Whew! This is a HUGE artwork update! (This is what I get for getting permission to do leather sewing during long meetings at my site!) All kinds of new stuff, including some first timers!

Thanks to a suggestion by smcinpdx there are now totem dance tails with stitched-on belt loops, for those who already have a belt to put them on! (Don't worry, I'm still making plenty of tails with the attached belts, too--something for everyone :) And speaking of tails, I have a famous first--a vintage zebra tail! Plus I made antlered headbands with smaller, spike horns that can be worn either on top of the head or on the forehead, too.

And there's more bone jewelry, and a wolf pillow, and...and...well, you'd better just click the cut to see more! (As always, prices do not include shipping, animal parts may only be shipped in the U.S. with the exception of some non-CITES species such as coyote and rabbit (only to the UK, Canada and Australia), LAYAWAY is available, and part of the proceeds go to groups like the Defenders of Wildlife and Wolf Haven International. Everything is available on my website, my Etsy store, and my Artfire.)

Also, should warn you that my server's been a little wonky today, so if the pictures aren't viewable, you can still see everything at the Etsy and Artfire links above.





Description: This 15" x 13" throw pillow features a wolf against a moonlit background; it's stuffed with small scraps from my other projects--I use everything I can! Because of the stuffing, it does weigh a few good pounds, and so isn't your average down pillow. Also, it's a little rough around the edges, literally speaking, since fabric is not one of my fortes, and it's hand stitched. Still, it's a nice piece, and would make a good decoration.
