Playin' with fire...

Messing around making some bone trinkets this weekend.

Finally got around to adding some color by staining a few with fire and ebony wood stain.

Some work still in progress on a few of them.

The two dark feathers were my first two attempts at them. Those two were stained with instant coffee.

Feathers and points were cut from cow scapula and the heart and crosses from antler.

Thanks guys!

This burning actually looks really cool on skulls too! I still got a few deer to clean up and burn now.

I hit that old cow skull with the torch the other day and sprayed on a coat of poly.

Gonna try a cut-through spider web design on my coyote skull next, but I'll probably just use conventional stain on that one so I don't burn through the thin bone web!

Have you tried walnut hulls? I love the color they produce and have actually dyed fabric with them

I haven't tried that yet, but they are on the long list with just about anything else you can dream up,lol

Anything but paint.... well, with the exception of when I really want WHITE!

If you need a bunch I have dried hulls by the five gallon bucket.. Thanks to squirrels that fill my sled with them every winter as it sits in rafters in barn...add water or acetone and soak and instant dye

.. Good for traps as well...

Nice work wooly!!  When you get a chance I need a turkey feather done by you!! 

A cross or arrow head of antler would make a real nice necklace for a hunter too! As well as the turkey feather! With a strip of rawhide. That stuff would sell like crazy at farmers markets and craft shows!!!
