bear claw necklace
« on: December 19, 2016, 08:35:27 PM »
As a Christmas gift for my son I made a necklace using the claws from a bear I shot this fall, a few elk ivories and the canines from an old bear skull. I used gemstone beads, wire and a clasp that I got at Ben Franklin. Today I finished the display plaque and thought I'd post it and show you how it turned out. Merry Christmas - Rick
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

In November U.S. manufacturing contracted for the the ninth consecutive month. Layoffs across the economy are higher than anytime since the pandemic in 2020 and I just read that the Midwest farmers will be receiving a 12B bailout due to 50 year trade relationships being destroyed. I have to admit that I was a sceptic and didn't believe in the effectiveness in tariffs but I'm a believer now.

Cool looking, both of them. I made one a few years back, plan on making another for the boy here shortly. This gave me some good ideas.

Merry Christmas.

Very cool.  My wife made me one for our wedding gift.  Check out snake vertebrae beads. They look great with the bear claws too. 

Well done!
