Me too! It can get really confusing especially when an artist gets trained by different members of the family and one was Navajo and the other Zuni.
My LMB bracelet was the result of vegging out in front of old cowboy movies one Saturday morning. My husband pipes up and says “see the bracelet that woman is wearing- the woman cooking-you need one like that”. My reply was “no problem”.
Then fast forward a year or so and my Dad is telling me I need to come by and see a bolo that he brought home from the church silent auction because it didn’t sell. (He switched from ties to bolos years ago). When I finally got to his house after several days of trying, he pulled the bolo out and my mouth dropped open. It was a 3” cluster piece with cluster dangles on the tips. I ended up buying it over the phone from the church lady. Then when I got home I found out it has the same turquoise as the bracelet. Doesn’t get any better!
Earlier today, I was reading the article about the fetish necklaces. I have one single strand bird that I need to check. Those were some pretty necklaces and that was some good info Bigbree posted.
