The poor farmers around here still have water laying in their fields. I'll bet they are checking the want ads for summer work, 'cause it doesn't look good for planting.
But I have been working in my studio too. I have a couple of pieces in the works, and I finished this. I don't know what kind of jaw this is for sure. I think it's a Deer. I'm almost positive it is.
Anyway, I drilled a hole(very carefully) in it for the hangar. And then just started painting.
I gave it a light base and used the metallic craft paints again. They seem to work best on skulls and bones.I did the black parts because the bone was so rough it wouldn't take dot painting.
I gave it a sinew hanger and a turquoisebead, shell slice and Duck feather embellishment.
I'm liking the black parts and may have to play around with them some more.
I am working on another heavily backgrounded piece like 'Life Outside The Window'. And another shrine.
Oh and I am doing a little surprise for my online buddy Dawn (Gold Betty Boop). I saw an image that made me think of her and I had to do something with it.
Peace

A girl after my own heart!! Love that you aren't icked out. I did shoulder bones with witch signs last fall...I think bones make wonderful surfaces for art!

Yes indeed, it is a deer jaw. And a beauty now, too. I love the dots and yes, the black area too.
Beautiful work, Mary! I love how you create such gorgeous work from these raw/natural materials.
ps...I was honored with a blog award and I had to choose 5 other art bloggers who inspired me w/their creativity and I named you! :)

I was looking at this and turning my head sideways to try to figure out what exactly this was when I first saw it. He/She had a good set of teeth!
Love the black and white dotted contrast. I love your creative eye!
Great piece.
I have a friend with a similar jawbone. Sent her a link to see this. :)
Hope I can acquire more bones at some point. I like working with them too.
Mary, you're scary! When you start arting up a human skeleton, I won't even be surprised! What a wonderful imagination you have. Bet as a kid you didn't sit around twiddling your thumbs saying "I'm bored".....
