I've got all sorts of art supplies coming my way very soon. I also have something unexpected: You know those wolf masks made out of wolf skins? Those are all well and good but how often do you see one made of something else?

Well, in a week or so I'll have a cougar-mask up in the shop. It was being sold by a tannery for repairs to taxidermy mounts and has a few holes in it but after I patch up the face and reshape it, it'll make a very unique mask.

In addition to this I'll also have a genuine amber pendant with bugs and spiders in it, all the way from the Jurassic period; a cave bear molar from a giant prehistoric bear over 10,000 years old, and a gorgeous black and smooth piece of iron meteorite from the cold depths of space.

I'll also have some pendants made from mammoth ivory. I need to set aside the best piece from the ivory lot for my dad because I promised him I'd scrim him something nice; but other than that I'll have at least four pieces up for grabs.

Sale won't be until the end of the week or the beginning of next week, the stuff isn't here yet and I'll need a few days to actually make everything into pendants and get it dried and wire-wrapped. Stay tuned.
