Look! I made holiday ornaments! And they're for sale--$6 to $10 each :) The above picture is just a few of them! I am happy to replicate them to the best of my ability if the original sells (or, as in the case of Cthulu Claus, is already claimed). And yes, I do take custom orders and can have your order ready for the holidays this year :)

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 Etsy store and Artfire shop. And if you don't see what you really want, custom work is available!

I took a 2 1/4" real coyote foot bone, and decorated it with secondhand yarn that I hand-braided myself. At the ends of the dangles there are little brass bells of the sort found on belly dance wear; since there are only four of them and they're muffled by the yarn, they're more decorative than sound-producing, but they still make a nice accent on this simple but pretty ornament! Total length is 5 1/2" including hanging loop.

Price: $6.00

The base of this ornament is a 1 1/2" long slice of whitetail deer antler; I stitched a real red fox claw to a scrap of red leather left over from a larger project of mine, and attached it to the front. I also added a tassel made of red and green secondhand yarn, and hand-braided a hanging loop of the same, and completed the ornament with a bit of green acrylic paint around the edges. The ornament is 6 1/2" long including hanging loop.

Price: $10.00

The lovely brass hoop for this ornament used to be a bangle bracelet that I repurposed. I hand-braided secondhand red and green yarn, and wrapped it around the hoop in a five-pointed star. Is it the Star of Bethlehem? Or the neopagan pentacle? Or just a pretty star for your holiday decor? Your choice! The ornament is 2 3/4" in diameter.

I hand-painted a little red fox on a 1 3/4" long piece of deer antler, and added a hanging loop and tassels out of hand-braided secondhand green yarn. While it would be a lovely addition to holiday decor, it could also double as a nice totemic ornament year-round. The ornament about 5" long including the hanging loop.

Price: $9.00

I backed a piece of white rabbit fur from an old coat with a piece of secondhand medium weight leather to give it more stability. The ornament is decorated with a tassel of secondhand yarn that I hand braided with a brass bell woven in (the clapper of the bell is missing so it's entirely decorative). The hanging loop is more braided yarn, and the entire ornament is 9" long including the loop and tassel.

Price: $9.00

This ornament is made from a 1 3/4" long piece of deer antler on which I painted a little white stag and some holly. The hanging loop and tassels are made from secondhand white wool yarn, and the tassels are decorated with red and green glass beads. The entire ornament is 7 1/2" long including loop and tassels.

Price: $9.00

This ornament is canted more toward traditional Western European Yule/Winter Solstice traditions. The base of the ornament is a 2 1/2" long piece of whitetail deer antler to which I tied a secondhand pendant featuring a Winter-slumbering oak tree surrounded by the rays of the reborn Sun. I added a hanging loop and several tassels from secondhand white wool yarn, and decorated a few of the tassels with white and tan glass beads. The entire ornament is 11" long including loop and tassels.

Price: $10.00

Simple and cute, this little stocking is made from scrap red leather from a larger project of mine, and white rabbit fur from a coat--you could even (carefully) tuck some tiny gift in there! Stocking is about 1 7/8" long.

Price: $6.00

This simple but elegant ornament is made from a 2 1/4" long slice of whitetail deer antler. I hand painted a white wolf and a couple of evergreen branches on the front, and added a hanging loop of hand-braided secondhand green yarn. While this would be an excellent addition to a holiday tree, it also would be a nice totemic ornament year-round.

Price: $9.00

I gave the original ornament shown here to my partner for an early Solstice gift; this listing is for a replication of it!

It's beginning to look a lot like fish-men...be ready for the arrival of the Great Old Ones (and the departure of your sanity) with this hand-painted Cthulumas ornament! I painted a slice of real whitetail deer antler with Cthulu himself, all decked out for the celebrations in a jaunty Santa Claus hat, and the Elder Sign all decked out with tree ornaments, too! Cthulu's infamous tentacles are made from secondhand green yarn. The original ornament is 4 1/2" long including hanging loop and tentacles; please allow a bit of variation in your ornament. (Ia ia custom work!)

Price: $10.00
