Located in the beautiful, soul inspiring Bitterroot Valley of western Montana, ShadowWolf Creations was born of a dream... and what better place than here could a dream like this one be realized? A small family owned and operated business, integrating the Spirit given gifts and talents of each member, deeply inspired by the pure and pristine power and magic of the Rocky Mountains.
I was not born here - but instead came from a very long way away from the snow covered, towering peaks and pure, river fed valleys I have called home for the past 10 years. Still - I quite literally dreamed of the very place which I now reside with my family since I was 7 years old. Often writing about it in precise detail from childhood through my teens, imagine my awe when I drove through it almost 20 years ago enroute to the Pacific Northwest - and discovered - it really existed! I couldn't rest until I returned to what I instantly recognized was home.
I have always been deeply connected to nature - always fascinated by and drawn to animals, wild creatures, ...even trees, plants, rock and gifts from the water, such as the shells I would find ranging along the shore. Always, I have collected, honored, and worked in one way or another (or many!) with them as I do now.
And so after more than 30 years, this business... - first given a small child in the form of gifts, talents and dreams - has come to life in the form of ShadowWolf Creations.
As a single mother of two amazing sons - this dream has been long in coming. First and formost here is family. My sons are older now - and they work with me - sharing their own unique and ever growing gifts and talents - which you will find offered here as we continue to grow as an enterprise.
First you will find mostly jewelry - Spirit inspired and made from mostly natural materials. I work with natural materials - gemstone and crystal. In some pieces you will find bone, bear claw, teeth and/or deer or elkskin - and each creation is unique and one-of-a-kind. No two will ever be exactly alike - and not only because of the natural variation inherent in the natural materials, such as stone and pearl, itself. Each piece has a unique personality - a subtle purpose. I form these pieces by the energy they impart as I work with them. Each unique piece is created by blending the energies and properties inherent in each type of material used in it. Not only are they beautiful - but energectically - vibrant. Some will be healing - some protective - some inspiring - others calming. All - connecting. I integrate Swarovski Crystal in many of the pieces to add just a touch of flash and sparkle - in colors coordinated to bring out the natural color.
You will find many different types offered here. There will be a lot of turn-around - an ever changing selection. I love to work with totems. Please, always feel free to let me know if you are looking for something specific - I would love to design you a custom piece to fit your needs!
Also - please keep checking back as we grow from this new beginning. My sons and I work with many things - and we will be introducing more all the time - from herb blends and gemstone sets, to essential oil blends and smudging kits. And hopefully soon we will be reincorporating our handcrafted dye-free soy wax candles - which we make in small, carefully controlled batches of the finest quality materials.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and get to know us!
