Spending time with the beads. Had fun putting this bracelet together with the small seed beads. The orange drops are so perfect. Was fortunate enough to get a table at the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention in October. Need to build beautiful pieces for the event.

Happy! 🫎This moose came from the Nenana area, fall hunting. It has been brain tanned and smoked. It is on the thicker side and has a few small tough spots. The super thin sections were trimmed off and used to patch the holes. So happy to see it through the process.

Urban Hide Camp. Some hides take a lot of work! This giant bull has been with me for quite a while. He is taking his 12th brain water spa session!💦He had to be cut down to a manageable size for me to keep working on him solo. It broke my heart, yet he shall be tanned by golly. Gotta go release him from that twist and put him in to soak.
