i’m gonna toss this in here as “artwork” but I know it’s not truly in keeping with the theme. however, I’m pretty sure i’ve seen some nail-art enthusiasts among our members and thought they, like me, have pondered attempting this at some point in our lives.

Martin Grelle, Bent’s Fort Encampment.

I know this man of the Plains isn’t adorned in turquoise, and while he is at Bent’s in Colorado, just north of New Mexico, my story is that he acquired his earrings from a Navajo on the Santa Fe Trail. :grin:

Susan Kliewer is no stranger to this thread, but I had to share this new sculpture of hers.

Her First Blanket

Little Vera was so proud to show me her first blanket that she had woven with her mother’s guidance and dad’s encouragement that I decided to buy it. She was so pleased when I gave her the money. After fifty years, I still own it, and I used it for this new sculpture. I hope she went on to become a great weaver, just like her mother. - Susan Kliewer

Art by Craig George (Diné). I’m keenly attracted to contemporary Native American paintings. @TAH posted a painting by this Native artist in 2024.

I’m amazed at how realistic that blanket appears.

That Ray Swanson artwork is incredible, I thought it was a great photo after I first saw it. Awesome talent, I will definitely remember that name!
