dark mists are cloaking what the eyes can see
Éldi watched the passers by going to and fro. He smiled politely as a lovely auburn woman approached his stall to inspect the turkey feather headdress. It had been a challenge for sure. Kaler had dared him to construct something and he had decided to try. If not for the dare the piece might not exist. Others might fear sharing how something was made but he didn't mind. Explaining and doing were two different things for one and for another more competition would just push him to be more creative in the future. "The headband part is a strip of tanned dear hide. The feathers are attacked to the hide on either side with resin. It's very sticky and holds wonderfully and best of all it is solid when it dries." He'd tried early on with different kinds of saps and some remained sticky far longer than he'd wished. He'd torn out a good chunk of his fur when an earlier prototype stuck to him.
"Once the feathers were dried Askr, my raven, finished sewing the two ends together with sinew to make the head dress. Is it a piece you're interested in trading for?"
Another wolf passed by, a large white male, who stopped in to gaze at his wares. Éldi smiled, pleased with the attention his items were getting. It seemed his hard work was paying off. "Greetings sir. I have some owl feathers but no eagle feathers I'm afraid." He made a mental note to try for an eagle some time. "I'm look for a buffalo hide, tanned leather and various pieces of metal, namely those that can be fashioned into weaponry but I'm open to other offers. What do you have that you could trade?"
