Update on Culturalpatina June 14, 2024 20:01

Good morning. An update. Given my fading health and repeated fraud to my online stores, Linda and I decided it was time to think seriously about down sizing my extensive global collections.

I started doing this with a third party late last year for all of my Navajo Weaving and Textile collection with good results. Yesterday a third party picked up my extensive Native American Pottery collection, to help me find good homes for these pieces that I aquired over a life time.

I have given myself a 3 year window to complete this so Linda does not have to worry about this after I pass away. We have now completed about one year of this plan, This will give me more time to focus on my remaining global collections going forward, which will now include my extensive security collection.

It breaks my heart to have to do this, but I have learned to let go of things and thank God for every new day. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I will conture to keep everyone posted going forward. Thank you all for being with me on this encredible journey over the last 11 years. I appreciate it very much.

Scam Alert, Scam Alert, Scam Alert, Scam Alert August 1, 2017 16:26

This is a scam alert. About a week back I had a customer by the name of Josh Benningnton at 42 E Greywing Cir, Spring, TX 77382) tell me he wanted to purchase one of my items on culturalpatina. He said he would be sending me a check for the purchase amount and the was going out of town and would let me know, after the check had cleared, how he wanted the delivery handled.

A day or so later he sends me an email telling me that he had arranged a storage company for me to send the item to and they would hold it until he got back in town. To make his out of town story believable, he even sent me a copy of his airline ticket routing showing name, aircraft and departure times along with ending locations.

Santa Clara Artist Jason Ebelacker Joins Culturalpatina on the East Coast to Show Case His Extraordinary Potter July 24, 2017 14:34

As noted in one of my recent blogs, I mentioned that we would have a new Native American Artist working with culturalpatina to offer some beautiful new traditional Santa Clara Pottery. His name is Jason Ebelacker and he makes absolutely beautiful pieces using traditional methods and designs.

Jason learned how to make pottery from his father (Richard Ebelacker) an award winning potter, Jason has followed his father's footsteps. Winning two first awards In the youth division at the Santa Fe Indian market before he turned eighteen . He takes a lot of his designs and shapes from the Tafoya family pottery . He believes in the traditional forms and methods of making and firing pottery . Five years ago (2012) he decided to become a full time potter . Since then he has won top awards at the Autry museum show in California, the Heard museum show in Arizona, and at the Santa Fe Indian market.

I have posted some snaps below of Jason actually making his pottery. From start to finish the larger pieces like we have at culturalpatina shown here take just about a week to make these extraordinary works of art. I hope you enjoy his work as much as I do. Thank you Jason for working with culturalpatina on the East Coast, we appreciate it very much. Jason will be at the upcoming Santa Fe Indian Market on August 19th and 20th so stop by and see his work if you plan on attending.
