“The Santa Fe Indian Market is a 92-year-old Native art market. It is the largest and most prestigious Native arts market in the world and the largest cultural event in the southwest. The yearly event is held during the third weekend of August. Over 1,100 Native artists from the U.S. and Canada sell their artwork. The Indian Market attracts 150,000 visitors to Santa Fe from all over the world. Buyers, collectors and gallery owners come to Indian Market to take advantage of the opportunity to buy directly from the artists. For many visitors, this is a rare opportunity to meet the artists and learn about contemporary Indian arts and cultures. Quality and authenticity are the hallmarks of the Santa Fe Indian Market.”
Here is a video of last year’s activities and performances:
This sweet little slider pendant has a silver body with a copper top that is hand-carved and is coated with red enamel. Variations in color and texture on the enamel are due to the hand-crafted process of the piece. Classic Native American technique with a contemporary design.
This was a fun piece to make, and I will be experimenting with more designs and colors in the future!
Approximately one inch diameter, 1/4 inch deep. Signed on the back. One-of-a-kind. Hollow form, shadowbox.
Brushed Silver Shadowbox Pendant with Vine Carving
This brushed silver hollow form pendant with hand-carved vine has a clean modern shape with organic line. The opening of the shadowbox reveals the hollow form structure of the piece as well as shows the process in which it hangs.
Entirely hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind. Approximately two inches long by half an inch wide by one quarter inch deep. Signed on the back. Shown here with a 12-strand silver 16″ omega necklace.
Brushed Silver Shadowbox Pendant with Vine Carving
This necklace has seven hollow pieces of reticulated silver strung on a hand-woven chain of 500 individually fused links. The top two pieces fit together forming the clasp of the necklace.
The necklace measures 21 inches. The hollow forms are approximately 1/4 inch thick.
This is a juried show and one of the Southwest’s premier Indian-art markets.

Another one of my “Parent and Child” pieces, this necklace is comprised of two highly polished silver and copper shadowbox beads. The copper is reddened by heating to a very high temperature, and depending on the angle and the lighting, may look purplish maroon to a deep orange red.
The beads may be worn together, or separately, allowing for three different looks.
Signed on the back. Entirely hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind hollow form.
