thorn box raccoon skull mount.

Posted by resonanteye on 07/01/2012

For the creepy home, or those who have raccoon as their totem. Ready-to-hang.
This is a salvaged raccoon skull. I do not know how he died, as he is nature-found. He’s been cleaned, sanitized, and then stained and painted with oil pigment, and mounted firmly in a box filled with dried sweetgum pods, raccoon ribs, coyote teeth (humanely collected), and cornered by hog teeth and bird bones. Everything secured with cured bone glue.

he will ship in a well-protected box within a box.
The box is thin pine, backed with felt, signed on the reverse.

approximately 10×10″.

trickster, coyote skull mount.

Posted by resonanteye on 07/01/2012


trickster, coyote skull. $160 including shipping.

Coyote skull totem, the skull was reclaimed from a road strike.
Cleaned, degreased, sanitized, painted, and stained with oil pigments and mounted on burgundy felt in a light ornate frame, with cicada shells from the Ozarks, tiny birch cones, feathers, deer knuckles, and possum toe bones.

Frame is just over 8×11″, skull stands out about three inches from it. Ready to hang, signed on the back by the artist.

He had a very dry, kind energy to him. I could tell this animal had led a charmed life (until the end) and felt better putting a warm color in this piece. The other animal bones in this piece were collected right alongside him, under some plum trees by the blue highway here.

I feel that he may have been a humorous and crafty animal. I hope I’ve done well by him.

Piece is backed with heavy paper and will ship well-protected in much packaging, price includes tracking and insurance- no international shipping on this guy, sorry. US only.

siuslaw tom, wild turkey skull mount with tooth and shells.

Posted by resonanteye on 06/30/2012


turkey skull mount, $130 including shipping

turkey skull shadowbox assemblage with objects: driftwood, human molar, found feathers, and pebbles, about 6×9″ and 3″ deep, oil paint and bone glue used in construction.

Where I live, wild turkey abound. This skull came from a hunting neighbor- they ate the turkey, but would have discarded its skull. The molar came from a dear friend of mine who had many teeth removed all at once.

The feathers come from a neighbor’s chicken run, and the pebbles and driftwood I collected at Ona Beach on the Oregon coast, west of my home. The seedpods and nut husks were collected in the southeastern US, while I was traveling.
The snail shells were collected at Marys Peak, Oregon, and the single bone on top is from a household pet- a cat, who died of age. The human molar belonged to a friend and has been sanitized.
All items have been cleaned, degreased, sealed and sanitized, then stained or dyed before inclusion in this box.

cost includes packaging, shipping with tracking and insurance.

Insurance and delicate packaging to ensure safe arrival are included in the cost of shipping. I cannot ship this internationally due to import/export laws, sorry.

dog’s wishes, skull mount.

Posted by resonanteye on 06/30/2012


dog wishes taxidermy mount
$150 including shipping

an old, worn, found dog skull properly cleaned, stained, and painted. mounted simply in a birch box with driftwood and starling legs; upon its snout is a wishbone. sealed with matte uv spray and secured with twine and bone glue.

box is approx 10×10″

I had a strong feeling that this dog led a very difficult life; when found, the skull was worn, ragged at the edges, as if it had been sawn or gnawed at. I felt that if I could have given this dog a wish while it lived, I would have.

Of course I cannot be sure of the provenance or history of the animal; I can only speak to the feeling I had, that while I worked on it with love and care and caution, it felt glad, and appreciated the way I worked with it.

process description for this piece:
This skull took a few months to process. using an insect-cleaning method, and then antiseptic and degreasing soaks repeated over time. I use luthier’s bone glue, which I heat and cure for thickness, to mount everything. All parts of this piece are archivally preserved, sealed, and clean.

Cost includes shipping, packaging, handling, with tracking and insurance via USPS. No international shipping, US only.

skunk skull taxidermy mount, the four ways.

Posted by resonanteye on 06/30/2012

skunk taxidermy


skunk skull mount, $140 includes shipping

a very simple assemblage in an approximately 10×10″ square birch shadowbox without glass-
a cleaned and sealed skunk skull, stained and painted with oil based pigments, cradled upon a geometric nest of maple pods which are secured with bone glue.

This skull was wild-collected, and I do not know how he died.
I know that I did not kill him.
The maple pods are fuzzy, and yes they form a swastika, which represents in this case the four winds, not anything negative.

If you’d like to read more about the ritual use of this symbol throughout non-western history, here is a good link to more information.
Price includes handling, packaging, tracking, insurance, and shipping. NO international shipping on this guy, sorry. US only.

shipping cost includes packaging and insurance to prevent damage to the pods or skull.
