WendigoSlush flew around the car in brown chunks as the wheels spun. The little black sedan rocked back and forth tentatively before sinking back into the bank. Sarah rested her head against the steering wheel and started to cry.

"How Goddamned stupid am I?" she whispered to the dashboard. It was stupid, really. Most normal people would have taken one look out there window that morning and went back to bed. Sarah liked winter, really; even blizzards like these are kind of fun if you don't need to be anywhere. But Sarah had to be somewhere that day.

She pulled on her gloves and braced for the cold. The wind snagged the door out of her hands and y

Sins of manby ~CindarellaPop

Artisan Crafts / Leatherwork / Taxidermy

The use of headdresses and hides and animal parts by and large seems to be a mostly pagan phenomenon, and those that don't use it for pagan spirituality use it for secular purposes.

Now, I myself am not properly pagan though I do hold a few beliefs that might be considered pagan by some. I consider myself Christian and decided to have a go at incorporating pelts and furs into iconography from my own religion.

There are three crucifixes here, the largest holding a crucified squirrel. The squirrel was left flat except for his head, which has a clay center because otherwise his expression would be unreadable. The second one is made out of mink (marten?) paws from old stoles and coats, and the third smallest one is made out of stiff scrap leather from a red fox.

All three of these buggers perished on account of the fur trade. As Christ died for man's sins, these three died for man's sin as well, the sin of vanity. Or at least, that's what I'm telling my art teacher when I turn this in.

~FakeKraid Apr 22, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Looks like setting a curse on someone, what did your art teacher think of it? I think it looks good.
I'm kinda like that, grew up Christian but fascinated with Norse paganism. Also familiar a bit with several other stuff.
