Here is the leaf mask that I made for the god, and the very amateur
goddess doll. She is made from a pillow case. I used fabric markers to
add the
color. She has ivy leaves (like the god mask), half-moon trinkets, keys
on her hands, and moonstones. Now, here is where it gets unique and
personal
to me: she is stuffed with moss, dried mint, dried lavender, dried
basil, and dried rose petals. I grew, harvested, and dried some things a
few years
back, just for the experience. I am including a picture of a fox that is
stuffed...he sits in my living room. The fox was actually
road-kill...lol.
Behind him you may be able to see a collection of frogs, one of my totem
animals. Anyway, I hope you like!
Blessed Be,
Pattie

The energy coming through the pictures is amazing. Well done. Did you wire-wrapped the moonstones yourself, as well? My wire-wrapping technique is abysmal! Don't know why I think this, but the fox's spirit may be very pleased to be the model.
Thank you...I did not do the wire wrapping, I had ordered them several years back and wore them for a while as necklaces. I, too, think the fox spirit feels that way!

Hello sister.....my father's grandmother was Shawnee. I never found this out until after my father passed away many years ago....to him what ever dealt with the past was of no importance..the present and future were all he cared about. He would also reply "he didn't know" if you asked any questions about his ancestors..or he would say "doesn't matter..not important..they're long gone". My uncle finally did the research as he didn't know anything about his ancestors either (he was the baby of the family and they were long gone before he was born).....the only thing he knew was the stories his mother told him about her side of the family...she never talked about my grandfather's side. Her family came here from Ireland and Scotland...most were "dirt poor" except for one uncle and he made them enter through the servants entrance when they visited.
