I returned recently from hunting in Arizona and Texas. Hunting what? Rocks and opal, of course, and I did pretty well. I brought home some stunning opal and can’t wait to knap it into arrowhead necklaces and earrings. I also scored some screamer agate, flint, jasper and flint. I am already visualizing some of it transformed into stone knives and arrowheads. Oh yeah, Clovis points, Dovetails, Cahokias, maybe a Folsom or two, and I can’t forget Dalton points, Agate Basins, and Lost Lakes. If you think of others I need to knap, just let me know.
I suspect that some will begin showing up on www.artofishi.com pretty soon. Remember, if there is a type of flintknapping rock that you don’t see on my website then you will have to e-mail or call to give me heck. I’m used to getting heck, usually for not making enough new creations to keep folks satisfied. I’m trying to resolve the situation by training my dogs to help me. So far they just lay there and chew on my flintknapping tools. I guess some dogs are flintknappers and some aren’t.
