I recently had the honor of creating a bow guard for a Navajo warrior who is currently going through Army Ranger training. She is an inspiration to say the least! She, along with her husband, have dedicated their lives to help protect and defend our homeland 👊🏼 #jacobdmorgan #navajo #newmexico #ketoh #bowguard #bisbeeturquoise (at Rio Rancho, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clq34C-OXnR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back home resting after spending two wonderful days participating in the 100th annual Santa Fe Indian Market. Whew, just the thought alone of taking part in the greatest Indigenous art market’s centennial gives me the chills. The list of ‘thank you’s’ is quite extensive, not only to the patrons but the volunteers and members of SWAIA who put endless hours into herding cats(artists) and putting on a beautiful show year after year! Thank you all so much for setting the stage for us to showcase our art and to the patrons, colleagues, family and friends for the continued support, this really wouldn’t be possible without your collective contribution 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (at Santa Fe Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chi3QYEu7a7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Metal technique: repoussé. The term gets used loosely. It’s like telling someone you ran 3 miles when in reality you walked and jogged 2.5 of it 😛 When I hear it, I think of relief work without the aid of matching dies.
