This is me and Wintu.
Wintu is named after a lost tribe that knew and saw all.
Wintu just received a new coat. He is a typical gutsy Chihuahua and of course my spoiled and devoted friend.
I have done leather work for more years then I have fingers and toes. My work has progressed from carving and tooling leather to native crafts.
I love my work and love to create new things.
My favourite items are the drums, masks, and dance sticks. I am currently working on designing a web page consisting of one of a kind items. I hope to have it finished by spring.

ONE WORLD ONE COUNTRY ONE PEOPLE

We live in one world, one country, and I see us as one people. So why the restrictions of borders and extremes of wealth and poverty. Now I might come from a perspective of being somewhat naive or keep it simple stupid, but it seems to me the world is unbalanced.

Wars, crime, drugs, greed, carelessness, abound. Could it just be a journey in time? Will we ever get it straight? Is there any hope? How much catastrophe does a human being have to endure before we get our priorities straight. What can we do? How can we actively contribute to a new world order. Would one currency be beneficial, or one government, or one language?

HEARTBEAT OF MOTHER EARTH

The Drum is a vehicle to connect with one's higher self and Mother Earth.


The creation of a drum has and is a journey of spiritual significance to me. Each drum that is created has it's own voice. If this interests you contact me through my email.

This particular hand painted drum design refers to People of Eight Seasons. Known as the Laplanders.
