Brain tanned quiver/beaded otter hide
BowEd:
Thanks fellas.It may seem like old hat displaying these things to some but if it can inspire someone to take up the work it is more rewarding then.It's not everybodys cup of tea though.
Another winter time project....A while back I poked a rambunctious otter trying to eat the fish in my pond.It's a problem around here many pond owners have.They will clean out a normal 1/2 acre pond in a month no problem.Especially people who stock their ponds.I fleshed and tanned him in the tube shape.Lined him with wool trade cloth and beaded him up.I stick my blunt arrows there to store.
The majority of the beadwork is done with red/white heart background with pony trader blue and greasy yellow designs.Rather large beads used.No.8 pony beads' size to cover more area quicker.All sioux lazy stitched.
selfbow joe:
Beautiful work. Really like the quiver.
bjrogg:
Ed you are a inspiration for sure. You do top shelf work and I love the style and use of materials. That's pretty cool how if I see it right you did the bead work on the leather side of otters tail.
Thanks for posting

Outstanding :OK ! Bob
AndrewS:
Really nice quivers.
I personally don't like to to beadwork, that is not compatible with my fingers. You have done a very fine job.
