Day 6: Spirit Bears

This one's way too small for me to photograph in situ. It's only about an inch and a half wide by five-eighths of an inch tall. It's another pin/pendant and it's probably better suited to wearing on a thin chain.

The artist is Roderick Tenorio and I have a couple of his pieces, though I think this is the only pin.

Day 2: Bear With Me

Today it's the bear pin. The bear with a directional arrow pointing west is a common Navajo icon and symbolizes (roughly) leadership or strength.

I have quite a few Southwest or Native American pieces of jewelry and three or four bears. It's a symbol I like and it gives me a feeling of being able to take on the day.

Today I'm attending a United Way luncheon representing my company so ... leadership. And it's a rubber chicken event so ... strength.
