The most common word used is Yay- te- hey. But it doesn't sound anything like it is spelled. It means "hello". The Navajo language has only been written since WW1 and even then it was written by other people than Navajos so the written word sounds like how other people hear it not how Navajos actually say it. Most Navajos I know cannot read Navajo. I can't either but that 1 word you see alot so I know how to spell it! Ann

Hi, Debbie! A bunch of your friends just joined! How wonderful! Thanks for sending them here. And, such a multi-cultural group, exactly what we need here. The more people get involved, the more fun, interesting and dynamic our group will be, so it's really meaningful to me when other people (besides myself) take the ball and run with it here.

I am off to a workshop at Nancy Crow's Timber Barn next week. I am studying with Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan. I am very excited!
I know I will find enormous inspiration. I also love meeting other artists.
I will report my findings here when I return.

Oooooo! Love what you did to the page!

Welcome to Fiber Focus! It's exciting to see this grow so quickly! You can now personalize your page (several templates available that you can tweak), load photos (takes patience!), add videos, music and participate in the forums. There are some helpful tips under "Notes" on the front page.

This group is pretty informal. Our common ground is fiber, but we can have fun with it (as long as it is respectful of all the diversity here). Please feel free to invite your friends, too.

I'm also always looking for articles from guest artists for the blog, too, so if you like to write, let me know!

Free Vintage Paper Doll Pattern



Karen's Whimsey has this free Paper Doll pattern on her website.  Clothing for the doll also available.  Images are in the public domain.


American Folk Art Doll Pattern



This doll pattern and other folk patterns can be purchased at Cloth Doll Supply.  Their description:

HISTORICAL FOLK DOLL #11
The New York Doll

This 16" doll has made herself quite famous by being chosen to be on the cover of a well-known book of American Folk Dolls, by Wendy Lavitt. She is such a good doll for a cover as she has just about all the best details of this type of doll. Separate fingers, a wonderful and exaggerated face and hair all carefully embroidered, including her remarkable feather-stitched eyebrows, and a costume of just-right simplicity and detail. She has with her the same small cat the doll in the photo has. Silkscreened for embroidery and new antiquing methods included.
Pattern (mini-kit) #PGW725 - $42.00

#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)

A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.

Moccasins and Leather Craft Patterns


HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme

The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.
