Beadworx - Medicine Pouch Bag - Deer Skin- Desert Spirit

Description

Leather - Deer Skin - Medicine Bag - "Desert Spirit"

This medicine bag is handmade from real deer skin. It has a gorgeous rich, golden, brown coloring. It has a deerskin strap to wear around the neck, or to hang on a rear-view mirror, or any other place! Two straps are used for tying around the bag and securing closed. Straps are adorned with recycled glass beads in a variety of colors.

I have hand beaded a mandala design around a beautiful bone face. She represents the Spirit of the Desert. The colors I chose to represent the Desert are Deep Reds and Rusts for the Sedona Mountains, Turquoise for the Sky, and Rich Brown for the Earth.

Pouch measures 4 inches long by 2 and 1/4 inches wide. Neck straps measure 14 inches on each side, giving a wearable size of 28 inches total when tied.

I love collecting small things from nature in my own medicine pouch, so I am starting you off with a few things of your own in this pouch:

1 Bear fetish
1 Bird fetish
1 seashell
3 ghost beads (juniper berry beads)
1 bottle of Lavender pods
and a Sage leaf.

The Bear represents the protector as well as physical strength & leadership.
The Bird stands for justice, change, creativity, spiritual strength, and energy.
The Seashell represents the ocean and all the wonderful treasures found there, including the calm and peace that comes from the sea.
The Juniper Berry beads, or ghost beads were generally given to someone leaving on a journey, they are said to bring good luck and protect from evil spirits.
Lavender is a great healing herb, as well as having a very calming and lifting effect.
Sage is used in cleansing rituals among the Native American culture, it is said to keep negative spirits and feelings away. It also has many healing properties.


Happy Collecting!
