Robert Sorrell has been creating art for 50 years - printer, painter, sculptor and silversmith (and professor of art). Frequently he turns his attention to stereotypes - that he then turns on it’s head. This buckle is a classic example Made for a 1 1/4 inch belt, it measures 1 5/8 by 2 7/8 inches. $1100 (SANTA FE)

 


Fred and Della Cruz have been making these wonderful figurative baskets for a number of years. Using a foundation of bear grass wrapped with yucca (white and green) and devils claw (black), and utilizing their amazing imagination, they continually surprise us with the next whimsical creation. This one is clearly a Cowboy Squirrel! 6.5 inches tall. $160.
