A few Vertebrae Garlands are left in the shop 💀🌿 Next Garland update will be in late April or early May. . . Why the delay? Well, mostly because we only use bones we have gathered from the woods & each batch we gather takes a month or more to clean. . . Cold winter temps slow down our outdoor maceration buckets & limits our time outdoors .. limiting our access to bones ❄️🌨️ . . - luckily, it's warming up & We have several sets of bones currently in the cleaning process that will be ready in a month or two 🦷 thank y'all so much for being patient and just super awesome in general 🖤 . . . . . . #vertebraegarland #vertebragarland #igatherthedead #deertalisman #deerbones #heathensofinstagram #witchyhome #animist #witchcraft #honorthedead #takeonlywhatyouneed #vultureculture #deadwhenwemet #bonecollecting https://www.instagram.com/p/CpWOe2jPXzx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last Deer Garland update (for a while) - today at 4 p.m. 💀🌿 . . Winter's colder temps slow down maceration & bacterial activity - which slows down our ability to clean bones. . . And because we collect bones from forests & roadsides they often need Lots of cleaning. . . We don't use harsh chemicals or soaps when cleaning (until the very end). Instead we focus on letting nature do her job. We use water, organic all natural soaps & time. . . We do use #hydrogenperoxide as a last step to whiten and disinfect the bones. . . Remember to treat your bones with care : 🚫 no boiling, 🚫 no bleach & no harsh chemicals - these methods can damage or weaken the bones.
