please send a note to her..not clayart if you know the answer.
he is not on clayart this came to me...
Hi...my name is Rosie Pinet Hartner, and I am a member of the Yavapai Chapter of Arizona ARchaeology. I have been asked to come up with some yucca brushes for our outreach at the Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott Arizona, for the June 7 public event. I just read about Roger Korn this am while researching this on Internet , and wondered if I may have any further information on streamlining this activity, as I read that we need to soak the yucca for several weeks, and the event is on June 7.
I just tried to send a couple of emails, but was asked to use this address in order to request this.
Please let me know if you can be of any further assistance!
Thanks, Rosie Hartner

Mel, There was no email address so would you please
forward this to the Hartners.

In my book "Maria, the potter of San Ildefonso", Julian makes
a yucca brush by choosing a thick leaf and triming it " back to the stem,
so that all that was left was a narrow, three-sided little stick."

He chewed the thicker end so the bits of the hard, stiff parts came away
from the long fibers. He then used the brush right away.

Maybe instead of chewing all those brushes they could be pounded
with a wooden mallot and rinsed. I'll have to look for some yucca
and try it.

Mel/Rosie: Took 700 level Southwestern Archeology at KU, & went to Taos, Puye, Santa Fe a number of times.

The brush basically consists of cutting off a strip of yucca and chewing on the end. But this won't make the paint flow.

"Beeweed" gum is added to the paint. I think it is a black vegetable gum.
