I Am Open for Custom Work!

Over the years I have been asked to create a variety of custom pieces. These have ranged everywhere from wall hangings unique to the buyer to one of a kind leather and fur pouches, and then some! Plus further down the page you'll see some projects that I can pretty easily customize. Here are a few things to keep in mind when requesting custom work:

What do I want (pouch, bone knife, antler runes/ogam, etc?)
How much do I want to pay? (This is VERY important, as it gives me an idea of how elaborate I can get and what sort of materials I can use. Also, I can suggest certain options for slightly higher or lower price brackets.)
What do I want it made of?
What size do I want the project to be?
What colors do I want incorporated?
What other decorations do I want?
Is there a particular theme/animal/etc. I want?
Do I have a particular timeframe or deadline I need this by?

If interested, please feel free to note me! More information on custom work can be found here: [link]

Yes, I AM open for commissions! Note me with your ideas and requests! Specializing in making vague ideas turn into very real art :)

I'm an artist, nonfic author, and wannabe polymath living in Portland, OR. I'm a neoshaman and neopagan, polyamorous, geeky, and outdoorsy. I make stuff out of animal remains, beads, and other such things as part of my spiritual practice (and FWIW, I am 100% European mutt, so none of my work can be considered Native American). I'm also entirely self-taught; I took a few art classes in high school and college, but they were really basic and dealt more with traditional media like painting and drawing.

I sell most of what I make; if you're interested in what's currently available, please wander over to [link] (you can also find my books on pagan and magical topics there, too!)

I created :iconnothingbuttails: and :iconpaganritualtools:.

Okay, folks. I was wrong. I'm not quite out of copies of the now out-of-print A Field Guide to Otherkin. Turns I had one more that I missed (that's it up in the picture). Rather than put it up to the highest bidder or somesuch, I'm going to do a giveaway—I'll be posting it here, on Facebook, on Google Plus, on Tumblr, and on Twitter.

So how do you enter the giveaway? Simply share a link to this post on your journal (and leave a comment here so I know you did it!). You don't have to follow me, though you're welcome to, and I tend to follow people back—I post/reblog a mix of animal and other nature pics, dead critter art, links to my blog posts on pagan/etc. topics,  and every now and then some bit of feminist or other social commentary. Just as a side note—I don't identify as a therian any more (here's why: [link] ), and I don't write about the topic, either, but you can still follow if you do :)

So share this link by noon, Pacific Standard Time, on Monday, June 17, and comment here to let me know where you shared it. After that point I'll randomly pick one person from one of these social media sites as the winner of this last copy of the above book, which'll be the last signed copy I ever offer up.

(And if you don't want to wait around and just want to get a not-signed copy, Amazon still has a few copies left in their warehouse [link] . Not sure if I believe the "five left" number, but as you will.) The publisher, Immanion Press [link] , also has a bunch left in stock, and they're selling them at a discount.)

If I were to offer workshops (for a reasonable fee) online, such as on Second Life or a chatroom, what of the following topics would interest you the most? (Am also planning in-person workshops here in Portland.)

I can't beleave I found you on here. I'm a customer from Etsy and bought a black fox fur died mask and tail a few months ago, and currently loving them! And this is perfect because I have a question for you. I try to treat the fur as kindly as possible but they are used for a role play and they have gotten wet due to the major flooding and rain this year. When wet the top corners get floppy. I was curious if you think it would work to replace the string tie with a peace of headband and attach a peace of head band to each top corner of the mask and have them connect in the middle so that when wet the leather won't flap forward? I'm mostly worried that I might harm the mask.

Many thanks--I'm glad you've been enjoying them so much!

It's better to not wear fur things out in the rain if possible; it tends to make it more likely to rot.

I would like to ask have you experienced feeling an energy or power emitting the pelt or bones of the animals you work with? it is just that about a year ago i prayed and thanked my totem, and the next day a boy brought in a gray fox pelt, and when I touched it I felt this tingling sensation that traveled thru out my body. I wondered if anyone else felt that sensation.

:iconlupagreenwolf:
Yes, it's a big part of my spiritual practice. You can read about my work with the spirits in the skins and bones here: [link]

Let me know if you have any other questions :)
