Just the wolf headdress

Description

(Needed a single pic of this headdress--you might have seen the montage [link] from a little while ago.)

Layaway is available for this item; please contact me for details!

Materials: Wolf skin, leather

Description: A classic gray wolf, this beautiful skin came to me with all of his paws and claws intact, a beautiful tail--and a sadly smushed head! I took the time to reshape his face and ears and add in detailing, stitch up some holes all over him, and brush out his pretty fur. I then added straps so he may be worn--one set ties under the chin; a second (the main weight bearer) ties his forelegs over the wearer's chest so most of the weight is carried on the shoulders, not the throat; as third set ties the back legs to the wearer's legs. He is a HUGE, gorgeous wolf, 70" long from tip of nose to tip of tail, and a really, really nice hide in general. He would fit most people; I am 5'4", for the record, and the picture shows how he fits on me.

I've put a lot of work into this guy, and he's not just some skin that someone tied a couple of straps to and called it good! If you want a really nice totem dance hide, complete from nose to tail to tips of claws, he's your guy :) Great energy to him, too, as I was working with him. He's ready for sacred dance and ritual, totemic work, and more!

I can also add details, such as my signature fangs, or other decor, for additional cost for materials and labor--customization is my specialty, so feel free to ask :) I guarantee the workmanship on all my masks and other headdresses, and should this ever need reshaping or other repair, I will do it free of charge!

I created my first full skin totem dance costume (which I still have!) in 2002, and have created many in the years since then. Not content with just a chin strap, I developed unique systems of straps to distribute the weight more evenly. This was not taught to me; rather, I have developed my techniques independently through trial and error, as well as years of skindancing myself. As with all my creations, this costume has been purified as a part of my shamanic practice and is ready for ritual work.

Price: $500
