It may be passed around a group, as multiple people speak in turn, or used only by leaders.

Now in my 91st year I am ending my long career in art by creating these twenty-two

talking sticks. Using polymer clay, cleaned & dried gourds, and embellished by treasures I have

collected over the years, they measure between 10" and 12" long. 

An individually custom made wrought iron stand is included.

I believe that to speak and be heard is crucial to harmonious relationships in families, groups,

ceremonies, and all manner of gatherings.

I hope my talking sticks will help facilitate that valuable connection especially in family gatherings.
