About Our Artisans

Kaline: Kaline’s artistry in silver, wood, and leather is a blending of her mother’s G’wichinogan heritage, her father’s Castilian family influences, and her years of living and working on their homesteaded ranches of the Southwest.		Silver and Jade Bracelet from spoon handles!
Tulip-shaped Candle Holders from silver spoons and forks	Her unique jewelry is ingeniously crafted from either sterling silver or from heirloom silver nickel tableware – teaspoons, cocktail forks, sugar spoons, pie servers, and other silverware – brilliantly combined with beautiful gemstones into breathtaking wearable art. Crystals she has mined personally, and other stones have been cut individually by the artisan to fit the piece. Kaline is happy to create custom pieces for you from your own family heirloom silver!
Kaline’s leather items are meticulously handmade of the finest materials for rugged day-after-day use, whether by the working cowboy or for daily use around town, on vacation, or in the backwoods (see Small Leather Survival Pack, right).		Belt-carry Leather Survival Pack

Custom orders: Custom Southwestern and equine-themed sets of bracelets, rings, belt buckles, necklaces, conchos, tie sliders, hat bands, bridle bands and horse regalia can also be created to your specifications.

Small Leather Medicine Pouch Necklace	Lyn: Lyn’s craftwork is inspired by her French Canadian Cherokee Metis heritage and her love of Nature. Most of the materials she uses she has gathered from Nature herself. We lovingly call Lyn “Singing Crystal Woman” because the crystals seem to sing as they jump into her hands, and because her magickal singing voice is so crystal clear. Watch for Lyn’s music coming soon to this website!
Tina: Tina’s beadwork is handstrung, one tiny bead at a time into spectacular sparkling wonders. Her ability is a gift from her Choctaw heritage. All Tina’s pieces are one-of-a-kind and will not be duplicated. Definite collectors’ items.		Beaded Tapestry Necklace
