I've just reached 700 followers! Thank you for continuing support. I could never have made it without each one of you. 🙏🤗🎉

700 for 7 years! Woo hooo. Thank you all for the support and love! Goodiron Beadworks appreciates YOU!

After my father passed away, I would run to his bedroom and look for him every morning! I did this because I would have such vivid dreams about him and they were so real, I could feel him there next to me holding my hands!

Every time of course I would come up empty because his body was gone! I could no longer see a physical presence! I tried many things to fill the emptiness I felt. He is still my hero and still inspires me.

It took me many years and the support of my native culture and people to realize that this shell that is our body is not for us to fill up! The point of our existence is build up our self respect and then share our spirits and energies filling each other up from within. For me to do this, I had to have empty hands so that I may use them to hold others up, to create purpose from the emptiness!

Our lives are not our own in the fact that we must use them to support each other and if we fill them with possession, we will not be able to hold each other close and support our connections.

A new piece from an old memory!

Snow Covered LOVE!

When my daughter was little we went to cut a Christmas Tree down in Mt. Shasta! She was tiny, a tiny snow bunny! She was running around playing and falling in the snow. She would get up and keep trudging and nothing prevented her from having fun. She was playing with her grandma and grandpa and throwing snowballs.

We ended up on some snow covered road in the middle of the woods and we were walking and searching, searching and seeking! Everyone was walking ahead of me and I stood there in the middle of the road, in the middle of the woods, in the middle of the day! From the grey clouds a white spec began to fall on my nose, and another, and another. Until, it began to snow just the perfect amount and between the space of our earth and the people I hold most dear! I was washed over with a feeling of peaceful joy that only love can bring. As the snow started covering the ground, my heart became entangled between my love for Unci Maka, and the love for my family! Craig Wages Jr

Mark’s Salsa is legit, our family favorite! We got some and you don’t! If you head down to the Reddingfarmersmarket you can catch Mark Cable and his salsa! But move fast because he was almost sold out!

The Burning GOLD!

From the burning, comes growth!
From the suffering inside, comes understanding.
From the loss, comes a value with no price!
