Plus I have like no play doh HELP! umm if you know were joann is then go there!!! thats were i went hope that helps!!! your bff You must be a Hopi or Zuni to make a real Kachina Doll. The pueblo Indian tribes make their Kachinas from a single piece of Cottonwood tree root. Everything...hair, feathers, clothing, etc is carved from the wood. It is a true sculpture. (If you see a Kachina made with real cloth or feathers then it is a copy; most likely made by a member of the Navajo tribe. It does not have spiritual qualities at all, it is simply an object made for tourists.) |
