Vendor Spotlight on Owl Johnson
Here I offer unique and original creations by artist "OWL." I design all my creations based on my Irish and Cheyenne heritage I grew up with.
As of 1990 the Indian Arts and Crafts Act became effective. The final rules became effective as of September 10, 2003. I am five-eighths Northern Cheyenne and Irish, so I am going to continue designing and carrying on my ancestor's arts and crafts as they did.
I was born in Montana and raised in the boothills of Missouri. In our culture the women did beading,tanning hides, making jewelry, crocheting, knitting, made and dyed wool yarn, and made all the clothes. Men hunted, made harnesses, saddles and bridles, did wood carving, stone work and farming. The shawl comes from the Irish (Henry).
"Many Leaves" learned from the Irish how to make the shawl by finger weaving it. "Many Leaves" made wooden beads from different trees. She would weave the wooden beads through the shawl. She also finger weaved sashes,and belts,and many other things. Her sister "Little Tree" learned how to start a new website. With the help of PCC Website Design, we put "Owl's Original Crafts" on the web.

Play Your Age
A woman is having a really bad day at the roulette tables in Las Vegas. Down to her last $100 and completely exasperated, she cries, "What horrible luck! What in the world should I do now?"
A gentleman next to her, trying to calm her down a bit, calmly suggests, "I don’t know. Why don’t you play your age?"
He walks away. Moments later, he is intrigued to hear a great commotion at the roulette table. Maybe, she won!
Rushing back to the table and pushing his way through the crowd, he is stunned to see the lady lying limp on the floor, with the table operator kneeling over her.
He asks, "What happened? Is she all right?"
The operator replies, "I don’t know, buddy…. She put all her money on 29. When 36 came up she fainted!"
Final Thought
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf.
