Objects of Art Sante Fe; What We Learned Along the Way

And a good time was had by all….

In Santa Fe the show goes on!  While there were fewer attendees, they came to buy!  We got to see old friends and even made new ones.  Traveler’s Market has re-opened and is open for business.

 

A Good Exhibitor Turnout

This year, the show featured everything from contemporary to historic, antique to modern, with over 40 exhibitors on the Show Floor. The show also offered paintings, sculpture, and fine art of all kinds as well as jewelry and textiles. Tribal, folk, American Indian, African, and Ethnographic Asian art was on hand too and Tiger was there.

Moving On

While the show is over  you can still reach Tiger by  contacting  us whenever you like. We’re sorry if we missed you. There are more upcoming shows in September and you can always catch us there. Tiger is also affiliated with The Santa Fe Travelers Market.

Some recent additions to inventory are posted on Face Book.

Tiger made many stops along the way from Taos to Las Cruces visiting with new and long time shop owners. “It was really good to see some old friends again.”

Tiger highly recommends staying at some of the historic hotels should you be passing through that way. “They are truly extraordinary.”

The idea is that by hanging these flags in high places such as from the top of stupas and across mountain paths, the Wind Horse will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings.

What Are Tibetan dZi Beads All About?

Category | dZi Beads - OG Image

Mysterious Buddhist Beads: Few beads are surrounded by as much mystery and myth as the dZi bead (say ‘zee’). These etched agates are found in Tibet, Bhutan, Ladakh, and Nepal, and are believed to be about two thousand years old. Many legends accompany the beads- that they were not made by man but created by the gods (by lightning strikes, or sometimes, goats – I am not making this up), that they bring luck and ward off evil, that they protect the wearer from physical harm by taking the abuse upon themselves, and that the bead itself will choose its’ owner and will not stay with an unlucky person.

Vintage Glass Faceted Beads
– Works by Bruce St. John Maher

Article | Bruce St John Mayer - Featured Image

Bruce St. John Maher is a world renowned Artist and Master Craftsman known best for his Glass Faceted Beads. These stunning beads depict landscapes and forests mostly and have a 3D effect to them. The layered painting and kiln technique that he perfected is almost completely exclusive to his craft.

Very few artists have ever attempted to mimic his techniques until only recently. This is due in part to a booklet by Jim Kervin where Bruce outlines and reveals some of his secrets on how these magnificent beads are made. By using phosphorescent paints and creating the images on the glass, these pieces of glass are then joined together and fused in a kiln to create a single bead. The three dimensional effect this creates if phenomenal!
