Pow Wow

From a year ago

Really bad lately. Had to resort to pics from a year ago. More "cheating" to come as I either catch up or give up!

The graffiti on the rock

This one shows the graffiti on the rock a little clearer, although some is covered by the snow, as well as more detail, rather than a silhouette.

 

Update:
A few years after this, (11/2015 I believe), Jason and I were invited by our chief and other chiefs (chieves?) in the area as well as other people from our tribe. The graffiti had been cleaned off by state workers and we followed up with a cleansing of the land. 

A few years after that, Profile Rock crumbled. :(

Red Bead on a Feather - Jan. 19

Day*19

Cigarette Snuffers. About 1" diameter at the base.

Dream Catcher

Haven't been taking a lot of photos lately...this one was taken as I was testing out some settings on the camera, but it's a worthy shot I suppose. I made this dreamcatcher a long time ago when I learned how to do it. It's actually made with a grapevine from out back - that's why it isn't perfectly round. It didn't come out bad in my humble opinion (IMHO), although I never did finish it with beads or decorations.

265 ~ Only 100 more to go!

One of my first attempts at a dreamcatcher, hanging in the doorway of my living room.

Mourning the Trees - 3/27/2009

Feb 26

I made these necklaces for my friend and her son when they were visiting from Alabama. I ended up mailing them since I didn't see them again before they headed home. The ones I've made were not accessible so my father got out his supplies and helped me put these together.
When he sells them at powwows and flea markets, he packs them each with a feather and I liked the idea so we did that. He makes the wampum (pendants) too.

Extras - EOS Rebel G 35mm

Just a couple photos for the sake of showing them and to make up for a couple missed days so far. These are taken at various times with my "new-used" 35mm camera.

My car decorated for winter.

A little knick-knack I tend to photograph often for some reason

Sage and Cedar - Take Two ~ 1/24

The reason the previous post, while Jan 23 is typed in by me, is dated January 24th is because it was after midnight by the time I post processed and finally posted the entry.
On the same technicality I'm posting another photo from the same batch for January 24...ok, cheating. lol. And now I've still missed 1/25 because as I edit this, it's after midnight making it the 26th. Surely I'm making a bigger deal of the dates than they really are.
Today I went to WalMart and got some picture frames...one to frame a pic my friend sent me of herself and her daughter, and a couple more because they were a good price. I have been wanting for a long time to rip down the wallpaper in here, paint the walls a solid color, probably white, and hang framed photos around. Ooo, I know what my next photo's going to be. Then I went to Dick's Sporting Goods, looked at camping gear, canoes and bicycles. So much stuff I need, I really need to start playing the lottery. I was going to go to Circuit City next and see how the big clearance is going, but with no money I figured I'd depress myself. I'm already pissed off that they're closing - they're one of my favorite stores.

Sage and Cedar ~ January 23, 2000 and 9

At the end of a day, or any time really, when I need to relax, cleanse any negativity from myself or the room I'm in, or just feel like smelling it, I toss some sage and sometimes cedar into the "pot" and fire it up. Sometimes I feel a negativity in my bedroom and can't fall asleep, and burning some sage really helps...I fall asleep soon after making sure the "fire" is out.
I don't lean a feather on the side of the bowl. lol. That's just for the the picture. I do fan it with the feather but have you ever tried fanning a sage pot and taking a picture of it at the same time?
I grow my own sage and I gather the cedar from broken branches I find alongside the Cape Cod Canal.
