Bison Parfleche Cutouts

Made from buffalo hide I cut them out and inscribed a simple pattern on them. The bear is a very strong animal and respected among the Plains Indian, also is a bone whistle. 

Muslin Ledger Dress

I made a simple muslin dress and and drew a ledger scene on both front and back. She holds her husbands coup stick and proudly displays a dog skin bag. Last she wears a parfleche bonnet with a bear paw motif .

Arrow Making Tools

I have a friend shot a moose last fall and I salvaged the legs to skin for a leg bag. I did save a few bones for the tools seen here... A moose toe bone wrench with a square hole, a 3 hole tool with various sized holes and an original arrow shaft sander made from sandstone.

3 Legs Shooting Bag

Ever heard the story of 3 legs ?? Well neither have I !!   I put this shooting bag together hand stitched with linen thread and a woven hemp strap. I did make a fine trade with this item.

Rocker Engraving

My real first attempt at engraving on brass. A simple buffalo motif and a few stars, I then tied it to a strand of beads. My youngest boy liked it do much he 

claimed it ..

Parfleche Pairs

I have 2 sets of parfleches recently made. Both are patterned after Cheyenne designs and with painted earth pigments.

Horse Mirror Board

Here is a mirror I had set with pine pitch. It wasn't easy and a few burnt finger tips later I finished it.
