Proud of Two Cultures

by Debi Woods
(Trenton, Ga.)

Hello,
I hope this blog finds all in great spirits and good health. I am new to this, so please, all be patient with me. My name is Debi and I live in Ga. I am 3/4 Cherokee and my native name is Cornsilk.

I grew up learning two worlds...Native and white. But the two go hand in hand. There is only two types of people, regardless of nationality, and that is either good or bad. The good people outweigh the bad.

I grew up learning to make Native art and crafts. This was not just a way to make a living, but to keep our ancestory alive. To teach our young our culture, so they will teach their young. Every since I was 16, I have been making Jewelry and selling. I now do a lot of living history shows and sell there. Please feel free to visit my store.

I just got home from a show, and will have new products added as soon as I can. I put my store on vacation, so I can take my jewelry with me, and that way, what sells at the show will not be selling in my store why I am away.

To each and everyone, Have a very Pleasant day....

Debi Woods
Cornsilks Creations


P.S.: I have had my web store with artfire since 2008. I just changed my screen name with them, and it shows I have sold nothing.

I Share Your Pride
by: Joni Stinson

I enjoyed your post and share your pride. I am an enrolled member of the Muscogee Creek Nation but am also Cherokee and Irish. I also teach at every opportunity to do so and sell my work on-line and at regional Pow Wows.

On First People my work is listed under Native Arts and then seed bead earrings.

I love your work and keep walking the red road!

I too have some Cherokee in me, my name being Snowwolf, except that my patenal grandmother would Not talk about it much for whatever happend in her parents' past. I love your jewelry and also design Native jewelry. I do mostly beaded earrings, barrettes, and bone chokers. How do like Artfire, as I am deciding which to go with-- Etsy or Artfire. Any input? Right now, I am just on FB as Snowwolf Creations.
