Of course I miss Jim, Stracci, but for me he’s not really gone. We hang out in dreams. Spend hours together at times, even have adventures. Don’t really know how to describe it, but in that space, our time together is very real.

We were on a family vacation in Arizona for two weeks in mid-August, then got busy with work and our new horse after we returned. As expected, got to see a ton of Native jewelry, art, and all of the magnificent landscape to go with it. Can’t beat the American Southwest. Thanks for asking, Mike!

Good to have you back! I imagine you had an amazing trip (how could you not :grin:). And a new horse, how fun!!

You know if you bought any cool jewelry it’s a rule that we must see it :laughing::joy:

It is wonderful that through this group James’ work is appreciated! Certainly a tribute to him…he sounds like a great person (and brother) in addition to his talent as a jeweler. I really like the Avanyu pin; and that cuff is fabulous. I see the Avanyu used a lot in Native American pottery not so much in jewelry. It’s wonderful you continue to have that closeness with him @mmrogers. Glad to know about him a bit!

Thank you. It’s like I can view somethings but ebay wouldn’t load at the campsite.

This is a photo of James snapped aboard his Sailboat shortly before he passed. Jim loved to sail, and got out there at every possible opportunity.

It is a beautiful bracelet and goes with the petroglyph theme from the other thread.

Thank you for sharing your memories of James. I hope the buyer of the necklace will appreciate it as much as we did finding out about it and his other items.

Thanks @mmrogers; wonderful picture. He looks so happy, I also think I’m seeing more than a bit of humor in his smile. He must have been a fun brother; thanks again for sharing him with us.
