So I'm doing some experimenting on a recipe and technique for growing crystals on antlers for a new way to display antlers and for some possible 'rouge' taxidermy.
First recipe, good big crystal, but not very well adhered to antler and fairly delicate.
Second recipe worked better. They crystal size is smaller (need to work on that) but it's *much* more solid, hardened right to the antler. It's still wet here so it's hard to see the full definition. I'm going to be adding some purple to give it an amethyst look. Right now I'm adding some crystals to the tines. I will then mount it to a tree slice and add some large pieces of quartz and some moss for a full display.
Detail of crystals
Will post more as I refine and finish. They will be for sale if I can come up with a good durable product.
