And one more piece. It has been done for a while now, but I have been trying to photograph it. Not so easy to photograph something that is about 2″ inches wide and 7 feet tall.
For reference, I stand mostly eye-to-eye with the “skull” bone. The middle pheasant feather stand about seven foot tall from the floor…
The beaded strands hanging from the “skull” (which I believe is a cow’s vertebrae) are chock full of bells, spirit bells, gold stone, citrine, carnelian, hematite, bone, three colors of horn, shell, wood, rosewood and glass beads. and are mostly capped off with bells or feathers…
Yay! for the madness that takes me each year.
