Gifts from Taos

I am still cleaning the studio and just needing a little break. So I thought I would show some of the treasures I got while in Taos.

















First there are the animals. This turtle I found at the Taos Pueblo and it is horsehair pottery.


















This was a pin I found at Bandelier National Monument. Its very colorful and a turtle to boot. I couldn't resist.


















Then there were the papers I found in Taos. I really like both of these.


















Then there was the jewelry.






















I found these at the Taos Pueblo.


















These were my reward for meeting my comfort challenge at the retreat. The symbol stands for Emergence. It seemed so appropriate.

















I found these last, the stone is an amethyst. I found these while buying a gift for a friend.

















Then the yarn....














This looks better in person, the colors are clearer.

















I decided on this for a pair of turquoise socks to remind me of my trip.


















and then the fabric... Its a group of celestial prints, I am not sure what I will do with them but they looked so inviting.























And last but not least, my new Raven buddy. He has a button to make him talk. He makes wonderful raven caw sounds.
