New Fossil Ivory Jewelry


It's been awhile since we have had any fossil ivory jewelry for sale. We used to sell it at art shows here in Central Oregon and on Etsy, but now we are selling it exclusively in our Big Cartel store. We will be adding more pieces in the future.

New Ceramic Pendants on Etsy!


Just when we thought we had found the last stash of ceramic pendants, we found some more! In this latest stash there are several of our original Celtic Druid's Egg© pendants, one of our original design Buckquoy Blessing Stone© pendants and one remaining Norse rune pendant. These will be the last earthenware pendants I will have for sale as I am no longer making these. You can view the pendants currently for sale by visiting our Etsy shopFor our newer customers, I used to sell my earthenware pendants on Etsy as "Good Dirt Jewelry", but I decided several years ago to combine my shop with Dave's.

Sunday

New Handspinning Tools on Etsy


We will have an update to our Etsy shop tomorrow, Monday, at 2pm Pacific time that will include a carved moose antler spindle, four alternative ivory spindles and an acorn spindle. If our unreliable internet goes down we will post the new spindles as soon as possible. We are trying to get some last minute camping, fishing and other fun things like house painting done before winter arrives and this just works best for us. Until further notice, we will only be posting new items on Mondays.

Monday

New Alternative Ivory Support Spindles


These three support spindles are Dave's latest handspinning tools. They each feature an alternative ivory whorl that has been intricately carved with one of his signature motifs. The wood used for the shaft of each support spindle is katalox. These spindles have already been sold in our Grizzly Mountain Arts Etsy shop, but if you are interested in buying one, please join our Facebook group or our Ravelry group for updates on upcoming listings.


Sunday

Handi-Wind Wooden Tatting Shuttle©


Dave has specially designed this "Handi-Wind" tatting shuttle with a screw-in finger hold that aides in loading the shuttle without slipping out of your hand. It is particularly useful for tatters with arthritis and those who just have "all thumbs". To help keep track of the handle, Dave has added an eye and jump ring so it can be worn around the neck with a cord or ribbon.

This shuttle is 2 3/8 inches long and was handcrafted out of red leaf curly maple, and the handle is walnut. Dave has adorned one side of this shuttle with a pyrographed oak leaf and acorn.

Mini Brazilian Ebony and Jatoba Tibetan Support Spindle


The 1 3/8 inch whorl of this Tibetan style support spindle was crafted from Brazilian ebony. The 9 1/2 inch shaft and tip have been crafted from jatoba. The weight of this beautiful spindle is 1.1 oz. (30 grams).

When constructing his spindles, Dave mounts the spindle whorl blank on the shaft, and then turns and shapes the whorl and shaft together to achieve a well balanced spindle. In addition, he further spin balances each spindle by embedding a counterweight, when needed, in the whorl.
