Male Lion Tagua Pendant by Foxfeather R. Zenkova

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:05:29 -0000

Here is a custom designed glyph - finally, a male lion! I've had this guy in my head for awhile, it was really good to finally let him out. The actual pendant is much smaller than this image - about 1 3/4" diameter. I do have lion pendants like this (each one is handmade and unique) available through my online shop: http://foxloft.com/store/tagua/pendant/Lion Custom inquiries welcomed! Lion Totem Symbolism: Self-control, strength, nobility. Fairness, courage, patience. Lion people tend to be charismatic, prideful, protective, and peaceful unless challenged. They are very tactical, well aware of their own strengths and weaknesses, able to judge a situation and act to their best advantage through wit and skill. A lion totem can teach us to be a better leader and the importance of balancing work with family time and relaxation.

Bohemian Bearcat Brew by Foxfeather R. Zenkova

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 08:14:09 -0000

As a gift for our two year wedding anniversary, I decided to try my hand at brewing. I made my husband homemade root beer, and it actually worked! It was quite an adventure (I've never done anything remotely like that before) and I was so pleased it actually turned out well. Carbonated and not exploded! I also made this label for him. The original itself is painted in acrylics and india ink. The text on the bottom of the label is a bit of a joke - it's my attempt at translating 'root beer' into Czech. Rampant binturongs make me happy inside. :)

Prayer Feathers by Foxfeather R. Zenkova

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:56:51 -0000

A few photos of prayer feathers I made this month. What's a prayer feather? In a nutshell, many native american cultures believe birds to be sacred - able to fly between this world and the spirit world. The prayer feather is meant to hold a prayer or a wish and to be hung in a window (by those little fringey straps at the bottom). Then a bird will see the feather, collect the prayer, and bring it to the heavens. Wild turkey feathers, deerskin, rabbit fur, and mustang hair.

Shoulda Got a Garmin by Foxfeather R. Zenkova

Another little piece for the MFF webpage (www.furfest.org) - their theme this year is an awesome one - 'North to Alaska'! This canadian goose may seem happy, but he really should have invested in that new GPS his wife was nagging him about. Who knows where he'll end up?
