I think it’s a given that we are all windstone collectors here at the board… but I know most everyone here collects something in addition to windstones. So, howabout seeing some other collections?
Myself, I collect animal skulls, bones, pelts, antlers, and horns. My room at home has been dubbed the “chapel of death” because my collection has gotten so big! But I do more than that – I take skins, skulls, and mounts that have seen better days and restore them to beautiful condition. I don’t have any pictures of my collection yet, but some of my gems include:
– A taxidermy mule deer head (with a good size 5×5 rack)that I meticulously restored from a rather sorry shape. His ear was tattered, and his fur was really dusty and in need of a good cleaning with a bit of lanolin.
– A huge greater kudu bull skin (over 8′ long!) that I practically stole off ebay for a song, and have since restored it to almost pristine shape after delicately repairing holes in the hide.
– A reindeer skin that was a little dusty, but with a little lanolin and TLC has returned to a state where you couldn’t tell that it wasn’t fresh from a tannery!
– A huge alaskan coyote pelt that was in bad shape with a huge gash in the leather, but with TLC and lanolin also was given a second chance!And as a slight sidenote, if anyone has skulls and bones and pelts that they want to go to a good home, I would be more than happy to buy or trade for them, especially if it’s in need of a little TLC, or just needs a second chance.
And as a second note, I realize my sort of collection is frowned upon in some circles. I would like to add than none of the animals that I have collected were killed by me. A lot of what I have is either found or second hand and would have normally wound up on the trash heap if not for a little TLC. In my opinion, that’s not a fitting or respectful end from something that was once a part of a living animal. Plus, they make excellent references for my wildlife art.
So… howabout some other collections?
