Description (Click the pics for bigger versions and better detail!)

Materials: Coyote skin, leather, acrylic paint

Description: This is a 'yote of a different color! He's a brilliant red, very much like a red fox in tone, with a lovely pelt. When I got him his legs were missing, and his poor muzzle had a big chunk missing out of the end. I stitched him back together, and he was happier not having a hole in his nose! He also wanted just a tiny bit of extra embellishment, so I did a bit of additional painting around his eyes.

He measures 55" from tip to tip, and he has straps to tie him on at the chin and waist/hips. he's a rather happy, good-natured spirit who has taken the rough spots in his life (and afterlife) in stride. He'd be a good dancing skin for dancers of all experience levels and abilities, though he has a fierce, protective streak, which would make him a good companion for journeying and other spiritual work.

Price: $215

What are the purpose of dance skins during rituals?

To be able to connect both to the spirit of the skin, and the totem of the species. This can be for getting help with spiritual or magical pursuits, or "shapeshifting" in which your perception becomes more like that of the animal you're dancing.

many thanks! The short version is soak it in water for a bit, let it drip dry, reshape it and form is over something (even balled-up newspapers) to help it hold its shape, and let dry.

I have a red coyote soft mount. She is so spunky and full of personality! I have to imagine that is how your red boy would be. Honestly I wish I had the cash for him, as I have been looking for a companion for her. (I know, a well-worn statement!)

I definitely hope he goes to a good home.
