2/22 - Third posting of New Zuni Fetishes @ Zunispirits.com

It's still winter in Texas!

Deer in the snow!

This picture was taken less than two weeks ago when we received a record 6" here at our house. Tonight we're expecting another 4". I know that seems like nothing to most of the country who has been inundated with FEET of snow, but for Texas to have two heavy snowfalls in one year is pretty strange! We might have to invest in a snow blower before next winter!

Last time, the snow impacted our satellite internet service so just in case that happens again, I am alerting you now to new Zuni fetishes which will be posted later tonight. Place your orders via email as usual. IF OUR SERVICE GOES OUT .. you will NOT hear from us for perhaps a day or so. No orders will ship until Thurs. or Fri. of this week since we're entertaining family for a few days. But we WILL respond to orders as they come in as long as our satellite stays alive in the snow. Please be patient with us. After all, we have snow men to build and snow angels to make!

Here are the new guys coming up. The links will NOT work until this evening, Monday, 2/22, no later than 10 PM central time. Thanks!

OUR BOOK

Email your book order at this link.

We have both hardbound and softcover editions of our book (published in late 2008) available.

The book is 160, 8 x 10", full color pages and features some of the most beautiful Zuni fetishes to pass through Zunispirits.com in our ten years of representing Zuni artisans. With a foreward by Governor Norman Cooeyate, our book is a visual feast for those passionate about Zuni fetishes!

Here are some recent reviews:/p>Here are some recent reviews:

"Longtime art dealers and art lovers David Austin Riggs and Darlene Meader Riggs take the reader on a loving journey into the artistry of Zuni fetish carvings. More than 300 lush photographs are accompanied by expert explanations of these tiny treasures. Whether you collect fetish carvings or just love them from afar, this book will provide much enjoyment. A must-have for the serious collector!"
NATIVE PEOPLES MAGAZINE, Nov/Dec, 2009

"The outstanding contribution of ZUNI SPIRITS is the larger than life size of the photos. Fetishes are hard to capture because they are small, shiny and depth of field is necessary to show detail. This book has full page photographs of many of the pieces. It also shows many fetishes from several angles, something nobody has done before."
GALLUP JOURNEY, January, 2010

Available signed or unsigned in either a hardcover edition (ships to US addresses for $107.) of a soft-cover edition (ships domestically for $73.00). If you would like to order either book, just email us. Thanks!

And to those of you who have purchased a copy of the book, we invite your feedback at this link. Please let us know what you think about ZUNI SPIRITS: A Portfolio of Fine Zuni Fetish Carvings.

If you're curious about the day-to-day happenings of our life here in the woods of East Texas, you might enjoy Darlene's hermit photo-journal. We find inordinate joy in caterpillar whiskers, the beauty of decayed wood and the flight patterns of dragonflies. And don't even get us started on the personalities of our hens! Seriously. Perhaps we should get out more but life here in DRH is just so danged entertaining! Come and see us in Dirt Road Heaven.
