Process

I take clean and processed deer and other animals skulls. And I paint them. I apply 16 to 18 coats of paint and then I sand it down to get the desired look I am looking for Soxand then I finish it.

Inspiration

I was inspired to make something creative out of a plane deer skull several years ago. I tried different methods and landed on the method I do now.

Fun Facts

My brother actually goes out in the woods and finds the deer skulls. most of the time after they've been hit by a car. I clean them up and I paint them instead of letting them rot and I turn them into something beautiful
