petit os.

grey squirrel cast hearts, mandibles, red fox molars and phalanges. check out these delicate beauties at RP/Encore. particularly love the tiny bone and molar rings. as i've said before, i was originally completely creeped out by taxidermy but after reading more about it i think it's a great way to appreciate the beauty of creatures as well as the hidden aspects like the skeleton. if the animal died of natural causes and is handled correctly, it can be a very delicate and respectful process and i imagine a very interesting craft. its a simple reminder of underlying beauty and mortality.
