I don’t do a lot of posting about my art here on my blog because I usually like to keep it a “What’s Lupa thinking about today?” space. However, today’s theme on my various social media spots has been “How have these not found new homes yet?” where I’ve been highlighting a few older pieces of artwork that are still looking for their perfect match, and I thought I’d share here, too.
This gorgeous, 13″ diameter horse hide drum is painted with a Przewalski’s horse galloping across a grassy steppe, with ancient European cave painted horses looking on from the sky. The drum and its accompanying beater may be purchased at https://www.etsy.com/listing/121011677/13-thirteen-inch-diameter-real-raw-hide
Here’s one of the first air plant terrariums I made, using an old faux-bronzed baby shoe on a wooden stand that I found at a thrift store. It even comes with two Tillandsia air plants! At https://www.etsy.com/listing/175675838/hand-painted-vintage-baby-shoe-terrarium
Fox and coyote tails are popular, but how often do you get to see a wearable cow tail? This lovely pale tail is on a hand-braided leather belt made from part of an old coat, and is available at https://www.etsy.com/listing/198236569/real-whitedun-cow-totem-dance-tail-on
This beautiful decorated wolverine headdress is inspired by an animal myth I wrote a few years ago, “How Wolverine Devoured the Sun”, which you can read at https://therioshamanism.com/2011/11/29/how-wolverine-devoured-the-sun/. And if you’d like to give this headdress a home it’s for sale at https://www.etsy.com/listing/87376415/wolverine-headdress-real-wolverine-fur
It’s not just a shell–it’s a book! I made this tiny book with shells from a thrift store, filled with paper I made by hand from recycled junk mail, and on a hand-braided cord so you can carry this little journal with you. Bring it home at https://www.etsy.com/listing/185240261/real-scallop-shell-cover-book-with
