About Me
- Angela Swedberg
- Greetings. I am using this Blog to show the artwork I do. I make original Plains and Plateau style Indian art, based on 19th century aesthetics and use authentic materials that were available in that time frame (1820-1900). I also restore and do conservation work of antique Indian art. I am a tribally certified Indian Artisan in accordance with the Indian Arts and Crafts act of 1990. Recently I have been exploring the world of art glass and the ways of incorporating it into a modern expression of established tribal art forms. Lastly, my other passion is horses. They often influence my work, and give much to my soul. I have quite a bit of material posted on here, so be sure to look back at the earlier entry's. Thank You for looking at my work, and I hope you enjoy it. If you are interested in my work, I can be contacted at angela@ medicinecapstudio.com Thank You. MOST OF THE WORKS SHOWN ON MY BLOG SITE ARE ORIGINAL ARTWORKS OF MY DESIGN AND CONCEPT. THEY ARE COPYRIGHT PROTECTED. PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY WORKS OR DESIGNS WITHOUT MY PRIOR APPROVAL.

Angela, it looks so much more alive with the tubes. Amazing work as always!
Thank you for that. Sometimes the small changes or details make all the difference, and I was not satisfied with it initially. Sometimes its better to revisit your work than let out there something you are just not quite pleased with.
Salve,
Another beauty :)
Question - have you seen the article on the beads in the multi-author 2-volume publication titled 'People of the Buffalo' - editors Colin F. Taylor and Hugh A. Dempsey? Interesting stuff on early trade beads etc
cheers
Thank You Dario. I have seen that article. But I will pull it and read it again as it has been some time. I met Colin Taylor several years ago at a conference in Montana. He was a very learned scholar on Plains Indian art.
But interesting the world trade that come to the Americas which made the art all the more dimensional and rich.
And your Blog is fabulous as always. Keep up the excellent work.
