Yay! Artwork update! I got almost entirely cleaned out of tails during June between online sales, and vending at events, so that stock's low, but I managed to have a few new things to share. Plus I "repackaged" a few dance costume sets into separate pieces since I've had them a couple years and want to see them get to new homes. And I did a periodic check of stuff that I have, and found that there were a few things that somehow got removed from my website/etc., so I added them on. So this is a potpourri of the new, and the new-again.

As always, prices do not include shipping, animal parts may only be shipped in the U.S., 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. And if you don't see what you really want, custom work is available!

Materials: Wolf hide, leather

Description: This huge, wonderful grey wolf mask would be excellent for someone larger than I am; it almost dwarfs my head, and I am a little 5'4", 110 pound slip of a thing, so if you're even a bit more physically substantial than I am, this may be a great mask for you! Nice, big eye holes are easy to see through, and you can either leave the mask as-is or decorate it as you see fit (or contact me for customization options!) He has a bit of a bare patch between his eyes, but it blends in nicely.

Price: $100.00

Price: $120.00



Materials: Wolf hide, leather

Description: The eyes on this wolf mask are a little smaller, but I could see through them just fine. This mask is also small enough that it can also be worn as a headdress with no trouble, so it has added versatility! One of theprettiest masks I've made in a good long while!

Price: $100.00



Materials: Lynx fur, leather

Description: This lovely headdress is made from a lynx hide as well as black leather, and is meant specifically for ritual work. The headdress is about 36" long, and the panels are intentionally long so that they may be draped over the sides of the head to block out some light and sound for better meditation, as this set wants to be used for quieter forms of spirituality and magic as well as dance. It has one tie that goes under the chin. Please note: the pictures show a headdress, necklace and pouch; the necklace and pouch are sold separately.

Price: $180.00



Materials: Coyote skin, leather

Description: This is a streamlined, pretty brown summer coyote hide; his nose got rather irreparably smushed in the tanning process, but he'd still quite attractive, and would be a great dance partner for drum circles, rituals and other pagan spiritual events! He measures 59" long from nose to tip of tail, and he ties onto the dancer under the chin and at the shoulders--he's too heavy to only suspend from one's head alone. Give this guy a good home and a place in your sacred space!

Price: $100.00



Materials: Red fox skin, leather

Description: I don't expect this guy to hang aruond very long! He's a beautiful red fox hide to which I added leather cords to tie under the chin; he's very lightweight! Sadly, his ears were stripped of all cartilage and so they're a bit floppy, but he doesn't seem to mind. He's still a handsome boy, and he'd make a great companion for shapeshifting dance and other ritual!

Price: $80.00



Materials: Fox skull, leather, fox fur, fox tail, acrylic paint

Dimensions: 16" long (not including tail)

Description: I love how this rattle turned out--a black painted fox skull with silver highlights, a simple black leather wrapped handle, and an exquisite blue frost fox tail just make a stunning combination! Stones in the brain casing make a nice, not too loud rattle.

Price: $90.00



Materials: Fox skull, leather, fox fur, fox tail, acrylic paint

Dimensions: 15" long (not including tail)

Description: This is a smaller version of the skull rattles I've been making; it features a fox skull with a hinged jaw. I wrapped the wooden handle in leather with painted accents, and added a red fox tail to the end. Both the stones in the brain casing and the jaw create a pleasant, not too loud rattling sound.

Price: $100.00
