Responsible Sourcing
Responsible Sourcing Statement
At Gather Your Bones, our commitment to the environment and responsible practices is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that art and nature should coexist harmoniously, and that ethos extends to the bones and skulls we use to craft our mixed-media pieces. All bones and skulls are legally and carefully procured by us or from small businesses. No animals are harmed by us, or for the purpose of our art.
Local Roots:
We take pride in sourcing a majority on our bones from local landscapes, farms, and ranches. We explore the depths of nature's offerings, carefully gathering and foraging items that have fallen naturally in our wilderness areas or are in surplus in our local farms and ranches. By choosing local sources, we contribute positively to the ecosystems that inspire our creations.
Sustainable & Responsible Collaboration:
Other sources include roadkill, hunting waste and taxidermy leftovers, making use of leftovers and waste that would otherwise go unused. This ensures that no part of an animal's remains goes to waste and serves as a testament to our belief in responsible consumption.
Respect for Life:
Every bone and skull we use in our art has a history, a story to tell. We honor the animals that once inhabited these remains by treating them with the utmost respect and appreciation. Our creations serve as a bridge between the natural world and human creativity, fostering a deep appreciation for the beauty and cycles of life.
At Gather Your Bones, our responsible sourcing practices are a reflection of our dedication to creating art that not only captivates but also respects and enriches the world around us. We invite you to join us on this journey of conscious creativity, where every piece tells a story of reverence for all living beings.
Crafting Magick
Crafting Magick:
Our techniques are a blend of innovation and tradition, refined over years of dedicated practice. Each piece is a labor of love, a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity. Through a harmonious dance of various media techniques, we create art that resonates with both the observer's heart and soul.
Preserving Beauty for Eternity:
To ensure that our creations withstand the test of time, each piece is finished with a UV resistant varnish. This protective layer shields the artwork from the harsh effects of light, allowing you to enjoy your Gather Your Bones masterpiece for generations to come. Our dedication to longevity reflects our desire to see our art become a cherished heirloom, passed down through the ages.
Unveiling the Unseen:
While the specifics of our materials and techniques vary with each piece, the magick they create is evident in every piece that leaves our studio. These mixed-media creations are an invitation to explore the unseen, to embrace the mystique of the wild and the marvel of human creativity entwined.
