My new kilt pins

They are very beautiful.

If your father decides to make more to sell, he may want to reconsider using the Zia sun symbol.

The Zia sun symbol is the figure on the New Mexico flag, but is actually a sacred symbol of the Zia Pueblo people. See Wikipedia Zia Sun Symbol

I know that he and you think of it in terms of it being "New Mexico". A gift from father to son is, in my mind, different than selling it in commerce.

When people start to sell things with symbols that are sacred in the original culture, it sometimes causes problems.

Otherwise, all of them are beautiful and beautifully made.

I do so love "different" - especially when its also beautiful.

Had the same thought about the Zia, but guessing since your dad's local he knows...the tourist shops in Albuquerque are certainly overflowing with goods carrying the Zia symbol. Will be interesting to see how the Zia campaign does on their home turf.

I happen to love it and have it as part of one of my tattoos for very spiritual reasons...hoping the Zia's don't mind too much and won't hold me down and cut it from my arm.

I'm really interested in knowing how the magnetic deals work in the real life of a swishing kilt. I'm still not convinced and would hate to lose such beauty on a bump I didn't notice.
