Marten (Martes martes) hide brain tanned.
I'm really happy with the result, the hide is really soft and flexible and the hair remains well attached.
This Marten had been hit by a car during the night and I found her dead around midday the next day. I haven't been able to use her brain for tanning because it was to much damaged , so I used a part of pig brain for the process.
I then smoked the hide during a whole day (maybe it's too long ? @wildwoolshepherdess @buckskin_revolution )
Now I plan to sew it into a medicine bag for my favourite plants, and I hope it will be a good way to honnor this beautiful animal. Thank you Marten.
Her hind and front legs will help in my tracking workshop as well.

It's summer and I'm working continually on restoring my connection to the plant world. I'm collecting various flowers and leaves for my winter medicines.
This little clay pipe in process is for smoking some of the herbs I'm collecting, specially Mullein and coltsfoot.

Fox meal remains...
These pheasant hen feathers will be useful for future fltechings of arrows or darts.
Thanks for the present.

St John's wort (hypericum perforatum) harvest !
It's been years since I made my last bottle of hypericum oil so I'm really happy to meet again with this old friend. She will be there to cure the burns of my relatives for one or two years.
It's easy to make : just pour olive oil on the flowers in a glass jar and let it infuse in the sun for 3 weeks. Then filter and stock in a brown bottle (or away from sunlight). #hypericum #millepertuis #oil #harvest #naturalmedicine #plantmedicine #medicinalplant #bushcraft #awareness #survival #nature #forestbathing #naturalremedies #herbalism #healing #plants #stjohnwort #oliveoil #herbedelasaintjean #flowers #outdoor #outdoorlife
