Elsie Morgan wove this beautiful vegetal and aniline dye rug with natural white and grey wool. The pattern is basically one associated with Wide Ruins, though the pink makes one think of the Nazlini pattern, which tends to be less intricate than this. 46 X 29 inches. $1100.00

This pattern is known as a Coal Mine Mesa Raised Outline. It was the last true reigonal style to develop (ca 1950). It's unusual to see one with figureative elements. 50x33, $1275

Twill weave saddleblankets were once a fixture in Navajo weavings. These days they're pretty hard to find. This one, woven of handspun woll and all natural wool colors is from the 1960's. It measures 29x30", a size commonly referred to as a single saddle blanket. $185.

Some of the finest vegetal dye Navajo textiles come out of the area between Wide Ruins and Klagetoh. This one is woven by one of the most famous weavers from that area, Marjorie Spencer. A very nice tight weave, it measures 28x41". $1,800

Barbara Teller Ornelas and her sister weave the finest tapestries period. A list of their awards and honors and recognitions would fill this page. We are so fortunate to have just acquired one of Barbara's tour-de-force textiles. This tapestry, based upon a First Phase Chief's blanket pattern measures just under 15 by 20 inches. There are 14 warp thread per inch. As for the number of weft threads per inch....I used my optivisors with the drop down magnifier and I still had trouble counting them. I will absolutely guarantee that there are at least 90 weft threads per inch; and it could be just over 100. Incredible work from a lovely weaver who loves her work, for whom weaving is not a job, but part of her life. The colors on this textile were almost impossible for me to render accurately in a larger image, so I have include a close-up (inset) that is more faithful to the deep black and the rich-midnight-sky-blue-verging-into-a-hint-of-purple. The fine red lines bordering the white are almost like dawn breaking through the blanket of the night's thunderstorm. $2500.

< This interesting landscape was done by Tabitha Bitah. We have a photo of her and her young son, holding the finished textile. 26.5 by 29 inches. $1100.

There have always been Navajo men who wove, but they have always been few and far between. This one was woven by Marlowe Ketoney, a young Navajo man who watched his grandmother weave but learned the techniques from an aunt. This butterfly pictorial is his most recent, measuring 24.5 by 32 inches. $550. >
