artists richard zane smith pottery # 7574

this was a fun piece to create.
I call it simply "Crazy Arrow"
the piece of root i found along Spring River north of here,
the arrow points i made out of local chert,and the turkey wing fletching was from feathers given to me by tribal members of the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma .
The clay is native Oklahoma clay dug from a ranch in the Vinita area. The owners of the ranch are Cherokee and I'm so pleased
they so willingly share with me and even attending the prayers before the digging of clay starts.
and sometimes sharing a pipe of traditional tobacco.
