| Our
Native American Craftsman Dana
Dana
is Pima Indian and he works in an old style to design leather
pouches from ancient designs he has researched in museums. Every
pouch is designed, hand sewn & beaded by Dana. He says he
makes each piece as if he were making it for himself.
Occasionally
his styles change or the bead colors are different than shown.
Please inquire if there is something special you are looking for.
Dana
likes to spend his time tromping in the woods looking for rocks
and fossils. He tumbles a variety of petrified wood and local
agates and jaspers to sell in our store.
He
also does lapidary work and demonstrates the making of stone beads
on a grinding wheel ...a technique he learned from "African
John" several years ago. One of the materials he makes beads
from are fossils called Crinoids. Some of these pieces are used
in making jewelry and some are available for purchase.
We
also stock a variety of rocks and crystals from around the world
in our store.
Dana
loves to talk about his culture and about rock hunting - stop
by to visit if you're in the area!
