Any suggestions on where I can purchase humanely sourced specimens ? I love in the city and don't come across much. Thanks !

Well, before I could answer that question I’d have to know what your definition of “humanely sourced” is.

“Humanely sourced” is one of those phrases that, like “ethical”, varies from person to person.

Do you mean animals that were killed quickly and as painlessly as possible? That would leave a lot of options open. There’s a chunk of eBay sellers, many Etsy sellers, big fur and bone websites like Moscow Hide & Fur, Facebook bone/hide/oddity seller groups, local furrier stores or oddity shops in your area, and then some who could offer animals who were killed in a humane manner. If you can find out the animal’s country of origin that would probably be your best indication, since you’ll be able to look up the country’s animal cruelty laws. Avoid anything coming from China, where there are currently no animal welfare/cruelty laws in place. (note: most stuff coming from China wasn’t necessarily killed in China, as they tend to be a larger buyer and processor of furs, however “it’s better safe than sorry”)

If you want to know that the animal lived a good life, I’d recommend getting to know farmers and maybe even pet breeders or websites that sell scientific specimens and may source from veterinarians and see what ones fit your needs and if you’d be willing to support them. I know Promise Land Tannery (also known as Furries on Etsy) often has farm-sourced animals, for example. You could also just stick to wild-caught animals, since you know those animals lived in the wild. Not necessarily “humane” in many situations (as there is always the threat of starvation, predators, exposure, etc.), but many people tend to view a natural wild life for animals as a good one. That would open up the door to buying from almost anywhere, so long as they sell wild-caught specimens. Just make sure to ask if the animals are wild or farmed, and know what species/variations are only found in captivity.

Do you mean animals who only died of natural causes, or as accidents like roadkill? That limits things a lot more. I’d recommend going to Etsy and checking out different shops. WolfTea comes to mind when I think of people who strictly work with salvaged animal parts, though there are definitely others out there. Another place to find them would again be on Facebook, especially in the Vulture Culture groups on there where you can specifically ask for people who work with found/salvaged specimens. Of course, the oddity groups can and do offer animals that fall into this category of “humanely sourced” as well. And don’t forget to look for sale posts here on Tumblr, too!

If you’re looking for animals that are plentiful and thus whose populations would not be harmed by harvesting them in any way, you’ll need to look into the particular animals you’re interested in collecting. For example, seahorses are currently doing very poorly, even though you can buy dried specimens and buy wild-caught seahorses as pets. There is, however, one and only one seahorse breeder located in Hawaii who would be an ethical source since their seahorses don’t have any impact on wildlife, and in fact by supporting them you are giving your money to the only breeder out there standing between seahorses and certain extinction by providing pets to the market. Likewise, foxes tend to be abundant in many places, however if you really wanted to do the most good you could choose to only buy foxes from Australia, where they are an invasive species and taking a large toll on native wildlife. Wolves in Canada are more plentiful than wolves in the lower 48 US states. Buying a ranched mink has no negative effect on wild mink. And so on, and so on.

There’s also other options, such as purchasing from thrift stores/second-hand stores, where you know your purchase will not be supporting the fur trade or any kind of black market directly in case that’s where your ethical qualms are. A good number of second-hand stores are also charity operations for various causes. You won’t know the cause of the animal’s death or how it lived though, so if that’s what you want to focus on you should probably avoid purchasing from these stores.

I hope one of those categories covered what you were talking about! Sorry I can’t give more specific names, there’s simply too many to cite and I’d hate to miss out on good ones that I just personally do not know.

psst

We have just updated our shop <3 Filled with more handmade goods for you all. A little preview of whats available in the etsy shop.

Below you can see how we have both been running with our copper muses lately...... Bryan has been making all kinds of amazing armor inspired neck pieces...the textures that have been coming out of his hammering remind me of rolling fire flames. He is becoming quite the copper guy <3 I on the other hand just discovered how much more i like working with copper wire apposed to steel.... SO MUCH SOFTER, holy shit. My grandma tendonitis wrists are thanking me for laying of the hard ass steel. little side note... all the copper wire pieces are made from old reclaimed electrical wire : )

Some earrings below, getting back into making brass charms again,.... mostly because i wanted an excuse to use some of my porcupine quills, something about the worn brass with the black and white of a quill makes me very very happy. Also have a few other misc earrings... some lovely secondhand pheasant feather singles, a large pair of recycled belt metal and salvaged beads... of course with a little quill thrown in annnd some steel hoops with misc stone beads.

You can find all these handmade beauties right HERE in our shop <3

This copper textured bib piece is so simple but i love it. Rustic, raw and the textures remind me of deep rolling flames... do you see it?

The thing i love about textured copper... when it is truly textured by hand and hammer... is how incredibly different each piece turns out... one is never like the other, and there is something special in that.

This necklace is available in the shop ---> HERE

Some fun new designs with reclaimed copper

Recently discovered the thick annealed steel i usually use is about to run out, and that 90 percent of the hardware stores in our area do not carry it anymore. So while on the hunt to restock our supply, i decided to dive into copper more. We have a big roll of coated electrical copper wire that i found at a knick knack thrift store months ago. Its nice because not only is buying old electrical wire much more beneficial on your wallet but it is also kind of fun getting to strip down the wax sleeve. So here you go, some necklaces made with secondhand electrical wire. I even stepped out of my shell and bought a bunch of discount beads from a craft supplier.... not the usual cup of tea for me but when a craft store has a dollar bin or discount bin for messed up items.... you can bet your ass im in their trying to scavenge some goods. Still feels like cheating though, much rather put money toward salvaged secondhand beads. this was the first necklace i made playing around with the wire and giant beads..... it was so much fun i made more.

Ive had this scapula for months now and never knew how to use it, so i wrapped it to some copper and adorned the piece with a large glass bead and some quartz chips. kinda like it <3

This one below is my favorite, its strange and a little large.... but abstract and fun. Again more reclaimed copper wire and some large olive green glass beads.

And my second favorite. Ill have to try incorporating triangles more often with these necklaces! i like the outcome <3

If you like what you see, they are all avaliable in our etsy shop Wolftea.etsy.com

Puttering around with some brass

Discovered an old forgotten sheet of brass within the supply drawer and thought it was about damn time to make some brass charms. Perched next to an open window in the early morning with a mug of coffee, i spent a whole afternoon snipping sheets of metal.

After getting cut, each piece got a quick hole punch, light sanding and hammering for texture. From there they were given a very light patina.. You can see a marbled texture in the patina results, that is due to natural oils from my fingers residing on the pieces of metal and acting as a resist for the patina solution. So where you see more brass color coming through.... is where i held the metal the most when cutting and sanding.

After the patina bath they got filed to help alleviate some of the more uneven edges, a quick light sand over the patina and then they were adorned! Below are some of the earrings that manifested from these charms! * quills utilized were scavenged from a roadkill raccoon we processed nearly a year ago*

You can find all of these spread about in both of the online shops wolfteacreations.bigcartel.com and wolftea.etsy.com Brewing ideas to make a brass charm photo tutorial? perhaps?
