A friend of mine moved to Albuquerque and I thought it would be fun to make her a house warming present of some sort. I decided on painting a wooden serving tray. I found a Kokopelli character on the internet, printed it and carefully cut it out. Then I spent hours with the cutout and pencil & paper, trying to come up with some sort of design. I wanted something Southwesterny, but it had to be something I could actually paint, lol. This is what I came up with.

For a hundred and one reasons I won't go into, the tray never got finished and never got sent to Albuquerque. I think I'm going to leave it as is, with the unfinished white outsides, and hang it in my kitchen.

Kokopelli is super! I have glass Kokopelli earrings. :D
Brilliant! If you could mass produce these, you could sell hundreds of them.
Unbelievable. Both Kokopelli and Albuquerque are spelled correctly . .
. . . design genius combined with linguistic rigor !
