Replica Heads and Knife Case

Here are replica heads and a knife case were made by me. In the construction of the heads No parts of any "Protected Birds of Prey" was used to create these. Since a kid I have been fascinated with native lore and medicine bundles and the most sacred of all Plains Indian culture is the Eagle. Many attempts have been made by me to replicate these pieces. A taxidermy catalog with resin bird heads got me started. I then attached fur and chicken feathers to the heads oil paints and wood stain completed the sacred eagle head. This eagle and Crane are now in my personal collection.

Flat Horn with scrim

Here I have finished a flat horn with my first true attempt at scrimshaw. I have used a pine plug, homemade brass brads and copper staples. I chose to scrim a simple native orgin motiff. I plan to make a complementary bark tanned possibles bag here soon.
