Custom Ranch Brand Pendant for Rodeo Queen: CJ Canady

May 10, 2020
Wheeler County Fair Queen  CROPPED.jpg

CJ (Casi) Canady won the title of Wheeler County Rodeo Queen and mom Shannon was so proud that she commissioned a custom ranch brand! I was pleased to commemorate CJ’s achievement by creating this special brand for her.

Held at the Wheeler County Fairgrounds in North Central Oregon, the contestants competed rain or shine and they had both during the tryouts – plus glorious sunsets.

Miss Wheeler County Rodeo Queen is an ambassador for the Wheeler County Fair & Rodeo and Wheeler County as a whole. CJ and her companion Princess, Makenna Gales, went out and about all rodeo season attending over 20 rodeos and events.

Currently, CJ has been attending Central Oregon Community College, Bend, Oregon and has her sights set on the nursing program.

While CJ is not part of the Pendleton Round-Up, I want to share this video posted on the Wheeler Country Fair facebook page because it shows the vibrancy and fun loving spirit of today’s cowgirls. Please click for a most enjoyable video featuring Sydney Jones, Kayla Fossek, Addie Kilgore, Mallory Walters, Raelin Davis, Robie Davis, and Kaia John:

At High Desert Creations, I create handmade wearable art pendants, bracelets and earrings that represent my connection to earth, sky and spirit in original Western, Southwestern and Contemporary designs – rustic & simplistic/refined & modernistic.

I also work with patrons to create distinctive styles of custom jewelry on commission.

Your design vision is key to your satisfaction and I welcome collaboration!

Via message, text, email, chat – or with a drawing or description or selection of stone, metals, symbols – I will work with you to create an original work of wearable art just for you. If you already have a piece that you would like me to rework – I’m happy to help with that.
