Navajo sterling/turquoise Bic lighter case, 1970's-80's with Hopi Kachina doll figure, signed on base~ this thing is nuts in a Folkjokeopus kinda way, so carefully put together- in house relatives here and here.

Wizardy candlestick made from three bent & welded cattle brands, an oldee'...I love this thing for it's sculptural form and intersections, giving me the early David Smith's.

*You have to be careful with this kind of shit, and I try to be, try to reign myself in before I start being that guy who has old wooden farm implements hanging from the walls, curtains made from grain sacks and Gone Fishin' signs in the lou...but a little farm-core is ok.

Hand painted bowl, Mexico (Oaxoca?), mid century...in house relatives (and favorites) here.

~all found this morning on the way to the chicken farm.

Clarice Cliff-pre memphis graphic madness...at local antique fair.

Charmed Circle

Beatrice Wood's copy of Charmed Circle=perfect triangle.

Loot from outta town flea-late 1950's Navajo pillow top with poly back, still with original tag from Teec Nos Pas Trading Post, kinda krazy colors in this Yei Bi Chei but the scale and irregular graphic elements are neat....in house relative here. Basket with dyed weave-not sure of origins/age to this piece, the seller is from seattle and sources his items there...keying into the house textiles however.
