Last Deer Garland update (for a while) - today at 4 p.m. 💀🌿 . . Winter's colder temps slow down maceration & bacterial activity - which slows down our ability to clean bones. . . And because we collect bones from forests & roadsides they often need Lots of cleaning. . . We don't use harsh chemicals or soaps when cleaning (until the very end). Instead we focus on letting nature do her job. We use water, organic all natural soaps & time. . . We do use #hydrogenperoxide as a last step to whiten and disinfect the bones. . . Remember to treat your bones with care : 🚫 no boiling, 🚫 no bleach & no harsh chemicals - these methods can damage or weaken the bones. Check my highlights for #bonecleaning tips. . . . . . . . . #igatherthedead #igtdskulls #skullcollecting #skullcleaning #bonecollecting #bonecleaning #vultureculture #deertalisman #deathgoddess #deathpositive #darkaesthetic #heathensofinstagram #animism #witchyhome #bonemagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVq322P7sS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
