Out with the old and in with the new

I re-traded for this on the bottom.The story goes that I made the bottom parfleche 25+ years ago, and he wanted a new parfleche wallet. So I made the top one for my used one. Now I collect my own art now !!!!!

My Venus of Willendorf.

I carved this Venus from a piece of steatite years ago. Long before a tool called dremel !!   I posed it with my sons hands. The Venus was a form of a fertility god in early man in the regions of Europe.

Homespun Ropes

I got a worm stuck in my head and well it worked... I made these at the Inlaws (thanks for letting me use there drill) over Christmas break. I took pillow ticking and calico cloth and twisted several ropes. Two pieces 28 foot long will make a 20 foot rope... 

Handforged Fish Hook Flies

I'm putting a fishing kit together here soon, got handforged hooks from my brother. I was messing around and took some red trade wool strips and wrapped it with silk thread... I never tied a fly before just looking for what a mountain man could have used...  I will post again when complete.
