An example of some of Gary Waid's mother-of-pearl buttons available at the Alaska-Juneau Public Market
Local Juneauite Gary Waid will be selling the last of his stock of mother-of-pearl buttons at the Old Armory – the annex of the Alaska-Juneau Public Market. (For those of you who are not from “old” Juneau, the Armory is now called the JACC, the Juneau Arts & Culture Center.)
Gary has an assortment of button sizes available in large packs up to 100 (or 144). Gary will no longer be ordering more buttons, he is liquidating his entire stock, so now is the time to buy from him. Visit him at his booth in the Old Armory this weekend at the Alaska-Juneau Public Market, Friday through Saturday. The Market opens Friday at noon until 8pm, Saturday and Sunday, 10am-5pm. For those who are from out of town, give Gary a call at (907)957-1488.

I am presently working on a portfolio of my first fifty Chilkat & Ravenstail weaving robes and button blanket ceremonial robes. My goal is to have this book available for sale at the “Alaska-Juneau Public Market” held in Juneau at Centennial Hall during Thanksgiving Day weekend.
Between 1983 and 2010, I designed and created 50 Tlingit ceremonial robes in the button blanket style, Ravenstail dance robes and the Chilkat dance robes. Keeping with the Tlingit tradition, each robe conveys a message, story or clan identity. The first 25 robe photos were snapshots before I got the idea I would document the latter half of her robes by a professional photographer! Like Duh!?
You will find the copy of this book available for sale on my “Shop and Buy” page of my website; check in with me periodically through this blog or my website. Or better yet, email me your email address so I may may put you on my list to send you the announcement of this book when it comes hot off the press!
