Artwork: Tengu

[hermeticdog]

Materials: Real crow foot, harvested legally in the UK, shiny reflective metallic charm, pietersite magatama, all strung on a gunmetal metallic chain with lobster clasp.

Concept: Tengu is the crow-goblin of Japan. Sometimes a kami, sometimes an evil spirit, sometimes a force of nature, like a thunderstorm (I thought the pietersite would mix well with this). There are many things that could be said or written about the tengu.

Price: $20.00, price includes shipping.

To be posted on Etsy later, when I'm feeling a little less like ass. Also, if you feel like you know anyone who might be interested in this, feel free to pass along.

*gasp* This is GORGEOUS. It's another one of those pieces that goes ZOMG MIEN. But, we don't want to hoard them all....we got the last ZOMG MIEN piece.

But we must say-work VERY well done!

Well, if no one else claims it, and you feel you must have it, I can go ahead and hold it for you and forgo putting it on etsy. I have many other feet I plan on working with, so this isn't the only one.

I DO hope your rook wing arrived safely? I mailed it over a week ago.

Oh yeah, where are my manners--thank you very much for the compliment. It feels good that people feel that way about my work.

Crap, where are MY manners, I completely forgot to make a "ZOMG I GOT IT EEE" post! I got it about three days after you said you sent it, and xie is WONDERFUL. Xie's got a very interesting temperament, I find. Really intriguing to me. And, of course, xie arrived quite safely. You did a damn good job on wrapping, as the envelope xie was wrapped in was between a couple boxes in the apartment office cupboard, and still there was absolutely no damage. :-)

I'm fiddling around with incense and such to see what xie is fond of, as dragon's blood was recieved with "meh". I'm hoping xie'll eventually give me xir name, as well, but haven't gotten that far yet.

By the by-xie wanted on my greek altar. No clue why yet, but. Yeah. Possibly useless (or, respectively, interesting) random piece of information for you. ;-)

And...hrm. That is a tempting offer. Umm...sure, I'll say go with that, the saving it if no one else calls dibs. :-) Thank you!

I'm really glad to hear this! I'd love to comment more on it, but I'm totally bombed out and dragging myself to bed. Needless to say, I am very pleased it found a loving and respectful home with you.

I also posted the Tengu piece up on the shop site, along with a Rook feather smudging fan you might like. No one seems to've called dibs on it yet, so it's pretty much whoever gets to it first at this point.

Thanks so much again, and hope you develop something great with this!

Keep us posted on when you have it up...seriously tempted for my mate's best friend (who's been working with and studying Tengu for about a year now).

Ah...replying to this late and see someone else is interested - since we're largely broke right now, go with the first offer. :) OH - and we received the coyote totem necklaces and they're just as spectacular as I expected - thank you!!!

Well, vrisanfra did say if someone else was interested first, and I do allow for layaways for people on this list. I'm never in too much of a rush to sell all my stuff, so I can hold it. I will also be making other pieces featuring bird claws, with varying themes. Anyway, let meknow!
