Bessie Barber Mouse Pad
Price: $19.99
Publisher:
Fiberlok ()
Weaving of blankets and rugs by the Navajo people has a long history dating back over three centuries with weavers innovating with ever-changing designs. The new Burnham Style was developed by the Barber and Begay families of Burnham, New Mexico in the 1980s. Weavers use primarily the natural browns, whites, greys and blacks of sheep's wool, but with the distinctive inclusion of small areas of vibrant color.
Unique pictorial designs depicting Navajo ceremonial figures are carefully interspersed among the more traditional geometric designs.
This new, trademark family style is a testament to the continuously creative nature of Navajo weaving.

Spirit Quest Mouse Pad
Price: $19.99
Publisher:
Fiberlok ()
This, the Spirit Quest blanket by Pendleton, commemorates the ritual of young braves who would seek out their own destiny through a vision into the spirit world of their Creator. According to tribunal legend, as a young warrior developed his spirituality in his adolescence, he was sent alone on his Spirit Quest to a sacred, secluded place without food or water. He waited until the vision came to him - sometimes in the form of a human or of an animal. The vision was often etched onto rock at the place of the quest to record the experience.

Teec Nos Pas Mouse Pad
Price: $19.99
Publisher:
Fiberlok ()
No two Navajo rugs are exactly alike; however, with practice one can trace many rugs to their place of origin. This is possible because certain trading posts produce rugs of distinctive style, pattern and color. Perfect examples of such distinct styled rugs are those made at Teec Nos Pas.
Located near the common boundary point of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah, is Teec Nos Pas. Pronounced "Tees-Nahs-Pas" and meaning: Trees in a Circle in Navajo, takes its name from the cottonwood trees that grow around the water at the trading post's remote location. These rugs are the most distinctive of all the Navajo's specialized textile types because of their design complexity and abundance and variety of color. The Teec Nos Pas reserves its greatest appeal for the serious collector.
