Description
My bead-box (hold my beads, charms, claws and trinkets) went without an image on it for over a year now... if not more (two even?).
From the start I knew I wanted to carve Thunderbird on the top. Thing is, I never knew what design I wanted. So doing as I always do- I left it for *him* to tell *me* how he wanted to be carved.

Fast forward all that time, and just recently (last week) I was in need of some emotional comforting, and I asked for a sign that things would turn out OK.
That night, I had a dream:
I was carving this exact image onto my bead-box, all the while Thunderbird was talking to me- but of course, not in tongue. His mouth was moving and the sound of thundering rumbles mixed with a beautiful song was heard.

Next morning I woke up and knew that not only will things be OK, but that was the image intended for my box. And so I carved it, painted it, and inlayed a mother-of-pearl eye (oddly, not Abalone... but in the dream his eye was mother-of-pearl. I remembered noting that).

Is it Eagle looking over his shoulder as the sun rises/sets? Or is it the head of the mighty Thunderbird- Gift of the Sun?
Funny. Because -as always- every time I pray for some kind of answer, it's always eagle to bring me the answer on his wings.. and this time, was no different.

I do carvings like these as well. Note me for details and prices.
