My jewelry book is still in the works with a few set backs. I hope it will be ready for print by the end of the summer. It is titled "Raven's Shiny Treasures" and will feature everything you ever wanted to know about Tsimshian indian jewelry and design; how to make, how to buy, how to be creative and lots of great tips, pictures and humor( but of course, I'm a Raven don't you know). I will also feature a foreward by my long time friend and curator at the B.C. museum of anthropology, Bill McLennan. Bill inspired and shared the true Tsimshian style of designing with me from his extensive travels and research. Also very helpful was his colleague Karen Duffeck. Two very wonderful and special people. Thank you both for your passion for my Tsimshian culture and arts. I will also have a section in my book on wedding rings and the Language of Love, which will also be published in a smaller booklet. This concept is based on my research and understanding of our traditional designs and the transformational and spiritual background of the mysterious and beautiful Life crest designs. For more information you can find the basics of the Love ring presentation on my 'wedding ring' section on my website. "I'll give you a ring sometime".
