Grandfather
(Commissioned piece)


7 " Hoop with
Genuine Leather & Artificial Sinew Spider Web Dreamcatcher Design with Personal Fetishes,
Snowflake Obsidian and a Buffalo Tooth. The turquoise chip represents the spider who also represents the Creator.


"Grandfather" refers to Sacred Spirit. He was inspired to name this piece after carefully choosing the oldest and most worn Buffalo tooth to add to this dreamcatcher.


"Knowing and appreciating his talent, I asked Patrick "Shungmanitu Tanka Wanagi" to create a special piece for my father for Christmas using some very personal fetishes. He did a wonderful job and I can't wait to see what he does with another personal piece I've asked him to do that will be dedicated to my Mother who is in Spirit!"     - KEW

Gifted
Genuine Leather & Artificial Sinew Spider Web Dreamcatcher Design
Wrapped in  Raccoon Fur with Turquoise (Dyed Howlite),
Wolf Claws, a Buffalo Tooth and Duck Feathers.

This one came about as I was moved to "gift" a dreamcatcher to an aunt of mine as I was leaving my house to go visit her. Found out she was going to be down visiting for a few days, so after I got home from my visit, this is what the Creator led me to make for her gift, and to give it to her the next day.

 

These two skulls that I painted with the four directions symbol are to
use in my own dreamcatcher and mandala creations.

This duck feather that I painted the four directions
symbol on was a gift from the Creator.

This is a personal piece. The blade is one I bought at the flea market and destroyed the original handle. then replaced it with the right side jawbone of a Coyote.

Grandson Choker
This choker with the colors of the four directions, abalone disc and
ermine tails was made for my grandson's first birthday.
 

Friendship Renewed
This choker was a gift from Pat shortly after we met and became friends.
It was originally done with white bones but when it broke last year, Pat decided to replace the white bone with black. The beads and abalone pieces are still from the original choker so I called it "Friendship Renewed."

leather wrapped metal rings, Dove feathers, glass "crow" beads representing the four directions on each of the horsehair scalp locks, the webbing is artificial sinew.

This one is made with Wild Grapevine for the ring, artificial sinew, Turquoise bead and nuggets, a turtle fetish, Duck feathers and horsehair scalp locks.
