Going live with some antlers...

Here it is finally. I've open up shop (again) with some antlers this time and as of now, I've got 6 to sell. For those of you wondering, these are naturally shed. No harm was done to the owners of these beautiful antlers. Hope you guys like them.



Here are a few of them with the back detail.

Creating Antlers....

More than a year ago, I bought a naturally shed antler. I had this idea that I was going to be making it into a jewelry stand or somehow attach it to the wall and be able to hang my necklaces from it. I had seen some on different websites and had pinned some on Pinterest as home decor. I loved the idea, but then it just laid there for a little while.

Once I finished working on the horsehair tassels, I started thinking that maybe I should just try and thread the antler that I had and just use it as a decoration since it was already sitting there on my table. When I was done with the threading, I thought I should hang it but I kept wondering if it was still missing something. That's when I came up with the idea of gilding it and I knew then that once I was done with the gilding, it would be complete. This was the final product. 

Making bags...

Here is the latest one to come out. Not sure on the name yet, so let's just called it The Splatter for now.
