Selling for Money?
Purchasing any one of my pieces isn’t any different from the traditional way of compensation. In previous generations, the buyer would supply the maker with a blanket, a horse, food, etc.—anything needed to maintain life. Today we use money, which we need to maintain life. As an artist, I consider it a great honor when someone purchases a piece. I was taught that none of the items I make are mine anyway. I am honored that the Great Spirit has allowed me to make this for you…
