Whispering Blossoms Wool Blanket

Designed by Inspired Natives® Project collaborator, Michelle Lowden (Acoma Pueblo), this blanket tells the story of the nearing days of Spring and how the land yearns for moisture so the vibrant blossoms of the wildflowers can rise and bloom. The central motif of the blanket represent the blossoming agv́trṿtsị, and the pattern along the edges represents the moisture blessing the land and water cisterns.

about the artist

My name is Michelle Lowden, and I am an Acoma Pueblo artist living and working in Pueblo of Acoma (known in my Keres language as Aa’ku) in New Mexico. I draw my inspiration from my family's history of illustrious potters to create the beautiful hand-painted Pueblo jewelry I am known for. The owner and operator of Milo Creations, you can see how my careful eye and attention to detail show in the intricate line work and Southwest geometric designs of my work. Fun fact: I became Eighth Generation's first Inspired Natives™ Project Collaborator in 2014!
