On our drive to Bryce Canyon, Uyah, we stopped at one of the many Infian market booths set up alongside of the road.
Here we met Elaine (top left) and two other ladies who make a lot of the crafts at this booth. Elaine is of the Navajo tribe and was indeed very beautiful. She told me of the materials used in her jewelry, how they give back to their spirits at different times and a bit of her family and culture. She was open and humble and truly a treasure to meet.
My favorite piece of pottery was the one behind Elaine in the far right top shelf. Truly a stunning piece. If I had a house here and didn't have to worry about transportation I definitely would've got it ;) sadly, one has to remember to pack light and stay light and even that is difficult a lot of the time when you see these pieces of art and the deals to be had in America.
Top right is a painted skull. Bottom left is the Navajo market - well part of it. Bottom right is the American flag with an Indian rider on it.
