Artwork: Tengu





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.

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!
