Juniper, Canyon de Chelly.

Juniper Seed and Bead Necklaces by Betty Nez and family

Juniper trees grow throughout the high mesa country of the southwest and their roots go deep on Black Mesa. The Dine' use their needles and bark for wool dyes and medicines and collect the seeds to string with beads of all colors in lovely, lightweight necklaces and bracelets that feel good to wear and are meant for good luck. Currently, all are sold; none in stock.



17 BEADED HAIRTIES/BARRETTE PAIRS from Kim Nez, Betty Nez's daughter:


Buoyant, cheerful, and impeccably made, these pairs of inexpensive beaded hairties/barrettes with sturdy clips will brighten up any hairstyle. Each is 4.5 in. long (without the clips)--some with birds, one with "smiley faces," one with hearts, two with butterflies, and all ending in graceful silvertone feathers. $12/pair ($8 to maker; $4 to general fund). All scanned in directly, so please ignore the glare off the clips.
