Seven new Druid's Egg ceramic pendants were listed in our Etsy shop recently. These are our smaller, one inch long pendants, and are sold with a suede cord. We thought we had sold all of them, but a small stash was found in one of our art show storage containers! I think we need to look through those again to see what else we may have forgotten. If you'd like to see these new pendants, please click the link above, or use the Etsy tab at the top of this page. Thanks for looking!

Dave has crafted these more affordable sets of wooden tatting picot gauges from dowels. The gauges measure 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16 and 3/8 inches in length.

Beautiful Akha Spindles
The Akha style spindle is a new spindle for Grizzly Mountain Arts. This type of spindle originated with the Akha people, an indigenous hill tribe that live in small villages at high altitudes in the mountains of Thailand, Burma, Laos, China, and Yunnan Province in China.
We're on Big Cartel!
We think we have found the perfect selling venue for our fossil ivory items! We had originally planned on selling directly from our blog, but having to have separate PayPal payments for each item just wasn't what we wanted for our customers. Enter Big Cartel! Jo had originally used the Grizzly Mountain Arts Big Cartel store for her earthenware jewelry, but it’s been sitting empty filling with cobwebs for some time now.
PayPal is still the payment method, but you can purchase multiple items and only have to check out once, and we've even added a direct link to our store on our Facebook page. Just look for the shopping cart with the word “Store” below it.
In the future, any other fiber art tools such as a spindle with fossil ivory inlay will also be sold at this store. If you'd like to check it out now, simply click on the "GMA on Big Cartel" tab above.

Russian Tibetan Hybrid Support Spindle
Dave has created this Russian/Tibetan support spindle hybrid with speed and efficiency in mind. You get a fast, perfectly balanced spin that Russian style spindles are known for, plus you have the convenience of a Tibetan whorl to aid in building your cop.
The 10 3/4 inches long shaft of this Russian/Tibetan hybrid support spindle was crafted from hard maple, and the 1 1/2 inch whorl was crafted from pau amarillo.
The weight of this spindle is 1.1 ounce (32 grams).
When constructing his spindles, Dave mounts the spindle whorl blank on the shaft, and then turns and shapes the whorl and shaft together to achieve a well balanced spindle.
Double Ended Size G 4mm and Size H 5mm Buffalo Bone and Imitation Tortoise Shell Crochet Hook
