It had been a long process, but Siv was thrilled with her results. She had been careful to go when the Hunter was not around, and only run into Salvia once. She had not given much information as far as her goals of the time, but measurements had been easy enough to gather. Fixing together the hides had been more difficult, but she was a skilled woman, and with little duties beyond this, time was hers to kill. Two reindeer, each females (she had realized this from their antlers, and given them to her daughter to chew on) had gone into the contraption.
Making the dye was harder. A massive collection of pine had gone into the green, and once satisfied with the cut and construction of her leather, she had allowed it to soak for two full days. A rich, beautiful shade of green had taken away the light golden-yellow. It had been left alone along the edges, though she had gone in later and brushed this in with a secondary piece of leather. To accent the orange, she had used alder. Yellow came with sumac, and it was a brilliant shade she was truly happy with. It had been harder to find something useable for the blue, but dogwood had suited this need.
The horse was calm enough for her to strap on the headpiece, and the blanket was slipped on with ease. It was held together around the chest by simple loops and long buttons made from bone. Pleased with her appearance, the woman looped on Luna’s lead and pulled her out into the land outside of the barn. A single call was given for the dark man she called master.
