O____O That is one beautiful piece of craftsmanship... Seriously, I'm glad people with the skills and patience to do something like this still exist. The details on the painting and colours are so beautiful. You did a damn fine purchase my friend, how much did it cost anyway?

60 dollars but it was worth it. She was very nice and told me all the details of it...... I had to have it the second I saw it..... it was the most intricate painting she had. She had an amzing carving of a wolf done in a large log..... it was so amazing but it was like two hundred dollars and really really heavy.

Unreal! Man, um, you know how many hours went into that thing? Oy, artists truly are the most underpaid stiffs around!

no idea on how many hours truly went into it but the craftmanship is amazing so it had to be abit

I think it's the wrong artists getting all the money. Like those guys that splatter paint on a canvas?

I'm not bagging on abstract or anything but I know what deserves recognition and this is something I can tell had a lot of care put into it. That's a very lucky find and you bought it for a steal! I'm so jealous!

I wouldn't feel too bad about the rabbit fur. The meat was probably not wasted. Even a wolf's gotta eat...

I'm far too rural to breast-beat about a few rabbits, or deer, or anything like that. We're all worm-food eventually.

And as for the arts thing... AAARRGGHH! Must.. limit.. rant!

NAMES Euch! This guy gets awards heaped on his shit because he is who he is but without his name his work is worth absolutely squat! "Signatures of the Sun" with a pretentious little chamber quartet piece based on four pictures. Oh Jesus shit-balls give me a break! By the way Joe... that shit is simple. But keep practicing man and someday you'll figure out how to get color in it like I do! *lol*

I'm not sure I would have been able to pass on that carving, even if I had to beg, borrow or steal.

oh trust me it was hard to resist but I didn't have the money and woulda felt horrible stealing from her

I didn't mean from her, lol. I'm an honest guy, really. Besides, it would be hard to steal a huge hunk of wood.

yeah twas about 3 or 4 feet long and a foot in diameter

Wow, $60 very well spent. This is awesome looking!

Wow, NICE! :D

That's amazing. I'd have gotten in too, in a heartbeat. <3

yeah it struck my eye and I just had to grab it It was an honor to meet and talk to the woman and nice to see that there are still native americans who follow their old ways

The old ways exactly, so don't feel bad about po lil critter. This respect for the dead thing is a human invention, animals truly don't give a shit what happens to them after they die. Hunting is natural, they hunt, we hunt, and we're all worm-food eventually.

Don't feel bad about the animals used to make it. Indians only kill when they need to and use everything they can from that animal, nothing goes to waste... I should know seeing as how I'm Native American mehself...

I know my family is Native American but I'm not much of one myself

Oh! Awesome, do you know what tribe? I'm Ojibwe.

Choctaw I live in Oklahoma theres alotta tribes here

I live in Minnesota, eh? Idk on how many are around here though...

ahhh cool
