This was my favorite piece to work on. Recently someone asked me the price to commision one, but with the current price of gold and silver it is not practical.

Customers regularly contact me to ask if a ring I made for them 30 years ago can be re-engraved. How many products do you buy that last three decades?

Today was my late grandmother Ellen Neel’s birthday.

She did a lot increase the awareness and appreciation of our traditional culture. Among her accomplishments she was known as the first woman carver, and the first N.W.C. Native artist to use silk screen printing. She returned the Sky World much too young— just 49 years old.
