Americana Indian Shows would like to thank all of you for making 2014 a success and for your support of Native American arts. We look forward to serving you in the new year! We kept busy this past holiday season with purchasing new inventory. A good number of artists came by with their jewelry to sell so they too could do their holiday shopping. During that time several trips were also made to Gallup and Zuni to restock. We’re headed your way with an outstanding and fully restocked inventory for you to choose from! There will be lots of great new jewelry as well as a nice selection from an extensive collection of jewelry which dates mostly from the 1990’s to 2010. Alton Bedonie made several trips to see us with new jewelry and as always delivered top-notch quality in his signature style. He created one of his magnificent heavy bracelets as well as some beautiful earrings and pendants. Included in his works were long-awaited pieces using purple Charoite which include a pendant and earring set and a gorgeous necklace. Alton is also working on some new men’s and women’ rings, earrings and two bolo ties which should be ready by the time this show series starts. We purchased two new necklaces from Mary Tom in an exciting new design incorporating red and purple spiny oyster shell. Jack Tom came by with four of his necklaces as well as one of his hard to get bolo ties (hopefully something he’ll continue!). We visited with Nelson Begay and his family at the beginning of the year when they stopped by on their way to the new year sales at the Flagstaff mall and got three of his bracelets, a gorgeous necklace with a large arrowhead-shaped centerpiece (in a gorgeous contemporary style), and a beautiful bolo tie with purple spiny oyster shell. He is currently working on some more rings size 9 through 10½ and finishing up one of his magnificent wide bracelets. We met with Sunshine Reeves and his wife while on their way to Sedona and purchased an awesome selection of Sunshine’s hand-stamped jewelry. He recently acquired some new stamps and we were in awe of the beautiful new designs he created with them. There are bracelets both wide (1½”) and narrow (5/8”) as well as a thick style which is stamped on all four sides and two great looking all-silver buckles and two bolos. It was also a privilege to see a gorgeous rug his wife had just completed. She is a very accomplished and multi-award winning weaver and artist in her own right. On one of the trips to Gallup we met with Steven Arviso and purchased some of his super cool bracelets. He calls his heavy wide bracelets the “optical illusion” style. This bracelet actually look like it is getting wider as you rotate it. A must see-it’s mesmerizing! While in Gallup, we obtained some great Zuni pieces including two beautiful pins by Ruddell and Nancy Laconsello as well as a magnificent pair of needle point earrings by Connie Seowtewa. In fact, we added lots of great new styles of Zuni jewelry this time! The artists from Stone Weaver have also been very busy and we have a nice new selection of their jewelry as well. As we go to press, there are still lots of artists to see before the series begins, including Myron Panteah, Alex Sanchez and Kee Yazzie. We look forward to seeing you and showing you all the beautiful new works! See you at the show! Eric POTTERY & Beads In addition to re-stocking our pottery inventory, we also acquired a nice selection of bead work from a collector in Virginia. This collection includes some newer as well as older pieces. For pottery, we have a very nice selection of horse hair pottery from Navajo and Acoma artists and our hand-coil inventory is very strong with exquisite pieces from award winning artists such as Maria Martinez, Sasha Red Starr, Glendora Daubs, Paula Estevan, Sandra Victorino, Denise Chevarria, Diane Lewis-Garcia, Marilyn Lewis Ray, Dena Suina, Calvin Analla Jr, Franklin Peters and many others. As always we have a great selection of impressive pottery for your home decorating, collecting or gift-giving. Whether you want a molded or hand coiled piece, we have something that’s sure to please, and fit your budget. SCULPTURE & KATSINAS Over the holidays we acquired some great new kachinas from a number of artists in northern Arizona. Lawrence Dallas crafted an interesting new scene that included a curved dwelling wall and two kachinas emerging from kivas, Raymond Chee carved an impressive U.S. cavalry Apache scout and a few smaller kachinas in the 4 to 8 inch size and Jeremy Lanza provided us with a very nice owl with an interesting base style to it (hard to describe - you have to see it!). The creativity of these carvings is just outstanding! There will be more coming in as the new year progresses. In alabaster, Marvin Toya carved some more small stone pieces including a charming owl, which prompted me to request more animal pieces from him as well that I hope to have soon. In all, we will have a large and varied new inventory when we head your way! Matt SANDPAINTINGS, RUGS & ART Navajo Rugs At the end of the summer I picked up some spectacular rugs from the Teec Nos Pos trading post so we have a great selection from this area for our holiday series. I will also be picking up rugs from Bill Malone in Gallup before we head your way and plan to have a nice selection of the smaller weavings as well, which are great to put on tables or use for display with pottery or kachinas. These smaller weavings also make great gifts. Another popular item is the Navajo pillow set made by Sally Arviso. We have requested more from her and are hoping to have at least two or three sets by show time. Sand paintings On our buying trips to the Ship Rock area we obtained several very nice and finely detailed sand paintings with excellent matting work. We also picked up a nice selection of smaller sand paintings, as well as some of the small boxes with sand-painted lids. These make great accent pieces (also a great place to store the TV remotes) and very nice gifts too. Eric HUGE SAVINGS
