Boneificent Creations

The past week I had the chance of spending time creating.  Being up in the mountain always inspires me...especially using natural materials to incorporate in my work.

Since the Wood Hollow Fire here in Utah, I started picking up pieces of broken glass and burned "found" objects and started getting all kinds of crazy inspiration.  Here are my latest creations, and all are for sale.

I Scratch Your Back $75.00

Detail

This piece is called "I Scratch Your Back."  It was created from a pair of burned kitchen tongs we found were our camper was.  I fixed the patina, seed beaded around the hilt, add a beautiful deer vertebra that I found and hygienically cleaned on our property last year.  All bones that I use are from animals that have been legally hunted or have died naturally.  No animals are harmed in the creation of my art.

The next two pieces are created from Sheep knuckle bones and are pendants that can be added to a silver or gold chain...or even a leather necklace band!


This piece is called "Simply Done."  $25.00

 It is embellished bone with seed beads and a tawny tan pearl.
