Into the Woods

These creative works were submitted by Samantha Crist from Illinois! The first is an Etch-a-Sketch drawing that is spin on the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood. In this tale, Little Red Riding Hood is not nearly so helpless. How many wolves can you spot?

The second two are leather pieces she has completed:

This one is an instrument pouch she made for quick access to common veterinary necessities. The front of the pack is shown with the veterinary caduceus and animals carved into the leather and surrounded by a decorative stitch that looks braided from the side. The inside of the pouch (not shown) has a calf detailed next to a molded penlight holder and the side of the pouch (not shown) displays attractive subtle western patterning, and the back of the pouch (also not shown) reads the famous quotation “All Creatures Great and Small…”  above a rose carved like the animals. She designed, stitched,and carved the pouch!

This one is a keychain that she made for her mom's birthday as she had hogs growing up. It is of carved leather like the pouch and displays a piglet!
