Toy Horses

These are two stuffed leather horses I had made,red ochre stained and simple beadwork and a few deer dew claws attached to the feet.

Parfleche Sewing Kit

I created a simple sewing kit that includes sinew,stone tools and a bear head awl. I carved the bear head, inlaid beads for eyes and cast the fancy lead-work to hold the hand forged trade awl. All items are put into this red ochre stainded parfleche. I still plan to make a few bone needles soon.

Sioux Style Parfleche

.

This is a total different style of parfleche painting, it includes the standard abstract border with a floral (I believe that its a symbol for a choke cherry leafs and berrys). Made of elk rawhide and linen thread sewn, hand rolled tin cones.

Parfleche Medicine Tube

I have completed this tube painted with earth natural pigments, with my research these style tubes were used as medicine bundles amongst the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes. These tubes were often very large and had a simple motif painted as I have done. This particular tube will adorn a Warrior Chiefs lodge here next summer...
