“Resilience” Chilkat robe – Clarissa Rizal – June 4, 2014 -photo\u00a0 by Jeff Laydon, Pagosa Photography<\/p><\/div>\n

After 3 months of preparing the bark and wool then spinning the warp and dyeing the weft, and then 5 months of weaving the robe with at least 8 up to 12 hours per day of daily weaving time, I finished the robe on my 58th birthday, June 4, 2014!\u00a0 You may read the design description of the robe in an earlier blog post from last year at by clicking:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.clarissarizal.com\/blogblog\/?p=2914<\/a>\u00a0 (You may also find additional blog posts about the progression of this robe under the category “Latest Art Projects” in the left hand column of this blog page.)<\/p>\n

\"15SHILogo1\"<\/a>Of all the parts of the robe that I was not looking forward to was the weaving of the Sealaska Heritage Institute’s logo!\u00a0 However, once I got it started, I had so much fun and i felt such an affection as if the “human body” was actually a real entity, a real person!\u00a0 —\u00a0 You are probably wondering why the figure is upside down…it’s because this logo is the actual “tail” of the shared body of the Eagle and Raven clan.\u00a0 The tails of the main figure(s) is always drawn upside down.<\/p>\n

\"20Almost5.21.14\"<\/a>On May 5th, I had a bike accident causing big bruises everywhere, especially my hands.\u00a0 And though my hands took a long time to heal and I was in pain, I had to get the robe done by June 11th because I SAID I WOULD and there was an institution that had commissioned this from me and by golly I was gonna “getterdun!”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So I swathed my hands several times daily with the famous healing skunk cabbage ointment “Skookum” made by Harlena Warford out of Hoonah, Alaska,…and I used the three fingers on each of my hands to get the job done come hell or high water!\u00a0 (And because I know that I AM the “hell and high water” there was nothing of which to be afraid!!)<\/p>\n

\"11WayneClarissa\"<\/a>\u00a0PAM now houses the robe in their permanent collection.\u00a0 According to Deana, as long as she is the Curator of Native American art at P.A.M., this robe will always find its way into ceremonies and Celebrations.\u00a0 Thank you, Deana!<\/p>\n
