Bear paw bag

[Nifeman]

Here's a new one...A lady asked Miss Tudy to make a bag/purse for her from an old bear hide that her late father had killed some 40 yrs ago. She made the bag from antelope hide and and overlayed the front with the bear skin. Then she fasioned the flap with the paw (claws attached) and used the antelope to overlay it with a cutout.Then she finished it with a clay bear bead that's been blessed by a Cherokee man who made it and a bone medallion that Tudy made.
Once again thanks for looking and hope y'all lke it, Bud and Miss Tudy

Miss Tudy as my ole Daddy used to say, "you are a woman after me own heart"!
When I think I have seen about all of your best work, your work seems to get even more better!
I really like that bag. I can even put a story to almost automatically.

"You see this here scar Pilgrim, well lets just say he won't be doing that no more,......as the old timer turned and holds up his possible bag, with a big grin"!!!!!!! :grin:

Bud I have told yo before I believe you got a keeper there!
