Sorry about that. I didn't want to completely hijack that other thread. LOL
I love Navajo artistry. Especially the folk art. I do, however, absolutely hate Kachinas. We have butt loads of those too. All over the house. Just waiting. Plotting. Scheming. Planning my demise.

Can I post some more of my mothers artwork real quick? I just wanna show you guys these masks she makes out of found objects.....
its beautiful. in elementary school, we wove blankets on this huge loom.... they are more mexican looking than that, but yeah, seeing those blankets makes me miss nevada. lol the whole southwestern thing. im just curious, how does it work on a loom like that? because the patterns and everything look hard to make on that. I made a mini doll blanket on a hand loom, only patterns i could make were varying lines.
this makes me wanna start weaving again!
Please? :: puppy dog eyes ::
Well you saw the clothespin kachinas, here are the masks...I'm a bad photographer, excuse my poor photos, they really don't do them justice.

They all tell a story. You just have to know how to read it.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is an authentic Two Grey Hills. I sent an email to my uncle for confirmation and my cousin who owns a trading company in Farmington. Poor thing, it looks like it has sun damage. The vegetable dyes are fading but you can still see the beautiful design.![]()

i like the first one the most, i'm not sure why. it's not visually familiar, but something about it evokes smell memories from my childhood and makes me feel good.
