Bookwork

posted in Weavers and Their Stories |

For the last three years, Liz Munk, Jennie Slick and I have been working on a new instructional book on Navajo weaving.  We’ve completed sections on loom building, spinning and warping and drafted sections on weaving.  Right now, I’m working on pulling all of this work into book form, which is why I haven’t posted over the last week.  I’ll try to do better as I’m pulling the rest of the project together.  Our goal is have the book ready by the end of the year (yes, THIS year, 2008).

What we’re hoping to do is to build on the work done by Tiana Bighorse, Noel Bennett, Mary Pendleton and Caroline Spurgeon and we’ll be including multimedia resources with the book.  I’ll keep you posted on the project’s progress!

    Ya’at’eeh !!

    Have just purchased Navajo Weaving Way–(beautiful!)
    In it you mention working on a book to be called Weavers Notes—including stories etc. Am interested in this when you publish 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
