Here is a horn and bag set made with items that would have been found along the trail of the westward expansion, braintan, bison horn, trade selvedge, trade silver (provided by my brother Spottedlegs), and a abalone button .
I am an Artist that has worked on all mediums of visual expession. My latest works of art are on the Plains Indians Regalia. I have grown up under the smoke flaps of a Tipi in various seasons throughout the Rocky Mountain West. Chasing game behind my father walking many a miles stumbling along to keep up. Hunting deer, elk and bear with a muzzleloader spending months at a time on the high plains of Wyoming. Never wanting to leave these mountain ranges for the city where greenhorns thrive. Reinacting is a way of life. My artwork ranges from a simple graphic sketch to a well researched Plains Indian abstract painted Parfleche. I strive for natural materials, handmade rawhide, earth pigment, braintan skins and pre-1820 materials. Art and the mountains are a way of a exploration towards a simple life. Creating from natural materials as the First Peoples of the Plains is my artistic lifestyle today.
