I choose his name from the genus species name "Canis dirus". Cain is wearing one of a kind necklaces inspired by the mammoth hunters who may have hunted alongside dire wolves so many years ago. The large square pendant is genuine mammoth ivory from Alaska.
You can ensure it is mammoth ivory by looking at the Schreger lines detailed in the above right photo. The pendant is hanging on very soft deer leather. Wooden, coco-flower, and simulated bone beads, leather and feathers finish off the necklaces. These necklaces are removable.
Cain's eyes have been hand painted a striking amber hue with with gold sparkles. He has lots of thread and scissor sculpting.
Cain's eyes are finished with black felt and sewn in leather eyelids. He has a stitched nose that has been sealed and a few black whiskers.
Cain has trapunto toes on both feet that have been shaded and sealed.
Cain's mouth has been thread sculpted and he has leather lower lip.
Cain is a very big wolf, sitting about 14 inches tall and is made of grey faux fur. Here is a picture of me holding him so you can see his size.
I hope you have enjoyed visiting Cain. If you would like to adopt him you can click on the paypal link below or email me at aerbears@yahoo.com. He is $450, this includes shipping to anywhere in the continental US.
Cain is a collectors' item only, he contains loose pellets, glass eyes, cotterpin and locknut joints and wire armatures and is not suitable for children. Some of the beads I used had this statement on the packaging: "Certain components may contain trace amounts of lead. Do not put item in mouth or ingest".
I have been adopted!
