Description They're not actually brothers (one is from mainland Alaska, the other from the Arctic Circle), but they are nearly exactly the same size, and look very similar in color.

Both fit me perfectly, but I'm not sure which I'll use as my personal headdress yet. I'm soaking the face of the orange-ish one right now, and will mount it later tonight. When it dries, I'll remove it from the form and do the next one.

One will be used for Burning Man, the other will be listed for sale on Etsy.

I've recently been asked to be co-runner of a theme camp for this year's Burn. The camp will have a tribal jungle theme to it with numerous massive totem poles depicting animals which represent Fertility. Toward the end of the week, we'll have a massive bonfire and I'll host a 'transformation' dance, in which participants can be painted and wear masks and headdresses, and simply let loose.

I'll be making a bear headdress for my boyfriend, which I can give to him when he gets back from training 6 months from now. I'll probably have to teach him to dance in a headdress (it's harder than it seems!), and he'll have to get over the whole "I feel ridiculous" factor. But he's good at embracing Bear, so I have little worry about it being too awkward for him. The beauty in headdresses is that animals, unlike humans, have little concern for social rights and wrongs, so it's easier to be yourself.

NOTE: I did not kill these wolves, nor were they purchased from anyone who did. If you don't like it, don't look.

That left one looks perfect for it...just has more personality and fire.

This may sound silly but the one one the left has more a personality then the one on the right .

Personally, I'd be more inclined to the left one. There's something in that thick mane and pale face that's both charming and comforting.

You know which one you're keeping yet?

Looking all these beautiful wolves makes my eyes almost hurt. I hope so badly it could be possible for me to get a wolf headdress sometime in my life. But it seems to be something from hard to impossible.
Maybe I should consider getting a coyote, but then again, I'm not too sure if we would fit together when coyotes aren't found from our country. I know how local animals behave, which kind of creatures they are, they are familiar to me. But coyotes are not.

Only seen one or two of those! You'd be lucky to find one for a reasonable price.

Yeah, this is true. It's on my list of "things to get when I have a real job," ha.

Wow.. I love the more orange-y colored one, but I also like the other's back markings! This, I can imagine, will be very hard for you to choose between the two..

Good luck! They're both so beautiful now, I can't wait to see them finished.

Not sure how on Earth I'm going to decide. I'll probably just meditate on it some more.

Well, best of luck to you ♥

I personally think the orangey one fits you for his colors.. but then.. the other has such unique markings that fit you, too I guess you'll find out once you spend one on one time with them when they're all mounted up..
