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: Zebra hide, leather, yarn
Pouch dimensions: 5" x 5"
Strap length: 31"
Description: Black with white stripes, though appearances may be deceiving, this striking piece of zebra hide was a scrap from a taxidermist. I made it the foldover flap for a pouch made of black leather from a jacket, and finished it off with a strap made of braided secondhand yarn, making this (other than thread for stitching) a completely reclaimed piece!
Price: $17.00
Materials: Leather, red stag antler, ceramic button, waxed linen cord
Pouch dimensions: 8 1/4" x 7 1/4"
Strap length: 23"
Description: Deep brown leather I salvaged from an old jacket is the perfect background for a handmade (not by me) ceramic stag button, as well as being strong and practical. Glass beads and pieces of real red stag antler on braids of brown waxed linen cord complete the bag. Wonderful for work with Horned Gods, deer totems and other spirits of the forest, and big enough to hold tarot cards, sacred stones and other ritual items.
Price: $35.00
Materials: Rabbit fur, artificial sinew
Pouch dimensions: 11" x 9"
Description: This big, roomy drawstring pouch is made from part of a vintage rabbit fur coat. It's big enough to hold tarot cards, runes, even small books! Shuts with hand-braided artificial sinew drawstrings. I don't normally make them this big, so this is a rare opportunity! Jump on it while you can!
Price: $20.00
Materials: Rabbit fur, yarn
Pouch dimensions: 7" x 6”
Description: So soft! This pretty pouch is made from grey rabbit fur from an old coat, with handbraided secondhand yarn drawstrings. Perfect for a set of runes, your favorite crystals, or other small, sacred items.
Price: $10.00
Materials: Rabbit fur, yarn
Pouch dimensions: 7" x 6”
Description: Perhaps you can’t catch the White Rabbit, but you can bring home this lovely all-white pouch made from fur from an old rabbit coat, and braided reclaimed yarn! A great size for tarot cards, runes, even dice!
Price: $10.00
Materials: Fox fur, yarn
Pouch dimensions: 8" x 6 1/2”
Description: This fox fur is unusually colored, with a more subtle red mixed in with white and grey. I added drawstrings made from secondhand yarn, and matched with the vintage fur from a coat, it’s a nicely recycled piece! Great for runes or ogam, tarot cards, dice and more!
Price: $12.00
Materials: Wolf fur, artificial sinew
Pouch dimensions: 7” x 7 1/2”
Description: This thick, fluffy wolf fur is salvaged from an old coat; I love the coloration! You may keep things safe in it with the handbraided black artificial sinew cords; it’s a nice size for tarot, runes, dice, and other small items.
Price: $18.00
Materials: Paper, yarn, colored pencil
Description: A sketch of a white wolf looks out from the front cover of this simple journal made from white paper folded over and tied with braided yarn; the back features a simple drawing of a waterfall.
Price: $2.50
Materials: Lynx scapula, bobcat claw, acrylic paint, artificial sinew
Dimensions: 4 1/4” long not including hanging cord
Description: This lynx shoulder blade was an unusual find! It made a loely canvas for painting this lynx and bobcat together, and I decided to finish it off with a bobcat claw stitched to the front, and an artificial sinew braided hanging cord for display. Excellent for devotional work, altars, or simple artistic display.
Price: $15.00
Materials: Coyote claws, mother of pearl disks
Total length (not including ear wire): 2”
Description: My partner generally isn’t a jeweler, but when he saw these mother of pearl beads he recommended pairing them with coyote claws for a new set of earrings--and I am quite pleased with the result! The lovely shine of the shell complements the earthy roughness of the coyote claws for a fantastic combination.
Price: $8.00
Materials: Peacock feathers
Total length (not including ear wire): 5”
Description: These are probably just a one-time thing, since I don’t do a lot with feathers; however, when a neighbor throw out two bent-up peacock feathers, I couldn’t just let them go in the garbage! So I rescued them, cleaned them up, and here are the two eyes, made into a simple but lovely pair of earrings.
Price: $5.00
Materials: Mammoth ivory, wood beads, clay beads
Total length: 26"
Pendant length: 1 1/2”
Description: I was so pleased when I managed to nab this absolutely breathtakingly hand-carved vintage piece of mammoth ivory! An unknown artist created a painstakingly detailed canine head in the aged ivory; it could be a wolf, though the large ear is more dog-like. Either way, the work is exquisite! I put it on a necklace of vintage wood and clay beads with earthtones that complement the warm bones of the ivory very nicely. Please note that the price is due in part to the rarity and my cost for the pendant (layaway is available!); you won’t find another like this any time soon!
Price: $50.00
Materials: Fox jaw bone, shell beads, wood beads, glass beads, acrylic paint
Total length: 27"
Pendant length: 4 1/4”
Description: This old fox jaw still has two of its teeth, anyway! I painted it with red and brown designs to match the colors of the wood beads in the necklace, and to complement the secondhand glass and shell heishi beads as well. A truly eye-catching piece!
Price: $32.00
Materials: Fossil orthoceras, wood beads, Job’s tears
Total length: 23"
Pendant length: 2 1/4”
Description: Orthoceras was an ancient, now-extinct cephalopod of the oceans. Part of the cone of one has been preserved in this beautifully polished fossil; the dark wood and shining grey beads complement its colors very nicely! Between the vintage beads and the fossil, a love for the old and vintage and...well...REALLY old stuff should be more than satisfied!
Price: $23.00
Materials: Vintage resin beads, glass beads
Total length: 11"
Description: I’ve never seen beads like these; they’re beautiful pale stone-look resin from the 1960s, which I paired with secondhand white glass beads. This could either be a large bracelet or a small anklet, depending; either way it’s a lovely addition to a summer wardrobe with its one of a kind beads!
Price: $12.00
Materials: Coyote fur, leather
Description: I got this pair of ears from a craft-quality coyote face that was pretty much destroyed from the eyes down. Still, I salvaged this part and made it into a neat little headdress, one size fits most, with secondhand leather straps to tie it on. It would look great with any of my coyote tails!
Price: $15.00
Materials: Fox fur, leather
Description: I salvaged the ears from a damaged craft-quality red fox face; they make a cute, one size fits most headdress with black leather straps! Great for ritual and festival costumery, and they'd be a great match for any of my red fox tails!
Price: $15.00
Materials: Fox fur, leather
Description: When I got this craft-quality silver fox face, everything but the ears was in sorry shape. However, the ears were still nice, and so I made them into this lovely ritual headdress/headband with black leather straps that would go great with any of my silver fox tails!
Price: $15.00

Price: $15.00
Materials: Chinese leopard cat fur, leather
Tail length: 8 1/4"
Will fit a belt up to this width: 1"
Description: Look closely--that's not a leopard tail, but a leopard cat, a very different animal! It's a small Asian wildcat much less endangered than the leopard! This pretty tail is on an extra strong braided leather belt loop, ready for wearing or as part of an altar display.
Price: $20.00
Materials: Coyote fur, leather
Tail length: 15"
Will fit a belt up to this width: 2"

Tail length: 6 1/2"

Materials: Fox fur, leather
Tail length: 17"

Description: Reynard. Kitsune. Brer Fox. All these and more carry the mythos of the red fox as animal and as symbol, even as spirit. Carry that with you with this real red fox fur on a strong braided belt loop made from secondhand leather!
Price: $15.00
Materials: Lynx fur, leather
Tail length: 5"
Will fit a belt up to this width: 2"
Description: The lynx is the larger, paler cousin of the bobcat, and even more elusive. This pretty, soft tail from a Canadian lynx carries that energy, and may be worn with a black leather braided belt loop.
Price: $15.00

Tail length: 18"

Price: $50.00
Materials: Coyote skull, brass bells, yarn, dowel rod, embroidery thread, acrylic paint
Dimensions: 24" long (not including tassel)
Description: When I got this coyote skull, she had been through a lot! Some of the teeth and one entire cheekbone were missing, and she was looking rather worse for the wear. However, with some minor patching and a coat of paint, she was ready to be a rattle! There's a nice sound to this rattle, and I added two brass bells to augment the sound. The handle is wrapped in reclaimed yarn, with secondhand embroidery thread creating a tassel at the end. A simple but very beautiful rattle, excellent for rituals, drum circles, and more!
Price: $120.00
Materials: Coyote skull, dowel rod, leather, coyote fur, acrylic paint
Dimensions: 24" long (not including tail)
Description: This is one of my best rattles yet, I think! I hinged the jaw of a coyote skull and painted it with acrylic paint. I then made it a handle wrapped in leather with coyote fur accents, and a big, fluffy coyote tail. Both the pebbles inside the skull, and the hinged jaw, create a lovely rattling sound. A great ritual tool for shamanic work, drum circles, and other pagan celebrations!
Price: $150.00
Materials: Wolf leg bone, water buffalo horn blade, wolf paw with claws, artificial sinew, ceramic wolf button, acrylic paint, leather
Knife length: 8 1/4" (not including tassels)
Sheath length: 9"
Description: One of my favorite knives ever! The handle is a real wolf leg bone painted black with purple and white chevrons; the blade is carved and polished water buffalo horn. The hilt is wrapped in black leather from a coat, and more of the same leather makes up the sheath along with a black wolf's forepaw complete with all five claws. The sheath is also decorated with a handmade black, purple and white ceramic button featuring a Salish-style wolf head. Both knife and sheath have triple-braided artificial tassels, which took me FOREVER (or at least it felt like it!) to complete. I put a LOT of work into this, and a lot of intent, and it would be an amazing athame or other ritual knife.
Price: $170.00

It practically leaps off the screen, even. Whoever ends up with it will be one very fortunate wolf-person.
