"Thank's so much for creating such gorgeous jumpers for my rescue Dog, they fit perfectly and I sure all my friends will want one for their dogs! I appreciate your help with the measurements (so glad you realised they were incorrect). It's been a truly horrible time (Covid) but your parcel made me smile so much, especially when the dogs found their surprise edible pressies. My husband asked where his was lol. Thanks again, take care Katie x"

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing and the item was exactly as described. Arrived in excellent condition and within a good time frame. This was a wool wedding anniversary gift for my husband. What can I say, he loved it. Thank you so much :)

"Dear Trudy, I hope you are feeling better? My order has arrived, and everything is perfect, thank you so much! I did find the extra package you mentioned, I thought it was a receipt for payment, didn't realise you'd added the long chain as a gift, and thank you so much for the jumper for my dog. It fitted him perfectly! You're so thoughtful and kind, especially knowing how unwell you've been. I wish you a speedy recovery and thank you for everything."

"Trudy is the most gifted person I have ever met. everything she produces is crafted with love , attention to detail and with perfection. I am now the very happy owner of the Tagua nut bee pendant. the forensic detail which no photo can reproduce in the hollowing out underneath the bees antennae to give added depth, the tiny glass eyes and the true likeness of a honeybees wings has to be seen in real life to appreciate the workmanship that has gone into making this piece. thank you so much Trudy you are amazing x"

After a long time looking for my personal Smudge Fan I finally found the one for me on Trudy's website, it arrived beautifully & carefully packaged in quick time & is absolutely magnificent, my heart actually skipped a beat when I held my Jay wing in my hand for the first time, the glove leather is so wonderfully soft & the tips of my fingers fit perfectly into the natural shape literally like a glove made especially for my own hand, I telephoned Trudy regarding some information I had received else where & I am so glad that I did, what a wonderful & helpful lady, that was also born in my county how awesome is that, there really are no coincidences in this life, it was meant to be, I can highly recommend The Spirit Keeper & have already made my second purchase with absolute confidence in the care & quality of the product i am now eagerly awaiting, thank you so much Trudy xxx

absolutely love and adore the ritual rattle I received from Trudy. It is beyond beautiful and it sounds amazing! Trudy is so talented, gifted and spiritually aware of the beauty in all things! She is truly an amazing artist and wonderful person who respects all the animals she works with. What a beautiful soul Trudy has to share what Spirit provides. Thank you so much for the beautiful rattle. I will certainly be back! And for anyone who is looking for quality Spiritual items, I would highly recommend buying them from The Spirit Keeper. You will not be disappointed!! They are MAGICAL!!

I received a beautiful necklace made by Trudy as a present from my niece who purchased it from you. You have made this pendant with such care & love, I can thoroughly recommend your work as I wear it every day and it's become a part of me now.
From Trac, France.

"I am a Druid Sword Bearer & Grove leader. On purchasing my Sword, I knew i needed a scabbard for it. I asked Trudy if she could make me one as I have seen a lot of Trudys work & she is an amazing artist & a true perfectionist in her craft. When Trudy agreed to make my scabbard for me, i was over the moon, as i realised that it would be just perfect.....I have spoken with Trudy on a number of occasions & found her to be Warm, kind, Loving & very, very thorough in all she undertakes & does. There are but a few naturally gifted artists around, Trudy falls into the category of Master Crafts-Person.....I am truly Proud & Honoured i chose her to make my sword scabbard for me......Blessed Be..../|\"

"I contacted Trudy as I had acquired an Buzzard wing from a bird that had sadly been killed at our roadgate, we believed that he had lived here and wanted to commemorate his life by having his wing preserved so began a search of the internet to find someone who could do this.
I emailed Trudy and she responded immediately with positive questions about the condition of the wing etc and what she felt was possible for her to do with the wing as it happened I was over the moon with the results. I felt the love and dedication she has in honouring the spirit of the animal she is working with shone through in her work.
I was overwhelmed with how perfectly she had capture the essence of the spirit of the animal and would not hesitate in commissioning another work if the opportunity arises in the future.
She has a gift and connection with her work that is second to none, a very humble lady that I feel does not truly understand her unique gift she has in bringing to life that which was lost.
My grateful thanks to her for her dedication and expertise in giving me such a wonderful result. I would recommend her 100% to anyone who feels the call of the spirit and the need to honour the fallen in a beautiful and memorial way."

"I seem to be struggling for the words to express the gratitude I am feeling at this moment. I'm holding this amazing talisman you have created within my hands, and I'm speechless. Trudy, not only is your work unique, you are truly one of a kind. I also want to say thank you for allowing me to talk through some feelings I've been experiencing. You speak with thought, compassion and knowledge. Thank you so much."

"Isn't it wonderful that this majestic fellow, in all his glory, has been given this opportunity to soar once again,
- True, not in reality, but in our hearts & minds ♥ Instead of his physical form laying rotting, returning to the earth, he soars in our hearts & imaginations having been given renewed life by Trudy's talented taxidermy skills. His form & Spirit will continue to educate our minds, delight our Souls, and live in our hearts, and we with eyes to see, will continue to look upon him with wonder & awe ♥"

"I can't recommend Trudy's work highly enough! I had been looking for a long time for a barn owl wing and through a friend, I found out that Trudy had recently received an owl hi had died of natural causes. She prepared the wing beautifully and also obtained the appropriate legal certification. The quality of her work is 100% and I am happy to recommend her. "
Steve M, Brighton.

"I was guided by Spirit and to connect with Trudy and the name Spirit Keeper is so apt. She honours the Spirit of the Beings with sensitivity care and skill. I could not have imagined from the first enquiries right through to receiving the sacred objects that I would have been able to be in collaboration / connection of the process and journey. And so it must be when working deeply with Spirit. This process is akin to remote/long distance healing where it is possible to transcend geographical distance - where Spirit is involved"
Elizabeth Dale Rudwick of 'HeartBeat Healing'

"Having just received my first order from The Spirit Keeper and seeing the quality in the items I ordered, I would highly recommend Trudys work to anyone seeking items they can use and treasure for years to come.

"Trudy Coyle I keep forgetting to tell you that my son in law loved his wolf tooth necklace!! he wears it just about all the time after I gave it to him for Christmas. Being a bit wicked, I told him that I knew of an immensely talented woman taxidermist who works with animal spirits in an ethical and amazing way. I told him I had bought a stuffed stoat for his present...simply because it made me laugh so much. Oh, I do like to entertain myself with such happy silliness. When he got the necklace he was rather glad it wasn't the stoat!! Honestly that is still tickling me pink.... And of course you can add it to your testimonials page Trudy. I will be contacting you again for a medicine object I need.

"Trudy, The wand and necklace have arrived. They are both really nice. The wand has a very cool feel and looks great on my altar. The bison tooth necklace feels great around my neck. The Bison came into my life a few years ago, and I believe it is my spirit animal. I suspect I'll be wearing this all the time except, of course, while sleeping, swimming or showering! Your work is amazing, and I've told people of your site. Hopefully it results in some traffic." Blessings,

"I have commissioned Trudy on two occasions to undertake some taxidermy for me. Firstly, at very short notice our Farm Shop required a number of pheasants mounted as if they were hanging in our game chiller, to hang over the butchers counter. This work was excellent, realistic and the speed of turn around was fantastic. Secondly, I required a Magpie that could be mounted in a way that it could be handled, stroked and set up as a demonstration piece, to enable The NGO Educational Trust to teach children about the countryside from a balanced view point. Again the turn around was fantastic and I recived a super reinforced, robust Magpie that I am sure will be well handled for many years to come. This piece Trudy wouldn't accept any payment for, for which we are very grateful "

"All my life i've talked to crows quite literally, this amulet you have made for me is quite special, for I feel a connection with the spirit world whilst wearing it and talking to those special birds. The spirit attached to the claw is so powerfull it lights my heart wearing it. My son pasted away at the age of 20 yrs old, on my birthday no less, it took many years to feal a connection to mother earth again but I can honestly say my birds are talking to me once more and I feel their connection even more . I truly believe there is meaning behind my connection with the crow and raven family and that the passing of my son has a big part in that connection as well , much love my dear friend your brother in life"

I telephoned Trudy to explain what I needed, I found her to be polite, and she really listened to everything I had to say. Not once did Trudy try to push to sell me anything, which I appreciated. I went on to purchase several pieces from her, and unlike so many internet shopping experiences, Trudy offered such a warm and friendly service. I received my purchases promptly, and I'm very pleased with them all. This has been one of the very best spiritual shopping experiences i've had, and i am happy to recommend her website and the quality of her work to anyone."

I live in a remote area, and do not often get the opportunity to physically shop for my requirements, however, my shopping experience with Trudy was as enjoyable as if I had been there in person. Her expertise and knowledge is very apparent in her work. Congratulations on a superb website Trudy, and how lovely to connect with such a genuine person as yourself, something that is rather rare these days."

"I ordered several custom pieces from Trudy at Indigo Crow and am so pleased that I did. Trudy is a true artist and her work shows that. In talking with Trudy, I can also really appreciate the care that was taken and I know the specimens were prepared with much love and respect. The level of skill and craftsmanship that Trudy exhibits is amazing! I absolutely love the Magpie smudge fan and the wolfs tooth pendant I received. Both are beautiful! I would highly recommend that anyone who is looking for specific taxidermy pieces or ritual tools to contact Indigo Crow first. You won't be disappointed!!"

'I first got in touch with Trudy in November of last year. Since then, we have talked on and off. She’s always been very lovely and it has been a pleasure talking to her about her life as a taxidermist. I hope you all take the time to ‘Like’ her on Facebook, ‘Follow’ her on Twitter and, of course, check out her official website, if only to browse through her fabulous specimens'

"Hey there Trudy, So so sorry its taken me so long to send photos as I promised, I chose a fair trade ahimsa (peace) silk chain naturally dyed with traditionally fermented indigo and fustic wood that I then hand braided. so i really wanted to pick the perfect match of dyestuffs and materials for the crow foot. Hope you enjoy the photos and thanks so much again for giving me such a wonderfully powerful spiritual item. I will certainly be buying from you again. :) glorious beltaine to you, Ashley"

This Was My Very First feedback
From January, 2011

"I have just received my first purchase from Trudy Coyle and I couldn't be more pleased. I purchased a welsh oak wand that has the most stunning grain and the leather and crystal work on the grip is beautifully hand sewn. I also got a crow feather choker made with the softest feathers and looks absolutely stunning, everyone who has seen it has commented on it's beauty. The craftmanship in both these items is superb and you can see and feel the love that has gone into them. I will definitely be purchasing further items from this stunning creator who has such love and respect for the creatures she works with and manages to let their beauty live on even after their demise.
Well worth the money."
