Doe skull rattle - I made this rattle a while back, but decided to give it an entirely fresh coat of paint. I painted it black, and gave it accents in silver. On the forehead is a stylized doe with a crescent moon overhead. This is a fairly quiet rattle, good for indoor work. It measures 16" long. $20.00

Marten pouch - I took an old marten hide from a stole and made it into this 9" x 4 1/2" (not including tail) pouch. On the leather panel in the front I painted a spirit from a recent journey of mine. The pouch also has a 28" long leather strap that used to be the drawstring on the hood of an old coat of mine. $20.00

Lynx paw pouch - I made this necklace pouch out of a lynx forepaw and some leather from a pair of pants. The pouch portion is app. 6" x 3". The strings are made from the legskin of the pouch and more leather.

Deer antler bowl - This piece was originally commissioned, but the customer never got back to me about it once it was done, so I'm offering it for general sale. I started with a well-worn hand-carved antique wooden bowl, 6" across, and attached it to a well-chewed and weathered deer antler. I wrapped the bowl and base in some pale deerskin, and there are also a few pieces of clay at the foundation to help the bowl balance. $20.00
