Zuni Fetish Carvers
Zuni Fetish carver Eddington Hannaweeke. I would have to list Eddington right up at the top of one of our favorite carvers to work with! His carvings are full of personality, as is Eddington! His Bolo tie bears absolutely will make you smile! Check out the progress report in photos below that he sent us daily on how our most recent order from him of the cuties came to be!
Getting daily progress reports is really fun! Eddington made a point to share how this family of bears he was making for us was coming along....a Mama and Papa Bear and ten cubs! From start to finish...from getting his silver and stones for the adorable mini bolos and squash blossom for Mama. We saw them rough, polished, "naked" and dressed with their "bling!" A joy to work with, and you can really feel the love he puts into each of his carvings!
Rosella Soseeah
Rosella and husband Loubert Soseeah are well known prolific carvers known for their clean stylized carvings. Their Mountain Lions are a favorite among collectors. In addition to being well known for her beautiful carvings, Rosella is famous for her homemade pies which are in demand at Zuni! Wish we lived closer to get both her carvings and her mouth watering pies.
