Native American Arts and Crafts

One of the things I like to do when visiting the southwest is to see what Native American crafts are for sale. You can easily find authentic vendors selling these items outdoors at tourist locations and sometimes in remote areas along the highway. In this instance, the lady who crafted these items was at the table assembling necklaces as her daughter was attending to us. I ended up buying a horse hair clay vase as a gift for my mom. Last time I traveled to the southwest, I bought my mom a small pot from Taos Pueblo so I thought that a vase would go well with it in her house.

    I always like to support these talented artisans when I visit the southwest. And as we’ve taken so much from them over the years I think it’s good karma to give something back.

    I agree Russ. I’m glad that they’re able to share their arts with the world and that people are appreciative of it.
