Indian Arts and Crafts Spring Show

I spent today at the IACA spring wholesale trade show, which is the #1 trade show for sellers of fine American Indian Art. I was able to meet a few artists that I had never met before, like Navajo artists Harold Stevens, Ronnie Henry, Edison Cummings and Laguna artist Duane Maktima. I will be adding some of their jewelry to my website Tumbleweeds Jewelry soon. And of course I added some new pieces made by my all-time favorites, Orville Tsinnie, Shane Hendren, Tommy Jackson, Alfred Joe and Bruce Hodgins to my inventory as well. Photos to follow.

Anasazi Pottery Shard Jewelry

ANASAZI ANCIENTS
Where did they go? And why? We will never know. But what remains is their art. And this art takes on its highest form in their pottery.

Looking for something unusual for your Native American jewelry collection? How about this new Native American handmade jewelry that incorporates ancient prehistoric pot shards into the jewelry - bracelets, earrings and pendants - created by Randy, Etta & Randall Endito.

The pot shards incorporated into this jewelry are from private deeded property. These shards were found in Section Number 33, Township 12 North, Rnage 16 West NMPM McKinley County. They comply with the New Mexico and Arizona laws concerning the removal of antiquities. A certificate to this effect will be included with your purchase.

Etta Endito learned how to work with silver by assisting her mother after school. By the age of 18, Etta was working as a full-time silversmith. Today, she and her husband Randy and their son Randall work as a team to create elegant, contemporary, well-crafted jewelry. Etta's work has been featured in the Indian Craft Shop of The Department of the Interior in Washington D.C.
