Meet
Halona,
which means "Good Fortune" in Navajo.
Halona
is 15" tall. Her body is brown cotton fabric and her face is painted with
water color pencils and sealed. Her fingers are mitt hands with stitched fingers
for detail.
I
have spent a great deal of time on her costume and great attention to detail was
taken in creating it. Her dress is a beautiful indigo blue velvet, hand sequined
and beaded across the front and down the sleeves, which are trimmed with
sequins, beads and turquoise pieces. She wears leather boots with bead trim as
well. Her skirt is very full and she has a petticoat of Indian print cotton that
holds the skirt out nicely.
Halona
has black yarn hair tied in the back and hand beaded trim around her face. Her
earrings are silver feathers with bead accents, and her belt is a concho which
is laced together with beads. Her necklace is seed beads on leather backing with
peyote stitch chain.
