Kachina Gourd
This gourd is actually made out of two gourds. The
facial features are wood burned in & colored in with
various colored leather dyes.
The headdress & the necklace are out of small peacock body feathers & a golden buckskin. The necklace also has brass beads attached. This same design is on the
back side for a 360 degree viewing. This is one of
my favorites that I am offering to you! This piece is 10"
by 4".

Alabaster Stone Gourd With Bear Fetish
The finish in this gourd is a spray stone type finish in alabaster white. I have added a decorative sinew with large seed beads. I painted the turquoise broken arrow on the white stone bear. The sinew goes through small drilled holes to hold the bear on secure.
Measures 6" tall and about 7 1/2" wide.
Price: $79.00 Sold
Feather And Concho Gourd
This is my most popular gourd! I can hardly keep up with making them. Yes, this is one that if it sells I can make another one. As a matter of fact I usually have two made
up at a time. So if you like it & this one is sold I can send you a picture of the next one or two made up. It has the pheasant feather fan front with an antiqued gold concho. The beads are antiqued gold, redish brown glass and bone.
I have natural rough edged saddle buckskin around the top along with a braided finish on the top (I can do a feather edge around the top if you think you would like it better than the braid). This one here has a real nice shape and is a nice thick one also.
Measures 6" tall and about 7 1/2" wide.
Price: $68.00 Sold... I make many of these & can make another one for you!
Another Leather & Feather Concho Gourd
This is the same as above except a little smaller. More tall & thin looking. Beads are black glass & copper. It has a real nice copper concho It is 6" tall & 6" wide. It has a leather covered ring to place on since the bottom of the gourd is a bit to round to sit.
Price: $59.00 Sold
Turtle And Feather Gourd
This gourd has a nice swing curve cut into it that made it nice to add the pheasant feathers and ceramic turtle at the end of it. There are date palm stalks used on the curve attached with natural color sinew. It has what I would call
a very earthy look to it.
It measures 8" tall and about 7 1/2" wide.
Price: $69.00 Sold

Kokopelli Tall Gourd
Remember the ole' fabric paint tee shirts?? Well this is the same idea only on a gourd! This is a design in fabric that I have glued on & then put fabric paint on in black & copper! It has metal copper beads and black glass beads. There is an antler rosette with the beads hanging off some black deerskin strands & large peacock wing feather. I did not know peacocks had brown feathers but this is what I was told. If anyone knows different please let me know. Anyway, it is a very pretty feather! The very top of the gourd has a cut out design with a thin black leather braid. It is 16 1/4" tall & 6 1/2" wide!! Very striking piece.
Price: $105.00 Sold
Feather Gourd With Chrysocolla Cabochon
Loads of feathers on this very, very pretty gourd. The feathers are peacock & hackle feather that go all the way around this pretty large gourd. The front area has a fancy design with a real chrysocolla cabochon center. The feathers go from a rust, cream & black mix into a deep red almost burgandy (it's not as red as the picture came out) & cream around the side & back. There is leather braiding around the top back side. It is colored with a rust leather dye. The gourd is 8" tall & about 9 1/2"" wide.
Price: $ 89.00
Gourd Rattle
I used the whole gourd to make this rattle. There is a hole cut in the top to clean it out, add pebbles & then sealed with a very large antler rosette. It measures 2" itself! The bear design is on both sides. The handle is covered in a light buckskin stitched on with sinew & fringed at the bottom. Then I added glass & brass beads. The feathers are molted parrot & macaw. Molted meaning naturally dropped. The gourd is 17" long, 22" with the fringe & feathers. The ball top is about 4" wide.
Price: $75.00
