Native Bones Nature Art

Came across some fun and creepy display jars over the winter. I've been filling them with little pieces I've found along the way (naturally). The glass dome is sealed to the base. 8" tall and 5" wide at the base. This one is Turtle.
$50. each. Will be uploading more soon.

I am fascinated by feathers. It has been a talent of mine to identify each feather and know where it came from on the anatomy of a bird. Learn more:

For those that need a little reminder of summer, my hummingbird is still looking for it's place to reside.

The snow is halfway gone and the time for scavenging is almost here! We donated a few pieces for a dear fellow artists fundraiser. You know what that means? Time for imagination and motivation to run wild for new things. Currently working on two different European mount paintings. Finished a Hummingbird piece, will post photos soon, and continuing to make bits and bangles. Warm weather can't come here soon enough.

Have been in hibernation for the winter folks. My three little co-artists have been gathering up some inventory for me. Also a huge thank you to the lovely mystery person that delivered those turkey wings on my doorstep last year. They are finally finished curing. I have a very large piece that will be coming out soon. Think Buffalo with wings....

All of my jewelry is finished with square knots for easy adjusting, unless buyer specifies otherwise. I can also use crab claw or other hook style closures.
