Many times you see Navajos up in the mountains collecting long lodge pole pines for their teepees. No they do not live in them, but use them for pow wows and festivals. Often we'll see the poles stashed in a grove of evergreens, ready for camping or hunting season, when they will just bring up the canvas. I can't say I have ever seen a Navajo drive a classic old truck, mostly they are in minivans!
Wow! Really nice composition! Great colors too!

ReplyDeleteVery well done! I'm always so amazed with what you do with fabric. I especially am impressed with how you have done their blankets.
ReplyDeleteI love this one, Julia. Mostly because of my affinity with the Navajo nation, and because your interpretations in fabric are so fantastic. You not only capture detail but emotion as well.
ReplyDeleteSeeing the poles stashed along the paths must be such a special encounter. To know that someone will make a shelter from things carefully stored away has a certain magic in it.
Thanks for the visit to my blog!
Sweet! Love your work!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm surprised to find someone else who uses fabric and stitching! Good job on blanket, but I also love the Polar bear on Stitch -- that probably my favorite because I like the twinkley stars in the sky.
ReplyDeleteYour work is nothing short of fantastic!!!!
