Chilkat\/Ravenstail headdress, double-sided Ravenstail vest, and Chilkat\/Ravenstail handbag woven by Clarissa Rizal – 1989<\/p><\/div>\n

My very first Chilkat piece was a small ghost face pouch woven in a week in 1983.\u00a0 A lousy weaver, I dare say that when I threw the thing against the window it just about cracked it!\u00a0 Nope I never show that one to nobody!\u00a0 Other than the one side of a pair of leggings that I wove with Jennie during our apprenticeship, and the Chilkat woven flap to a leather backpack, the three pieces above and the wall pouch below are my very first weavings before I wove my first Chilkat robe (Sea Grizzly 1999) and my first Ravenstail robe (Copper Woman’s robe woven in 1994).<\/p>\n

Though I have woven several small pieces not pictured here (or anywhere else for that matter), and I am a multi-tasker who has created other major pieces of art in a variety of mediums, the photos in this blog are all of my major weavings.\u00a0 This blog post is to honor my children and grand-children to whom I leave my legacy and especially today to my youngest child whose birthday is today; she is the one who created this website, who created and encouraged me to blog, and who still continues to be a level-headed side-kick.<\/p>\n
