Recently posted a small Public Service Announcement regarding the need to check if artists and dealers are properly storing, preparing, and sourcing their materials…etc (go read if you haven’t, I highly agree), and it reminded me to go check on a specimen I had left macerating for a couple weeks longer than maybe I should have 😬🤭

Therefore please enjoy these randomly selected process photos of bones in all stages.

I know, I know. It’s hard to imagine such a gremlin having a halo, so I decided to give myself a copper one just so you could see 👼😈

But no really, I was doing my daily doomscrolling and happened upon a reel by another creator urging artists to forward face on their account - to show not only their work, but also their humanity through their hands, their selfies, their stories.

So despite me having an aversion to being in the spotlight, here’s another peek at me & my workshop. Back to the grind 😙🤘🏼
