Red-colored wolf headdress

Description

Materials: Wolf skin, leather, coyote teeth

Description: Most of the wolf headdresses I make are with larger hides; they're versatile, but sometimes we smaller people can feel a little engulfed! This one's more compact; the hide came from a younger wolf, and is a nice option for those who want a full hide wolf headdress without having to wear a giant!

The coloration is absolutely stunning on this one; the pictures don't show the gorgeous reddish hues and deep black markings nearly well enough. he has all his claws; his back feet were just a little too weak for straps, but they hang nicely pendant-style. His forelegs cross over the wearer's chest and take on most of the weight, making him very easy to wear. And the chin straps hold his head on nicely, too. I even added fangs (coyote teeth, not wolf).

Again, this is the smallest wolf in the batch, at 65" long from tip to tip. Whether for a younger or shorter (or both!) dancer, he'd be a wonderful little wolf to include in rituals, celebrations, sacred theater and more!

Curious, and I hope you take no offense from this, but would you ever be willing to sell these to those of us into costuming and cosplay?

I understand these have traditional and spiritual meaning(Trust me on this), but at the same time from a costuming perspective I LOVE the look of them. I think they'd especially be interesting for, say, a faun partial fursuit(Which happens to be a project I'm currently working on).
