Earth Goods 4 The Spirit: Paleo Pre Contact Sock Monkey

Sold Buffalo Tooth Necklace

I created a beautiful Chieftan Collar from Buffalo Bison Teeth in July of this year that was not only well received, it recently sold leaving a big hole in my heart and jewelry case.

Not to worry, I had some beads set by and some white teeth that I also had also seen in my dreams so I stayed up all night to create my second Buffalo tooth necklace, I only hope it hangs around long enough to enjoy for a while!

I had some marvelous Graduated Turquoise I had found in an Old Traders shop this summer and some lovely original Baby Chief trade beads that just cried out to be included in this necklace, (at 2am, thank goodness I keep a notebook by the bed!).

I love the cool colors in contrast to the previous necklace, this one would look lovely on a Ladies neck, as well as a mans!

The Turquoise Nugget necklace is free floating in the center for added motion and appeal.

The Mother of Pearl heishi beads are the finest quality!

I finished it off with some Hill tribe silver beads at the large pewter clasp to really mix up the tribal design. The listing for this quality tribal collar is HERE. I include the description of the listing below for your perusal.

Paleo Sock Monkey Surveys his strange modern surroundings

One Armed Monkey with a blank stare

Not all Historical Projects have to be serious, sometimes a little irreverence can be good for you and that's just what this project is, a light look at what a Pre Contact Sock Monkey may have looked like.

My Son David and his Lovely Lady Jennifer were coming to visit and they have a small collection of sock monkeys that we consider family. Since Jennifer had never met me before, I wanted to get across to her just what it is that I do, without spending hours showing her piles and reams of paperwork research and generally boring the hell out of her.

I have made a few genuine sock monkeys in my time so it wasn't too hard to cut out the pattern, but darned if it didn't take just as long to hand sew, stuff and adorn as a real sized dress!

Note the Perfect Solstace Sun Calendar Shell Pendant!

All Thanks to my Husband who went outside and fabricated an authentic Shell Tipped Spear for "Linky", (Referring to him being the "Missing Link"), and the Beady Shell eyes, hammering out copper arm band, (I love this man!) and actually carving a shell pendant for him!

Naked Monkey!

It was hard to let him go home with Dave and Jen, but that's the way raising Kids is, they belong to the future and you just have to let them go on to their own lives!
