This particular wall hanging was made using a piece of wood given to Susanna (she simply HAD to do something with it, it was so beautiful!) and parts of a porcupine which her son had noticed on the side of the road and knew instantly his mother would want. The mouth is made from porcupine claws and hanging off the bottom (not pictured) are quills. The nose is some sort of pig bone and I can't remember where the feathers came from...
