African village

Thomas invited me to do a book signing at the show, and then Robert Liu also joined in the fun by signing his latest photography book. It was a great afternoon!

Kate and Karen picking Thomas' best beads
Jamey showing Dee more about Pumtek beads.

Got some ancient glass beads from a dealer from Luxor. Apparently, he dug them out himself.
I know one is a (badly degraded) morfia, but any info on the others are welcome.

Big Indian furnace wound beads.

A bracelet by Kevin o'Grady and metal pieces from Robert Burkett.

Strangely enough, when walking along the path next to the river bed, we came across interesting old glass. A piece of transparant glass that had turned violet where it was not covered by the soil from the sun light. And also several pieces of uranium glass which lights up under blacklight. Not something you expect to see every day.

We walked up the 'A mountain' or Sentinel peak. It was a fun thing to do. And those cacti get big!

Hope the book signing was a success.

Always a delight to view the photos and read the stories. The fun is more contagious than the viruses! Hope everyone is feeling better!

Thank you for sharing images of the buyers and sellers in Tucson? Anyone have more photos to share?
