So I’m starting to get ready for the Odawa Native Friendship Centre art auction for 2009. It will be coming up December 12.

This years theme is 7 Grandfathers – this is a teaching about wisdom, love, respect, bravery, honesty, humility and truth. I have some ideas for some new prints that will incorporate my “Chief” toy indian. I want the chief images to be about truth and respect – they will also be about identity.

I am hoping that I can come up with one piece to represent all 7 in one print so I’m working on those ideas now and hoping to have everything ready well in advance so that I will *fingers crossed* have time to do a beaded piece…

Here is my early sketch in pencil with an image and figure.

I want this to be a 2 stage print so there will be a written portion to this print but I’m going to start with the figure and then move from there.

So stay tuned – the work in on…
