My shop is named for my beloved Akita, Dante-Inu, in honor of her beautifil spirit.
I feature hand dyed fabrics, hand dyed silk scarves, hand dyed and hand sewn Quilted wallhangings, hand dyed and hand sewn lap quilts, handmade beadwork, handmade chainmaille, and more.
I showcase projects and current works at http://wolfsilveroak.insanejournal.com , my personal blog.
I am somewhat active in Akita Rescue- promoting, sometimes running transports, even adopted my own new puppy, Caena from Heart of Dixie Akita Rescue, blogging about Rescue, donating items for Rescue Auctions, etc.
From time to time, I have 'specials' in my shop, in regards to Akita Rescue, where a certain percentage of proceeds are donated directly to Akita Rescue groups. So keep any eye out for future 'specials' as well!
If you see something in my shop you absolutely love, I can and will do barter/trade if you have something I might want.}:) All you have to do is ask.
