Natrive Art Show (Cedar Tree Day, 13th of Frost, Year 231)

I went to the Native Art Show at the National Museum of the American Indian today, and bought some things.

And this seriagraph by Peter Boome that I have been eying for several years.

There was an Aleut basket-maker whose pieces were gorgeous, but the moment they said their pieces were made of baleen I knew even the miniatures were way out of my price range -- Don Johnston.

Eugene Tapahe was back with his absolutely stunning photograpy -- Tapahe Photography

Last, Porfirio Gutierrez returned with Zapotec natural dyed rugs -- I have a miniature from him, but it will be a while before I can afford a full sized piece.

The only things that weren't there that I was hoping to see was someone doing quillwork and someone with wampum jewelry -- the NYC show had a jeweler with wampum.
