Kickstarter time!

Currently I make resin skull jewelry which I’ve been selling in my etsy shop Skullery for a few years now. I’d like to expand and start producing a line of silver and bronze jewelry. I’ve spent the past 6 months learning how to make them and producing the examples you see here (and there’s more on the Kickstarter page). 

Now I need your help! The equipment I need to cast these pieces isn’t cheap, so I need enough people interested in my work in order for me to buy the tools I need and start production. 

I’d like to spread this as far as I can, so this post also doubles as a giveaway! Reblog this post to enter, no need to follow me, and when the project ends on June 1st I’ll pick three winners randomly for a bronze crow claw necklace, a bronze fox claw necklace, and a silver mini sparrow necklace (check out the project page to see them!). The first winner will have first choice, and so on. I have these pieces already made so even if the kickstarter isn’t funded you’ll still get them. And if you back the kickstart and win we’ll make sure you don’t get the same thing twice if you don’t want to.

Thanks for taking a look! If you cant back the project but want to help, spread the word! <3

Rough-Legged Hawk Mount

So, I got Christmas money from my mother and couldn’t resist buying myself this. It’s an old Rough-Legged Hawk (Buteo lagopus) mount. The third full taxidermy mount in my collection. This is legal to own where I live.

He doesn’t live outside permanently, of course.

dyspnoeic asked: Where did you get your human bones from? I'm dying for a skull and a articulated distal middle, and proximal phalanx bones.

A human skull is one of my wish list curio items too, but they’re way out of my price range at the moment, unfortunately. Some of the bones I have were purchased from The Bone Room and some were purchased through friends who found good deals on vintage medical skeleton parts on Ebay. Skulls Unlimited also has a large collection of human bones and skulls for sale, but the prices are quite high. I’d definitely suggest keeping an eye out on Ebay; you’ll get the best deals there.

Hope this helps!
