I have a shop!

CHECKITOUTCHECKITOUTCHECKITOUT

Bone jewellery and other goodstuffs. Will hopefully add much much more over the next few weeks.

Out of sheer curiosity, where do you get the bones?

For what's currently up there, eBay. Other sources include nature, a great little online store called Necromance, and the poultry section of the supermarket.

Wicked! Where was your store when I had money to burn? :(

Oooh, I like the mink bone necklace!

Ooooooh...I love the seahorse and mink rib earrings!

Are those in american or australian dollars?

It's my birthday next week so fingers crossed I can get some of the stuff you're selling there. God, all of it looks amazing! =]

Etsy's all in American dollars, and if there's anything you'd like reserved for your birthday I can probably do that.

And thanks everyone, I'm glad the stuff is liked!

They're my favourites to the point that I'm going to have to make another pair for myself. Who'd have ever thought a seahorse and tiny mammal ribs would hang so nicely together?

I announce this shop to be excellent; ergo, it shall prosper.

Good work.

i agree. - have you tired dying the bones? i don't know how or if it can be done easily but it might the grain (like in wood) look cool.

and judged, please, get off your high horse.

Never - it is built beneath me, and cannot be removed. Also, this puny planet requires my services.

Now please stop sidetracking Cicero's thread with your fear of the truth.

oh please, you are so ridiculous.


....back to Cicero...

Haven't tried it, actually. Might experiment with it, but I'm not sure what types of dyes would work, if any. I like the natural bone colour anyway.

And thanks to both you and the Judge for the compliments.

You are easily one of the top ten coolest people I've met.

you're welcome :)

Your mink jaw earrings are awesome.

i was thinking about dyes and you might need to soak it in something to weaken it so the colour can get in. [i know you can also soak ivory to shape it so it might hold true for bone as well - i'm sure you know more of course..i've also seen dyed shells so if thats possible this has got to.

i'd guess a nasty industrial dye would word well - something harsh. let me know how it goes if you try it out.

Hmmm... I wouldn't want to compromise the strength of the bone. It's for that very reason that I've got a bunch of raw chicken bones macerating in a jar in my back garden in a most gruesome and foul smelling stew of bacteria. The easier way would be to cook them, get some poor bastard to eat them, then boil them up. But that would make them brittle, and thus just will not do.

oh okay.

by the way, i noticed you live in melborune - you know that castle looking place in the city [ i think it's called dracula's] is it a club or something and is it any good? it's just that i'm going and want to check it out.

Dracula's is a theatre restaurant. It's a pretty good show, and half the goth scene here seems to have worked there at some point, but the food is pretty shit.

When are you going to Melbourne? www.gothic.org.au/forum has a section with all the clubs and events, so perhaps take a looksie there before you go.

cheers - thats great
going this summer - your winter. most definatly going that BAMF specimen of a zoo.

If you can get hold of Red Ochre, that should definitely stain bone permanently should you feel the urge for an extra bit of tribal-icity ?(I don't think this is even a word...balls , it is now!!! ).

Sorry I couldn't do this by PM, but I'd like to 'reserve' the:
1) Mink Jaw and Leg Bone Necklace with Ankh
2) Mink Vertebrae and Rib Earrings

I'll most probably be purchasing them tomorrow, but I just wanted to make sure they weren't gone before then!

Alright, cool. I can't figure out a way to 'properly' reserve them, so I'll just stick a note of it in the title of the listing. Have you got an Etsy account set up yet? I just want to make sure whoever buys it has your username, haha.
