Cochineal dyed Ganodo red bag by Gilbert Begay

Tempe, AZ There are two new bags in the Mercantile as of this afternoon.  I purchased these at the Pueblo Grande auction last month, but haven’t had a chance to add them to the store until today.  One bag is by Emily Malone and it’s the first ever bag done in the Spider Rock design.  It’s priced at $250 because I had to do some big time bidding to get it.  Emily was thrilled when she heard how much attention it got at the auction.  I’m sure that she’ll be doing more of these, but having the first of it’s kind has a kind of cachet doesn’t it?

The second bag is by Gilbert Begay and is woven with hand-dyed (my hands) cochineal red yarn.  The yarn has a really nice aubrash (color variation) effect and of course, it’s beautifully woven.  Gilbert is a master weaver and has developed special techniques for the fringe he uses so that you can add beads and charms to the bag as well as pins.   This bag is priced at $150.

Please contact me if you’ve got questions on either of these pieces.  I do have other weavings for sale and I’m working on getting them added to the store as quickly as I can.  If there’s something that you’re particularly looking for, please let me know.   I might have it!

    Raymon: I have a blanket simialr to the pink blanket. My dad's family had sheep. Every year they would gather the wool and take it to Utah Woolen mills and make beautiful wool blankets. Similar to Pendleton blankets, in many different colors. Love the turquoise jewlrey. My mom has a big beaded bag of it that I hope I get a few peices of (she's half Native American) She finds it kind of amusing that Native American prints etc. are "in" right now.

    Remigio: Way to go, Navajo Nation! Either cease-and-desist, or collect roiaetyls for the use of your name (only on quality products of which you approve, of course). Same with sports teams that use Native names as mascots. Until recently, the University of North Dakota was paying the Standing Rock Sioux annual roiaetyls to use the name Fighting Sioux , which was a win-win and a source of pride for both parties. Unfortunately for both the Tribe and the university, political correctness put an end to that.

    Ann Puzio: Hi Mary, Need to change to the waiting list for 9/13-20th. I hope this is possible.Also, going to see if I can sign up for the online class, need to check my computer. Thanks ann
