Title: Another Fringed Item
Post by: Mogorilla on October 04, 2005, 12:38:52 PM
THought I would post as when I played as a kid, I was always the native american.  As such I have a fondness for all things fringed.  I made this for my Brother-in-law, who took up archery during hunting season last year.  Put the pocket on it as a joke for him, he was "busted" for practicing with his bow, in an approved area, during July, with practice tips, shooting at a conservation department provided target.  The new conservation agent tried to bust him for hunting without a license, and no I.D.  The head agent for the area threw out the ticket and apologized, but I made the quiver for him so he would have a place to keep it.  (attaching a pattern as well)
The fur is rabbit and the conchos are some mussel shells my mother-in-law gave me.  she also gave me the shed antler that I made the button out of.  The straps are held in place by two shank bones from dinner one night.  I "antiqued" then with some fieblings light brown leather dye.

Nice work Mo.  My wife, Maggie Three Feathers, and I make Native American things too.  We make Dream Catchers, Medicine Wheels, Talking Sticks, Talking Feathers and do decorated skulls.  I know you really can't see them but in my avatar is a Dream Catcher and a decorated steer skull we made.  We'll be watching your posts and thanks for sharing with us.    8)
