I have beaded numerous elk skulls for my husband, and have them displayed around our home. Being that they are his trophies, he won't part with them for me to display them publicly. Which is why I was super excited to stumble upon Clear Creek Trading in Sedona last time I passed through. Clear Creek had two elk skull for sale, so I was able to purchase one and am excited to display it at my upcoming shows.
I love the elk skulls, as they look so elegant when hung!
Acraea is name for the Travelore embellished broach which is the cornerstone for the inspiration for this piece. This broach depicting a Variable False Acraea Butterfly comes from a fun shop I always like to visit when I am in Jerome, AZ called Bolshevita (https://www.bolshevita.com/).
