Bone Creations & Memento Mori Prints in my Etsy Shop

Over the years I've made jewelry and other creations from the bones I've found.

Recently I decided to start getting a bit more serious about this and offer up my work at my Etsy shop for fellow bone lovers to purchase.

Yesterday I listed my first creation there - Upcycled Memento Mori Shadow Box - Real Rat Skull, Fungi, and Moss



This shadow box was carefully created by me. The skull is from my own personal collection. The fungi and moss came from high in the branches of the trees in my yard. Only falling to the ground during strong storms. After which I carefully collect, clean and dry them. All pieces are one of a kind, and in very limited supply.

I want you to be aware that I never have nor ever will kill or harm any animal for my bone collection.



The shadow box measures 6.5 inches by 6.5 inches. And 1.75 inches deep. Layers from top to bottom are A) glass B) 1st white matte C) 2nd black matte D) bone, moss and fungi creation E) back board. There is a hook on the back to hang the shadow box to your wall. Or it would also look nice in your cabinet of curiosities!

I've been working on different concept ideas of what else I'll make in the future. Here is an early image of my ideas becoming reality. I'm working on finishing my second shadow box as we speak.
