 Among the families at Zuni
that have achieved success with both fetish necklaces and tabletop fetishes
are the Quandelacys. Ellen Quandelacy, the matriarch did not begin making
jewelry until she was forty-six, learning from her father and her husband.
Six of the eleven
Quandelacy children are particularly distinguished as carvers. Faye,
Georgia, Stewart, Andres, Albenita, and Barlow. Each member of the
Quandelacy family has a distinctive style that is instantly recognizable, no
matter what the animal Andres has a way of wrapping the tail around his
mountain lions which makes his pieces known on sight. |
