Cuff and Hinged Bracelets

 

 

The tensile strength of lead free pewter is slightly less than that of silver.  Like all

cuff bracelets, care has to be taken in fitting them to the wrist:

putting them on and taking them off.

Frida Kahlo Bracelets3

Frida Kahlo Bracelets

These designs are adaptations from Frida Kahlo paintings. Frida was

a noteworthy Mexican artist (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954).  Because of

a serious injury suffered by a trolley car, she spent much of her adult life

in bed, gazing at a mirror on the ceiling.  She paintied many self-portraits

that often included elements from her large home and indoor gardens --including

the monkeys depicted in several of the bracelets. She is a strong feminist figure.

Historic Saints  Images

Hispanic Southwest Retablos

These designs are adaptations from images found in folk art paintings and carvings  in

Southwest Churches.  The originals are mostly 18th century.  The images were

created from memory by parishioners who had a strong desire to make their churches

authentic in spite of the fact that priests were not always available for consultation due

to the remoteness of their villages.  Click here for titles of images

Alice Warder Seely's mixed Indian, Spanish, and Anglo heritage reflects the rich cultural diversity of New Mexico. Seely is the step daughter of Navajo artist Ha-So-De (Narciso Abeyta), "The Gaugin of American Indian Art".  Her maternal grandmothers, Eleanor Brownell and Alice Howland, came to Santa Fe from Philadelphia in the 1930's.  Seely's paternal grandparents were from the small Spanish village of Guadalupita in Northern New Mexico and were descendents of San Juan and Comanche Indians. Her great grandfather is pictured in the original Pony Express poster. Seely's  half brother and sisters, are recognized Navajo artists. Alice's biological father, William Warder, was a New Mexico muralist and landscape painter.

Because of Alice's Native American heritage and her having grown up with a Navajo step-father, Alice is familiar with Native American Designs.  She is not a registered Native American and her jewelry and textiles are her own adaptations and designs.   Many designs are contemporary and are not influenced by southwest images.
