Very cool Zuma, what all was used to make it? I know they are animal parts but from what animals?
She does some nice work on her bags. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Beautiful bag!  Now for the zillion questions:  How do you cure/tan the hooves/tail? Does she shave the hair to do the interior stitching?  And more pictures for more angels.  Yep, I like this bag a lot.

Thanks guys,
I wish I did the work, any of it. All I did was s aquire the hides and get Helena to do her magic.
I had the idea if that counts.
The hides were scraps from a taxidermist and were finished hooves tails and all.
I only have the one photo. I will get more pics later on, when I return home.
I haven't actually seen the bag in person as yet.

Helena also made me some knife sheaths.
Not the best photo she tells me.
