THE WHOLE SHABLAMB
Taking orders now. LMK. Email me if interested. $900 and you get all the goods we cherish from a single slaughtered lamb. The meat, the hide, the skull, the fat (in soap form), and the horns (in stylish earring form). I could also throw in a bag of compost … but I’ll skip that. It was satisfying making this picture and package. Our soil, skills and animals made this. We want to share its beauty, comfort and nourishment with you!
SHEEPSKINS: An earthy and original wool cushion, rug, sleeping pad, garment
IN STOCK NOW! Sheepskins, or pelts, are the tanned hides of lambs and mature sheep. Mine range in size and wool length: $175-$400. PRICES ARE LISTED ON THE IMAGES. To inquire about or request a sheepskin contact me at [email protected]. I use driftlesstannery.com Driftless Tannery and www.buckscountyfurproducts.com Bucks County Furs to tan our hides.
SKULLS
We save so much of the animal when we process them. The skulls have been favorites because they are fascinating, beautiful and a little creepy. It can make us feel brave to hold one. Honored to have it in our home or garden as a decoration or adornment. Many people buy them to use in their art. What would you do with a skull?
T-SHIRTS!
Sweatshop-free, USA printed, locally designed. Unisex sizes available, XS-2X. $25 each. E-mail me to order. Blue, red and grey available.
SHEEP HORN EARRINGS
MORE COMING SOON! CHECK INSTAGRAM AND FB FOR NEW BATCHES
I’m sometimes asked why I have horned sheep. There’s so much that I love about Icelandic sheep. I appreciate the function of the horns - they are a cooling mechanism, they add protection. I also appreciate the story horns can tell. Horns can tell a story of the sheep and their health. Reading horns helps me be a better shepherd. These earrings remind me of the relationship between humans and livestock, and our responsibility to our farm animals. They are for sale at Third Branch Pottery in Randolph and the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival vtsheepandwoolfest.com I also post earrings for sale in batches frequently on Instagram @CANDOSHEARING.
