BEADWORK
I am so thrilled to know that another beader won Best of Show
at Indian Market this year! For too many years beadwork has not
been considered "fine art" and this proves it is once
again.
Dallin Maybee's book with beaded buckskin won Indian
Market 2007 Best of Show An anticle from the Santa
Fe New Mexican newspaper. A small
photo of the book is on this blog.

Look above the photo of Dallin Maybee and you'll see a thumbnail
in the center. Click

Please let me know what you think about the size of the type
on this newsletter. Vote for too big, too small or if you think
it's just right vote for Goldilocks. Ignore the top that says
"Name my new book." Someone had a little blonde moment
and didn't remove the line. Must have been my evil twin, Lucretia.
