Bone love heart  Real mice, shrew & vole bones  12x12cm  2024

Real bone heart

This beautiful little love heart features only the tiniest bones and teeth I have available in my collection, including tail bones, teeth, epiphyses, vertebrae, toe & foot bones. This heart measures just over 5cm across.

Each bone heart is unique using different bones and a different layout, inspired by the natural flow of the bones.

This beautiful artwork is mounted onto matte black Fabriano card, then the artwork has been mounted slightly off the background to give it a slight 3D effect. It is displayed in a 12x12cm black shadowbox frame with a matte black border.

Each artwork in this style I make is unique using a different layout of bones each time. All my templates are hand drawn and cut out, this outline may be used in future pieces. This particular piece took 9 hours to create, not including the processes that take place before the artworks are started.

 

My artworks are made with real bones sourced ethically/naturally through wild owl pellets. The bones are dissected from the owl pellets and then they are cleaned and whitened. Then they are sorted through meticulously into my bone boxes ready to use for art.

 

My art process is long and tedious. Each bone has been individually selected and carefully put into place before glueing them down. Tweezers and a needle are used to carefully move the bones to make sure they work with one another and flow naturally.
