Native American Indian Art For Christmas Shopping

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

#art #nativeamerican #indian — The next Northwest Native American Indian art carvings that just came in are perfect as really unique and special gifts for your friends, family and colleagues for Christmas. However, keep in mind that when Christmas shopping online at Free Spirit Gallery and any other online website for that matter, factor in the time needed for shipping.

It’s the beginning of December now and you really should do your online shopping now to get a cushion of time for shipping so that these carvings arrive to you in time for you to give out for Christmas. You don’t want to be disappointed with late deliveries - although a nice original, one of a kind Northwest Native American Indian art carving by master carver Cody Mathias or George Stokes received a bit late is still a good thing!

So do your Christmas shopping now and if there is a piece that you really have your eyes on, order it right away so that we still have a few weeks to get it to you. For destinations in North America, our free shipping will still allow carvings to reach you in time for Christmas.

For international destinations, you may have to put in a little bit for faster shipping in order for our Native American Indian art to get to you if you really want pieces by Christmas. Otherwise if you are in no particular rush, you will likely get shipments after New Year.

In any case, the new carvings are in so do have a look at our Northwest Indian art carvings section to see what the new collection looks like.

More Northwest Native American Art Carvings Soon

Sunday, September 12th, 2010

#art #nativeamerican — I spoke to master carver Cody Mathias and commissioned him to carve a new series of Northwest Native American art carvings for Free Spirit Gallery. We almost sold out the last stock that he produced for us and we wanted to get some more just in time for the upcoming holiday season later this year.

I asked for more salmons, killerwhales, eagles and bears to be included in the new series Cody will produce for us. He might get his nephew George Stokes in on the new series again much like last time.

Cody is one of our favourite Northwest Native American artists to work with and his artwork has always been well received by customers of Free Spirit Gallery. There is still the odd carving by Cody that is available at our Free Spirit Gallery website right now.

We expect that we will get his new series of Northwest Native American art carvings in here at Free Spirit Gallery by October. So stay tuned for progress.
