Medieval Norse Fossil Mammoth Ivory Nalbinding Needles

It's been awhile since we listed new fossil mammoth ivory nalbinding needles for sale. These beautifully crafted tools can now be found in our Big Cartel shop. We will be selling all of our fossil ivory items in this shop exclusively, so be sure and check in often to see what other fiber tools Dave has been making. You will find a handy tab at the top of this post that will take you directly to our Big Cartel shop. Thanks for checking it out!

3 1/2 Inch Medieval Norse Rune Wynn Fossil Mammoth Ivory Nalbinding Needle

Dave has hand carved this one of a kind 3 1/2 inch long nalbinding needle from fossil mammoth ivory. He has polished it to a smooth, glossy finish, and inlaid the Norse rune "Wynn" (also written as Wunjo) with pipestone. This rune is a symbol for joy or pleasure.

We're on Big Cartel!

We think we have found the perfect selling venue for our fossil ivory items! We had originally planned on selling directly from our blog, but having to have separate PayPal payments for each item just wasn't what we wanted for our customers. Enter Big Cartel! Jo had originally used the Grizzly Mountain Arts Big Cartel store for her earthenware jewelry, but it’s been sitting empty filling with cobwebs for some time now.

PayPal is still the payment method, but you can purchase multiple items and only have to check out once, and we've even added a direct link to our store on our Facebook page. Just look for the shopping cart with the word “Store” below it.

In the future, any other fiber art tools such as a spindle with fossil ivory inlay will also be sold at this store.  If you'd like to check it out now, simply click on the "GMA on Big Cartel" tab above.
