece of super dark red high grade coral. Alton made a beautiful and very heavy Tom Jim-style Lapis belt buckle, four very heavy link style sterling silver bracelets (a new style from him) and a stunning wide bracelet set with a 26ct Bisbee stone. Another outstanding work of art we obtained on one of our trips to Gallup was an all sterling silver eagle dancer bolo tie from the legendary artist Alvin Vandever (you can see it on our Facebook page). This three dimensional sculpture was created completely from sheet silver – it’s amazing! POTTERY Pottery has been a trademark of the American Puebloan Indians for centuries. They have passed down styles, techniques and knowledge from one generation to the next, always honoring the past yet exploring ways to create something new with clay. Now that summer is over we’ll see a wonderful selection of works by artists who competed in the annual Santa Fe Indian Market. Our selection has a nice mixture of both historic as well as contemporary with many pieces starting at affordable prices and ranging up from there. Pottery is a great choice for your home decorating, collecting or gift-giving. Whether you want a molded or hand coiled piece, we have something that’s sure to please, and fit your budget. SCULPTURES & Kachinas The Soyoko (Ogre) ceremony takes place during the Powamu, which is a collection of important Hopi events conducted in February. The Soyoko is an educational ceremony whose purpose is to teach the valuable life lesson to Hopi children that working and not misbehaving will prevent unpleasant complications later on. If the child completes their chores the ogres will not pay them a visit, but if they fail to follow directions then the Soyoko threaten to eat the young person. To prevent this, parents will offer food and beverages to the Ogres during the ceremony in return for the sparing of the child. The ceremony continues through more stages and culminates with the whole village feasting on all the food and beverages that were paid in lieu of having the children taken by ogres. In addition to a very nice selection of kachinas (including a very nice Hilili carving from Laurence Dallas) in a variety of sizes, we also have some great alabaster carvings. SANdPAINTINGS, RUGS & ART Navajo Rugs Typically, summer time is the hardest for rug-buying as most of the weavers sell their rugs at shows and competitions while trading posts sell to tourists during the height of tourist season, or consign to the national parks shops. Despite this challenge, we will still managed a very nice selection of smaller to medium sized Navajo weavings from our buying trips to Teec Nos Pos, Shiprock and Farmington. Sandpaintings Navajo sand paintings always make a lovely gift or decoration, so we have a large selection of them (each piece has been matted and framed by the artist) as well as the very popular sandpainting boxes (think gifts!). To learn more about sandpainting, visit our website at www.americana.net and click on the “articles” link. In the “browse articles by category” select “painting & sandpainting” from the menu. Scroll to bottom of page for article: “Legends in Sand: The Evolution of the Modern Navajo Sandpainting”. It gives a fascinating history of sandpainting from its primitive beginnings to modern day use in ceremony and art. See you at the show! Eric
