Deer Antler Jewelry Reveal

My husband, the avid deer hunter contributes to my jewelry making supplies by saving spent shell casings and now deer antlers for me.

Of course, that is the only reason he goes hunting-NOT!

This is the picture I showed you awhile back of some of the antlers he had cut.

This is what I have making with them...

 I made the pendant from an etched shell casing and the tip of an antler.  

After cutting the antler, I washed and sealed it with Renaissance wax.

 The bracelet is part of the same antler.  

It has a 22 caliber shell casing as a dangle.

I made this necklace from a curved piece of an antler, then drilled 

it for wire. It has wire wrapped sari silk and a 

antler slice pendant.

I made the earrings from antler slices and 22 caliber shell casings.

This is the first time I have worked with bone and I found I like it.

Have you made anything with deer antlers?

I would love to hear about it!
