Today is Stephen's 68th birthday although you'd never know it by looking at him.
Each year we only buy each other a gift on our birthdays.
This year I purchased a piece of Acoma Pueblo pottery made by Jay Vallo.
Jeanette Vallo, "Nah-Sde-Te", known as "Jay", is a full blooded Native American Indian. She was born into Acoma Pueblo in 1959, and was inspired to continue the long lived tradition of working with pottery by observing her grandmother, Lita Garcia. Jay comes from a family of talented and creative pottery makers and painters and she began painting many patterns at the age of 18.
Jay specializes in hand painting eye dazzling starburst and fine line pattern on ceramic pottery. She was taught the traditional methods of hand coiling pottery using ancient traditional methods from her family members. She signs her pottery as Jay Vallo, Acoma.
Stephen was thrilled!!
