Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire Kachina

Inspired by ancient rock art, rust, and blue corn, the Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire Kachina is made almost entirely from reclaimed metal. It features an Ancestral Pueblo-inspired petroglyph image plasma cut by hand into the steel. An old stove burner cover holds a pool of resin, which is infused with actual ground turquoise and blue cornmeal from the American Southwest as well a shot of high quality glow-in-the-dark powder.

The hair/feathers, arms, and staff come from old snap ties commonly used in construction. The neck and wrist bands are fashioned from copper remnants.

Ready to hang indoors or under a full moon, this marriage of rustic and fine art makes an unforgettable gift for you or someone else.

Plus, 10% of profits from this sale go to the Navajo Water Project (navajowaterproject.org).
