Super proud of this woman for working on her moose hides. She gave the wet scraped hide a good massage with the brain solution. She should be softening in a few days. Urban moose hide camp experience.

What a great Saturday morning🍂🍂🌕Moose hide ready to dry scrape, the wet scraped hide is dry and ready to rest until I could get back to it(translucent one). And one is getting smoked. I will pluck clean this road kill porcupine of quills while waiting. What a blessing to have this beautiful day.🌕💫🫎

Took a little break today from hides and beads, and went to check out the berry patch. Evee did not like walking around in the woods. I had to pick her up and move her to the blueberry bushes. Many berries on the ground and they are soft. I loved being out…💫⭐️🫐🫐🫐 I love the colors of fall!!🍁🍂🧡 What is your favorite season?

Taking a pause to think about the fill work on this piece. Using size 11 seed beads. The smoked brain tanned moose hide is easy to bead on. It is 2.5”x20”, which makes it a possible regalia headband or belt piece.
Rainy days and insomnia beading.
