For something a little different, I thought I'd post some pix of a four winds peace pipe that I made for my husband. Due to the length and weight, it was very difficult to get decent pix of it so please bear with me  Entire pipe:  Hand painted "eagle" feathers, pine stem, buffalo hide, coyote hide and beadwork. Four Winds Bowl, Carved From Utah Catlinite:  Top View, Showing Beadwork and Real "Scalp":  The "scalp" is a large lock of my husband's hair. When I first met him back in '92 he had a mullet that went halfway down his back. I saved the hair when he got it cut a few years later. I dyed it with natural Native American pigments and added it to the pipe. Thanks for looking! Eileen |

The pipe is fantastic, a photo of your husband using it would complete the picture What a beautiful bead - work, and those trees underneath the pipe are each of them deserving its own thread. Adrian |

Adrian Thanks, Adrian! Actually, my husband doesn't smoke. We've tried the pipe and it works, but he's not a smoker. He just likes the Native American crafts I make and he wanted a pipe, so I made him one. It usually hangs on the wall of his office. The trees will get their own threads ;D I just don't want to spam everyone with everything all at once. There are 20 trees on that display case and many of them need to have better photos made before I post them. Thanks again, Eileen |

What am I doing wrong, I love your trees Nancy Hi, Nancy! Thanks for your kind words I'm still in the process of designing the web site and haven't gotten a gallery installed as yet. I had thought about going the shopping cart/e-commerce route, but since these are "one of a kind items", I think I'll just have people email me if they see something they like. I should have something up later this week or the next. Eileen |

Beautiful job on the peace pipe. I had a Native American rockhound friend in Washington who was making a peace pipe out of local jade that he'd collected. Unfortunately cancer got the best of him before he could finish it. Last I heard, his brother was trying to finish it.

Very neat! I love the painted feathers, and hubby's scalp gave it an extra special touch!

Thanks, everyone!
Nancy,
I have a gallery up now, if you'd like to take a look. I don't have everything up, but I'm working on it. I'd sure like your opinion on the site navigation. WordPress isn't easy for me to work with. I prefer CMSes like Joomla.
