Whiteclay Marketspace Stop # 70 pg # 31

This is another surprise place on the passport.  Inside were things we were totally surprised to find.  First off, we find Ledger Art.  Never heard of that but Cindy's holding an explanation in this photo.  To read it, you will have copy it and zoom in.

It's kind of a unique idea although since I'm not an artist, maybe it's common.  Anyway, the piece Cindy is holding is painted on a copy of a page from an OLD Dawes County Ledger book.

In a back room, the next surprise was a quilting machine.  A second one is behind me.  Cindy and I don't know anything about quilting, but I suppose anyone who sees this will immediately recognize it.

Moving on we next came across an art supply room and workshop.  Those light yellow sheets are leather and the tan ones underneath are soft leather.  Both are ready to use.  There are so many supplies in this room, I couldn't even begin to know what they're all used for.

There are also samples of art done by an indigenous artist.  I forget where he lives, might be Denver or Omaha.  Sorry, I didn't make a note of that.

This place is available for any of the area indigenous people to come and learn different skills, working with all manner materials.  Some make jewelry, some paint, some work with leather, some sew.  They're also in the process of installing a photo and video studio.  This is a fair distance from eastern NE, but I hope people take time to drive up and look around.
