About this Product
These leather night sky raven barrettes are a wonderful gift for women who love nature! They're a tribute to the wonderful crows and ravens here in the Pacific Northwest. A small celebration of this wild woodland :)
MEASUREMENTS + MATERIALS
✭ Measures about 5.5" wide by 3.5" tall
✭ The holes are spaced at 3.5" apart, which is a medium fit
✭ The black wooden stick measures 7" long.
✭ Hand crafted with tooling leather, artist grade acrylic paints, and high quality wooden hairstick
This style has a medium fit, meaning that it will hold a medium sized section of hair. If your hair is fine, it may hold it all in a bun. If your hair is very long or thick, it will probably work best for half up styles.
This listing is for one flying raven hair slide with a wooden stick. The leather is dyed and painted coal black with iridescent washes of indigo and violet. At the base of the wings is a black treeline, and the night sky is dotted with metallic silver stars. The shimmering colors have a play of light effect, so the blue and purple tones can shift from very vivid to rather subtle, depending on the lighting. The hand stamped tree line adds beautiful texture.
This design is also available as a French clip barrette.

Meet the Maker
I create wearable art jewelry, accessories, and costumes for those who love myth and nature. My mixed media beadwork and leather craft blends organic and unusual materials like semiprecious stone, vintage glass, bone, and wood. Each piece is hand crafted in my forest studio, with hope that it will spark imagination and rekindle a sense of connection to the natural world.
I've been a beadworker since the early 1980's, and I started working in leather in the early 1990's. I began selling my handcrafted work at art shows and festivals around 1987, and built my first website in 1997. These many years as a working artisan have helped to hone my skill and style, as well as my customer service skills.
With that said, you can trust that your purchase will be truly handcrafted, well made with quality materials, and it will be shipped quickly and securely. I hope your purchase will make you smile, garner lots of compliments, and remind you of the beauty of the natural world.
How it’s Made
Carefully cut from premium vegetable tanned leather, hand carved, stamped, sculpted, and painted. The color is finished with a protective top coat that makes the leather water resistant, but not waterproof.

Leather Characteristics
Leather is an organic material, with subtle variances from one piece to the next. Like our own skin, it tells a story. Thus, it's perfectly normal for leather to have small surface scratches, brands, or even wrinkles! Small markings such as these are typical characteristics of the medium, and should not be considered flaws. As with humans, these little quirks add to the beauty and character :)
