notes:

Two Osage women from Arkansas are replicating traditional Caddo, Mississippian and Quapaw pottery.

They are very good and produce museum quality material - and don't misrepresent the wares. The ladies names are Barbara Evans and Bonnie Boatner.  They live in Clay County, Ark. and call the business Two Sisters.  This information came from someone via email who knew about them and filled us in on the history.  I found reference to Barbara and Bonnie listed as Osage in a directory at www.creativenative.com, but the link is now gone.  The owl effigy is traditionally made and a nice representative.
