You can wear dead things around your neck!
Well, as you all know, I like to not only photograph dead things I find in the woods, or on the side of the road – but I like to put them in a bag and bury them in a hole where beetles can eat their flesh and leave me with skeletons to bleach later. I live next door to a cop and sometimes I think that he thinks I’m sick. Well, I am. Kind of. Anyway, I’ve been working on some pretty awesome jewelry lately to post on my etsy site – and just finished everything yesterday. I’m really kind of trying to get my foot in the door with the whole ‘Selling jewelry online’.. At first everyone was like, “oh holy crap, I want to buy your jewelry!” then it just kind of went away and no one bought anything.. But this was before I even started selling dead things in my store. I’m hoping this blog post might get the word out there. Tell your friends!
These are mole bones in a jar, and they are also necklaces. They can be purchased here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/89689544/mole-in-a-jar-necklace
Large pharyngeal arch necklace. I found these while beachcombing. It has taken me years to collect enough of these to want to sell. They were very special to me, and Native Americans used to trade them for goods and services. It can be purchased here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/89693499/pharyngeal-arch-bone-necklace
I also have a smaller one available here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/89694640/pharyngeal-arch-bone-necklace
This is a vole jaw picked out of a real owl pellet! You can find it here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/89694192/vole-jaw-in-a-jar-necklace
And last but not least is the turtle scapula bone necklace: http://www.etsy.com/listing/89691994/softshell-turtle-scapula-necklace
I have a lot of other necklaces available for sale as well that don’t involve anything dead, you can take a look at my entire shop by clicking HERE.
Until next time!
