Woodpeckers are medicine birds, respected for their persistence and power

The largest and strongest of the woodpeckers is the Cvkvlv, the ivory-billed woodpecker. Traditional Mvskoke medicine practitioners still use songs about the Cvkvlv. Its own song was recorded only once, in 1935.

Cvkvlv is pronounced CHUH kuh luh, kind of like chocolate.

Shipping may be delayed on your Cvkvlv orders due to winter storms and wildfires. Here are the notices from USPS:

"Heavy snow, freezing rain, icy conditions, and severe weather events in the Central Plains through the Mid-Atlantic may impact the processing, transportation, and delivery of mail and packages."

"Wildfires in Southern California are impacting the delivery of mail and packages."

Stay safe out there, everyone.

#Cvkvlv #CvkvlvBeadwork

Here are some of the glues I use and what I use them for!

E6000 - Good for most beadwork projects, but takes some time to dry.

Loctite Gel - I use this a lot for gluing centers and backings on applique projects. Dries fast but also hard, so I don't use it on the edges of a project where I need to stitch through.

ZAP-A-GAP - For gluing the ends of paracord bead-wrapping projects into end clasps.

G-S Hypo Cement - For precision gluing with the needle-tip applicator.
