PowWow was oh wow!

So far away, My mind flies to the moon.
Far, far away, I can see what happens soon.
And what's most important.

Oh man the pow wow was great! I had some great fry bread and even got a RECIPE! There weren't as many traders as I was looking forward to but I did pick up a few things, some bob cat hide, a few weasel pelts and skulls, a few sage bundles along with some fresh cedar!!! I got fresh hibiscus, echinechia, and chamomile. I bought a set of antlers and some goat horns as well.
I sat with some of the drummers and heard a very cool story that I'll be doing a piece for. Fox and Coyote piece :> I'm excited to start on that! And I met another local trapper, so that's a new resource to pick up bones! :D
I sold a few pieces of jewelry, mostly bracelets, I'm always glad to spread my art around! It's always exciting to get rid of old pieces, it really gives me more drive to create new things.
I'm sorry I couldn't get those updates on FB, I had no signal out in York, I should've known >.>
I think I'll take my camera with me next time I go to the trading post and get some pictures of items they usually have in stock in case anyone wants me to ship out supplies.

I'm glad no one actually sent me money because there weren't a lot of vendors that had plain hides, bones or feathers this time, and a lot of food vendors though ^.^
Either people are lying about how many coyotes there are in the wild or they're insainly smart about staying away from roads. I personally never see coyotes. Not alive, not dead, not at night, not in the mornings, not never. I live in very rural Indiana, I would assume they're everywhere by how everyone bitches about them but I'll be damned if I have ever seen a single live coyote in the 15 years I've lived here.
To be frank, I think these hicks are morons. They complain about coyotes killing calfs and deer and go out of their way to trap and kill them but the ones who keep doing it are actually wild dogs. I do see those fuckers all the time an they are not friendly.
I agree totally with you cause in my area, they say there are there and we live with alot of woods around us, but yet I see no wild animal in site or of the sort...it tickes me off cause I'd like to take natural pictures of it for reference as well as possibly hoping that it might be harmed (hopefully, that's not as bad as I made it cause I only want one).
I wanted one off those skulls to possibly make into a representation of my grandfather who will be passing soon. I know that you can't get a wolf skull where I am unless there is a pretty price involved, but I would like to have it cleaned and such so I could draw and do my art on it for him in respect to him when he passes.
I wish sometimes that I know the kills that farmer has down the road would be able t be given to me and I'd take it to get it cleaned and tided up.
YOU SHOULD LET ME KNOW BOUT THAT *pokes pokes*
Because out here, specifically where I live at, whenever you say HEY KNOW ANYWHERE WHERE I CAN GET SOME FRESH *insert herb here*? they look at you like you've grown a third head.
I have a lot of farmers markets and flea markets I go to, if you're mobile I'd totally be down to meet up sometime, Check out my facebook if you have one, I can totally show you a few things.
What sort of oils/herbs have you been trying to get?
lar blar blar rambling. ^^
I probably won't be able to travel down anytime soon ( money's tight atm and my car is a whiney little thing) but that soulds great!
I've checked out all the farmers markets around here: nothing but cooking herbs. It's incredibly disappointing.
