Storyteller

P410 - Storyteller - Artist: Rose Pecos-Sun Rhodes - Measurements: 3"W x 3 1/4"H - Rose Pecos-Sun Rhodes is a female Navajo/Jemez Storyteller artist. Her mother, Carol Pecos, taught her how to make pottery at a very young age as did Carol's mother. Carol's grandmother, Lupe Madalena Loretto, made figures in the 1920's and passed the tradition on to her daughters. It was not until about 1974 that Carol started making the Storytellers when she discovered how much fun it was to create them. In the 1980's she started making the Storytellers on a clay base covered with children. Rose started following the family traditions in the 1970's and has been noted for her Navajo-style Storytellers painted in the traditional Jemez brown, beige and terra-cotta polychrome. Instead of placing her figures on a clay disc she has often extended the long skirt of the female Storyteller to form the base on which the children are placed. Her trade mark is a little boy wearing a cowboy hat which is found on all of her Storytellers. "My husband, Sun Rhodes, who is an Arapaho, used to put his cowboy hat on our little son, and I wanted to capture that look in clay, but it did not fit in with the Pueblo style, so I started doing a Navajo version, with little boys in cowboy hats and little girls holding traditional Navajo wedding baskets. I make a point of putting in traditional Navajo cradleboards and the correct detailing on the little girl's sashes." That was her inspiration for her now famous trademark.
