*****************

All bone that I use in my work has been processed by me and comes from animals whose bodies I have found in the woods or along the road.

I believe that admiring the bones of another animal allows us to not only pay homage to that specific animal, but to also reflect on and embrace the beauty of being a wild creature- accepting life and death as it comes.

All of my work is 100% handmade in the USA.
Bones have been collected from the wild and beautiful creatures of Bucks County, PA.
I process and clean/sanitize all bones my self.

Please be gentle with your bone embroidery. Although bone and teeth are a relatively strong material it is recommended that your piece be handled gingerly.
