Some come from hunters who hunt exclusively for food, some from road kills or other peoples collections Other sources -Scavenged from nature -Owl Pellets -Roadkill -Died naturally (was a pet animal) -A by-product of an industry -A by-product of pest control on farms All bones/teeth have been properly sanitized (see procedures described below) ** Small parts-Choking hazard. Not suited for small children.** NOT A FOOD ** Small parts-Choking hazard. Not suited for small children.** Shipping Please check if your country allows import of this animal parts Canada Economy Shipping DOES NOT INCLUDE TRACKING, please select an upgrade if you wish to track your item and want your parcel to be protected from getting lost in the post etc, unfortunately I can no longer give refunds for 'lost' packages if the tracking upgrade wasn't purchased. I have still left an option to buy standard shipping as I'm aware the tracked postage can be pricey (especially for overseas customers) but please be aware this is at your own risk. However, I will always do my very best to make sure your item(s) arrive to you safely and on time, whatever postage has been selected, but it is out of my control once it enters the postal system. If the item is damaged, a refund can be arranged if a photo is sent. Thank you CaveMansDigs Taxidermy studio Taxidermy disclaimer All animal parts were treated in accordance with standard taxidermy procedures Tissue samples in 8 % Formaldehyde for at least 48 hours, and then transferred to 95% alcohol solution Bones boiled (100 Degrees Celsius) for at least 30 minutes and bleached Skins and paws salted for at least 28 days with sea salt containing 2% washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3) and then soaked with agitation, in a 4%(w/v) solution of washing soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3) maintained at pH 11.5 or above for at least 48 hours Wet samples care instructions All wet samples slowly change with time, tissues became harder and lighter/darker in color. Preserving liquid (in my store it is always alcohol) darkens and evaporates. It is natural and unavoidable process. There are no health hazards related to alcohol. If your specimen is sealed with cork and wax, evaporation will be slower, but you would need to break the seal to replenish alcohol when the levels gets too low (it usually takes long time, but depends on the storing conditions). If you received your specimen unsealed due to the shipping restrictions, you need to fill the jar or the vial with any available alcohol with concentration equal or higher than 70%. Alcohol (isopropyl, ethanol) is easily available in any drugstore or online. If with time your preserving liquid loses transparency you can simply change it. Do not store your specimens in direct sun light or in the room with the temperature higher than 30 Celsius. Store them far away from the open fire source Colder conditions are preferable Please, do not hesitate to ask me if you have any questions

Darkness, The Occult and "One of a Kind" Creations.
This listing is for an oddities mystery box heavily focused on the natural history aspect of collecting. . The contents of this box will be a surprise for the recipient. I create these boxes as they are ordered, so each is unique. . These boxes will include a combination and variation of skulls, bones, insect products, shells, fur, teeth, and/or other animal parts in addition to crystal specimens and/or fossils, and an occasional antique. . The items included vary by price bracket, but a cost breakdown of items will be included within the box. Please note that any orders placed as a gift will not include a cost breakdown unless you ask for one! . Small mystery boxes are not guaranteed to include an animal skull, and if they are included, they will be craft grade specimens. Large boxes will contain AT LEAST 1 skull, typically B grade. XL boxes may include more than one skull. Craft grade skulls and bones are often imperfect. They may have holes, require some further degreasing, or have missing teeth. Other bones included in these boxes are also craft grade, although I pride myself on having quality items in each box that require the least amount of processing as possible. . The large and X large boxes may also include small taxidermy pieces like pufferfish, bat specimens, larger beetles, or skeletonized specimens. Items vary depending on the stock I am able to source at any given time, so please understand that I can not. guarantee specific items in a given box. . Please do not order more than ONE L or XL box at a time. I can not guarantee avoiding duplicates if you do! . This box would be a perfect gift for someone newly into collecting natural history items. . Please take a look at my reviews to get a better idea of what my mystery boxes are like! . If you have any questions or would like a box tailored to your interests, please message me! . . If you order more than once, there may be duplicate items, but please message me with a list of your previous items, and I am usually able to avoid any repeats! . Please understand that these boxes contain natural items, and because of that, they may have some natural damage or be imperfect in some ways. These imperfections are natural and make each piece unique. . ****THE IMAGES OF ITEMS ARE AN EXAMPLE OF SOME ITEMS THAT MAY BE INCLUDED IN A BOX*****

En arrière plan, travaux en cours, pince de homard, globes et supports. De vieux livres, je ne suis pas un lecteur, lecture transversale, je survole / scalpel / découper /extraire : mots, phrases, je cherche l'essence. C'est à dire, je distille, j'épure. C'est cela, on va dire tirer l'essentiel, pas plus, ni moins, ça parle. Less is more. Des photographies ? Un peu comme, il est question de cadre et d'une partie de réalité. Découpe physique, choix de cadrage défini par les mots et le sens que je souhaite donner à cet extrait. Comme une prise de vue, on prend une photo, on choisi (ou pas) ce que l'on inscrit à l'intérieur du cadre. Là, je prends un texte, une formule ? Je pose la question à Fanny ? Une phrase, un texte quelle formule je peux utiliser ? Le livre est un objet, paysage, un voyage et je suis le touriste, je prends ce qui me parle, ce que je trouve beau, grave, triste, ce qui a du sens. Le livre est un jardin, je choisi les meilleurs morceaux, ceux qui ont de la couleur, de la forme, substance, corps et goût. Certainement je choisi parce que cela m'évoque immédiatement une image. Hors contexte, c'est comme pour mes images, extraire c'est pour mieux reconstituer, mieux ré-inventer, mieux évoquer une autre signification aux textes et aux images. De la même façon dont je découpe mes images, mes morceaux de textes forment eux aussi un reliquaire. Morceaux, fragments d'un ensemble qui a existé ultérieurement et qui existent autrement au moment où ils sont associés et composés avec objets, dessin, images...
Creeps to the front.
Sun is shining, birds are chirping, and the living is easy. We’d like to think of nature this way. But it moves in mysterious ways and it’s called Mother Nature for a reason.
The artists at Amphora, an Austrian pottery workshop founded in 1892, echoed the highly ornamental paintings of their contemporaries.
