Beautiful Things

I start with a beautiful thing (a real and naturally acquired cow skull) and breathe new life into her using my own creativity, personal design tastes, paint and whatever else I can think up!

Style & Quality

As I've created more pieces I've noticed my cow skull aesthetic seems to reflect my dual upbringings.  From my San Francisco roots to my current life as a cowboy's wife. 

Quality: Every skull I use as part of my art will be 100% authentic - meaning no resin, plaster or horns added to a skull that did not naturally have horns to begin with.

From hand-painted skulls to skulls embellished with lace, crystals, pearls and various other elements, I feel that each piece is beautiful and unique and comes from a place of inspiration. 

100% Handmade

Each piece I have available has been completely designed, cleaned, and made my Yours Truly.

Step 1: Acquire the skull.  They come from ranches all over!  From California, Oregon, Texas and Nevada and beyond.  All found naturally and no animal was harmed for the purpose of their skull.

Step 2: Clean skull.  (I'll spare you the gritty details but it gets pretty Western around these parts during skull cleaning days/weeks).  The cleaning process might take anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months depending on the condition of the skull once I get it.

Step3: Design - whatever I'm in the mood for!

Step 4: Release into the "Wild".  ie, put her online for other people to (*hopefully*) appreciate.
