Updates! Spider Rock Girls Back to School Sale

posted in It's All About the Rugs |

Spider Rock Girl Alyssa Malone (7) shows new weaver Aurora Casta some of the finer points of the use of the weaving fork.

Tempe, AZ The Spider Rock Girls Back to School Sale was a big success, with Lavera Blake selling her large Burntwater Double Diamond rug on Ebay at the asking price and the other girls selling some smaller pieces in various patterns on Ebay and directly to clients.  Lavera passed her Certified Nursing Assistant examination and has enrolled in the registered nursing program at the College of Eastern Utah, San Juan campus, in Blanding, Utah.  Laramie is a senior at Chinle High School and Alyssa is entering second grade.   They’re getting on the school bus at 6:45 in the morning, leaving mom Emily and older sister Larissa at home weaving each day.   Larissa, by the way, won a second place ribbon at the 88th Gallup Inter-tribal Ceremonial with the larger Spider Rock rug that she currently has on Ebay (you can see it in the picture below).

The girls have two other  rugs on Ebay this week, and they are busily preparing for the Friends of Hubbell Native Arts Auction on September, 19th.   As usual, they’ll be manning their popular food booth during the auction.  Would you like a rug with that hot dog?

    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
