Thebes point made from a spall of Novaculite. This was one of the most important and largest exploited sources of lithium material in ancient America. For good reason too, it’s easy to knap and comes in a wide range of colors.

Braintanning is one of the oldest methods for preserving animal skin. Transforming it from raw unusable state that would rot into a beautiful, soft, tanned material. It’s ideal for clothes, moccasins, bags, pouches, quivers, purses, journals, etc. During the 18th and 19th centuries it was a highly valued commodity that was an important source of revenue for the early American economy. The preservation process is an all natural organic method that doesn’t rely on harmful chemicals. Creating it is a physically demanding process where one deer sized skin can take about 20 hours to preserve. This particular pouch is made from deerskin and is hand stitched. It’s just one more way to show respect to the animals you harvest and use every possible part of them.

Look what came in!! Prints of some of my (Keara Harp) favorite paintings, photography, and sketches I have done over the years. The prints are 8x10 and 4x6. All of the photos are matte. The original paintings are all oil on canvas, the sketches were either graphite or ink, and the photograph was taken with Kathleen Klunk’s help at the St. Louis Botanical Gardens in black and white.

This is a journal and pencil case that we had commissioned by a customer for a gift to his wife 😊. He asked us to wait until after Christmas to posts this so as not to spoil the surprise. Thanks again for the business! We love our customers and local community. Have a happy and safe New Year everybody! ✌️❤️
