Fetishes

Welcome to my Fetishes page. At this time you will see the fetishes that I have carved in the past. This is something that I will be doing more of in the future, but am unable to continue with at this time due to the fact that I am pregnant and prefer to not risk the health of the baby by carving stone. The dust created by this craft can be dangerous to breathe even while wearing a respirator. Right now my main focus is on creating my bags.

I have truly enjoyed doing the carvings and have a good stock of stone to work with when the proper time comes. When I do resume carving, the fetishes will be available on a very limited basis, as they do take much greater time to complete than the bags. Maybe as I gather more industrial strength equipment, they will not take as long to create.

Thank you for understanding my reason for having no fetishes available at this time. I will however have links to my favorite Zuni & Navajo fetish sites on my Links page where you may view and purchase some very beautiful fetishes. Ebay also has a great selection of fetishes available. Just do a word search by entering the words "Zuni fetish" or "Navajo fetish", and to get a more precise listing of auctions you may also add in the particular type of animal that you are looking for, such as "bear, mountain lion, wolf, eagle, badger, mole, horse, etc..."
