Announcement    Welcome to KickingBear! Smudge fans Gourd Rattles Smudging supplies and Native American style jewelry. My shop has smudge fans, rattles, and smudging supplies. You will also find Native American style jewelry and gourd rattles. The smudge fan handles and gourd rattles are beaded in gourd/ peyote stitch. There are also a few original oil paintings and drawings that were done by my husband. I have made a few bulk orders of the corn necklaces. If you need more than one, send me a convo and we can work out the details.
I want all to know that I am NOT a registered member of any Native American tribe. I love their designs and their culture. I do NOT claim that any of the items in this shop are authentically Native American. All of my items are handmade by me. I greatly respect the Native American culture and most of my items were inspired by that culture. The paintings and prints are from my late husband.
I am a self-taught beader. When I pick up an object to bead, a story or purpose comes to my mind and spirit. Then the bead colors follow. As I begin to bead, a design starts to develop. I really enjoy feeling the inspiration from the energy that the object and beads give to me. I hope that the items find their way to the people for whom they were created.

I am now accepting Etsy Direct Check out. I am willing to ship to a few other countries. Convo me if you are outside of the US and we can work out the shipping. I am also willing to reserve items and set up payments. This must be done via a convo.
This was my husband's shop--KickingBear. I am keeping the name in his honor.
Glad to be a member of Drum Beaters and Walking the Red Road teams.
