raven’s tail weaving


I am always interested in learning indigenious weaving techniques. In 2002, I set out on a journey to learn Raven’s Tail and Chilkat weaving.  It has been almost 8 years since I first started to read about Raven’s Tail and its origin in the Pacific Northwest.  I have woven a few Raven’s Tail medicine bags and currently working on a pair of leggings. 

I am posting one of my early Raven’s Tail medicine bags available for sale, and the cover of Cheryl Samuel’s book, The Raven’s Tail, which is currently out of print. I have 2 (maybe 3) more additional Medicine Bags if you are interested.  I am not currently making Medicine Bags.  Please contact me if you have any questions.

Raven’s Tail Medicine Bag No. 1 is woven on a vertical loom with thigh spun warp without use of a spindle.  Merino Wool. Embellished with plucked beaver fur. Deerhide handle. Fringe finished with tin cones.  Price: $300 plus $8 shipping in U.S.

Detail of front of the Medicine Bag.  This design is called the Box of Daylight design.
Back side of the Raven’s Tail Medicine Bag.  Plain weave with a black braided border. Merino wool.  Warp is thigh spun without the use of a spindle.
Detail of the back side of  the Raven’s Tail Medicine Bag embellished with a Peruvian Coin.  I had just returned from Peru when I began to weave in the Raven’s Tail technique.
