What are you up to today?
Looking for supplies to make my jewelry. I take vintage pieces and pair them with found objects, like bones.

Bones?
Mostly animal bones.

Where do you get them?
I have people I’ve found online. One woman lives in the mountains of Pennsylvania and she finds the bones and boils them and sends them.

Does “mostly animal bones” mean some are human bones?
No, no, no! I use mostly bones but also feathers and shells and other parts. I’ve never used human bones.

Think it would raise your street cred if you did?
It probably would, if I could figure out how to get some.
