I am connected to the earth and animals, so I drew a Red
fox. White, blue and red
are the Stoney colours and I have used these colours. Every colour means something.
In my design white means Creator, God, and is north. Red
means changing seasons or blood and it is the east. Black means the center,
earth's core, it is the south and orange
is protection, it is the west. The circle is very important to the Stonies.
If you sit in a circle, all are equal. My artistry has geometric shapes in some
places and floral work in others because Stoney artistry has a mix of both.
I think that nothing looks good without green.
