Quiver by Shell-Exceeded Expectations

gregg dudley · August 16, 2008, 09:03:00 PM

Well, Shell sent me the plains style quiver that I bought on the St Judes Auction last year. It is elk skin and is beaded in a Cheyenne style that she copied from an example found at Sand Creek. The quiver was well worth the wait and exceeded my expectations. She is sending a matching bow case this week. All I can say is WOW! The bow in the picture below is a "Hatchet Bow" made by Danny Beckwith of TBG. Danny was down shooting at the TBOF Fall Rendezvous and thought I should have a great primitive bow to go with such a great quiver.

Oh yeah! The rug in the last picture is a St Jude's auction item from 3 auctions ago compliments of Terry Green.

That is beautiful work! Wonderful colors, and a flowing design, I got a bittersweet pang in my heart at the name of Sand Creek. Thanks to people like Shell, all was not lost in that massacre. Wear that quiver proudly, as there is long history that travels with it.

Beautiful work! Shell's works really are special. Not only top of the line craftmanship, but she puts extra meaning and thought into every piece she creates.
