Fine Ethnic Crafts of the Americas

ABOUT US

We've been collecting Southwestern and Guatemalan crafts and arts for 20 years, more seriously for the last 10 years. Our collections overfloweth; thus, we offer some of our findings to you. And the proceeds will help finance our further journeys across the range of the Coatimundi, and beyond.

What's with the coatis, you may wonder? On a recent trip to Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico, we walked through a park and were swarmed by the wee beasties. Coatis are cat-sized cousins of racoons, but they're the pleasant cousins, and so curious about humans. They're also called ring-tailed cats. They naturally range from the US Southwest to northern Argentina, which encompasses some of our favorite terrain. We thought that coatis would be nicely emblematic of our endeavours.

The COATI WORKS site will only be active when we have good crafts to sell on eBay, and when we're actually at our home base in California's central Sierra Nevada mountains. That means the shop will open during July 2005. Upcoming months will see us driving to Canada's Yukon and Northwest Territories, journeying to Peru, and who knows what else. When we're in-between travels and we have more booty to dispose of, the shop will be open again -- as a display window for eBay auctions.

Feel free to contact us at any time at info@klaxo.net. Don't be dismayed if we take a while in answering. We'll be back.
