Badass Bones Taxidermy and Curiosities

Badass Bones Taxidermy and Curiosities Badass Bones is currently open to personally commissioned paintings, jewelry, and home decor. I'm not Welcome to Badass Bones Taxidermy and Curiosities!

My name is Erica Heath and I’m from the small town of Philomath, Oregon. Since I was a child, I’ve had a fascination with skulls and other bones when my father would bring home dog, raccoon, and coyote skulls he found here and there. Only recently have I started using my small collection to make elaborate pieces of artwork. Badass Bones brings you many, unique works of art from painted, engraved,

or wood-burned skulls, to hanging mobiles and decorated horse shoes. If you prefer old, cowboy-western art, I’ve got something for you. If you like traditional or tribal décor, I’ve also got something for you. If you enjoy the presence of the spooky or macabre in your home, I specialize in that sort of work! My philosophy is to preserve and utilize every possible piece of an animal that Mother Nature leaves behind, and bring them to you! Often times I will incorporate feathers, fur, teeth, claws, antler, leather, glass beads, driftwood, and other beautiful nature-made or hand-made bits and pieces into my finished product. Many of my materials come from right here in Oregon, be it death by hunters, nature, or cars! Most of my elk materials came from our coast range. Many of my raccoon, coyote, and rabbit furs and skulls come from the Willamette Valley. Also, due to the lovely donations of local hunters, farmers, and taxidermists I’m able to stay pretty local with all of my deer materials. I purchase many of my larger skulls through taxidermists and collectors both in the United States and Internationally! I’m able to bring you many rare pieces including kangaroo fur, lion skulls, reindeer antlers, and crocodile teeth (just to name a few) by collaborating with the taxidermy artists and collectors of Deviant Art! Basically, if you want it, I’ve got it or I can get it! Not only will I bring you pieces from my own collections and imagination, but I am AVAILABLE FOR COMMISSIONS! If you want something specific, contact me right away and we can begin to build a unique and specific piece for you! Maybe you want a specific skull? Do you want a unique painting of your choice? Maybe you want me to work on one of your personal skulls or hunting trophies? Maybe you want specific feathers, teeth, or fur? We can do that! Keep in mind that what I currently bring you is only the beginning of what Badass Bones plans to be! With your help, we can get the ball rolling and I can purchase skulls/furs/other materials that may be tougher to find, harder to get, or require more cash! With more time and practice, I hope to produce pieces with elaborate wood-burning, engraving, and stone/jewel setting. With more schooling and help from you, I hope to get more serious with my love of traditional taxidermy and bring you the finest mounts and rugs! Go shop around my page, feel free to ask questions, contact me about commissions, and don’t forget to visit the tab that shows you how YOU can help Badass Bones!

Hey everyone! GOOD NEWS! Thanks to my earrings I have raised $73 for Pl@nned P@renthood so far! Please, please take home a pair you like, share this post, come to the r@lly on Monday, or donate directly to Pl@nned P@renthood! We really need you right now, this is a human rights crisis!

Thank you SO much to Tim Thoming for your donation of $50 AND the earrings bought to be gifted to people on Monday at the r@lly!

Included are pictures of several types of earrings I have available! Keep in mind there are several options, colors, beads, etc. and I can make necklaces as well! Half of the proceeds goes to Pl@nned P@renthood and half goes to me to cover materials which I found are INSANELY expensive at Michael's today while buying wire and beads!!

Also included is the info about the goings on downtown Corvallis on Monday, 4th of July, in support of people with uteri! We cannot sit by and celebrate a country's freedom when it isn't truly free!

For the earrings, I take PayPal, cash, or Ca$h App and can ship to your door for $4 extra!
Keep your eye out for my post of the fundraiser for PP!
Prices in photos.
NOTE: If you donate $10+ directly to PP and screen shot for proof, I will give you a pair of earrings!

Karakul wool jacket with mink trim. One small stain on neck trim. Satin or silk inside, I don't know the difference. Original owner's name embroidered inside. I'd consider it a small. I'm 160 lbs and 5'7" and it looks a little silly when I clasp it. Love it though!!
