Mary and Joe Calabaza
Joe can no longer work.
The
question is often asked. "How is heishe made"?
Joe and
Mary Calabaza answer,
First, the materials are selected. Almost anything can be
made into heishe...
shell, turquoise, lapis, amber...
Then it is cut into thin strips and drilled with a very fine bit.
After the
holes are drilled, the strips are cut into squares.
One square has one hole
The squares
are then strung on wire and worked
by hand until each piece is perfectly round
and matched.
The end result can be as fine as a strand of hair.
