A Christmas tree with handpainted Native American design ornaments seems only fitting for our Indian Summer office.....I love our new ornaments we have for it this year! The tree is covered in handpainted ornaments that were made for us by Rachel Harrison, a Laguna Pueblo artist and potter. You can see how talented she is with her fine line designs that do resemble pueblo pottery! There are dozens of them...some with fetishes, others have drums....there are shields, and feathers, and geometric designs....Yei figures, chile ristras, pueblo scenes and more! Pretty stars with silver bezel and turquoise stones catch the soft glow of the lights and create prisms on the tree! It is a wonderful tree, that is just right for Indian Summer! I love decorating with the Southwest art...it is just a way of life here in our home and office...a way of life that I really treasure and enjoy! We have lots more trees and rooms to decorate.....all with different themes, mainly Native American...but of course!!! ~LOL~ Hope you are all having fun with your decorating as well! We would enjoy any picture shares!
