Tokala
Dakota word for Fox
Inspired by our pine needle collection and the red foxes that frequently cross our path, the idea of Tokala came to be. It was over a month of enjoyable tedious labor to achieve the look we wanted for Tokala. We sculpted the face form and hand laid each individual pine needle to create the natural hair texture. We were real happy when we found the perfect black walnut shell half for the nose.
