@teleutte: you had to have started somewhere. as an art student i'm sure you have loved making art for as long as you can remember. your mom just wasn't cool enough to get it posted on apartment therapy :) btw...... skye comes from an immediate family of some pretty famous artists and musicians so we do know a thing or two about the art world.

Great Post! I also collect bugs, bones, nests and skins. This summer I found a baby deer, moose antler, porcupine needles, lunar moth, birds nests, horse bones and an entire snake skin. I will make my husband pull the car over to look at a dead animal up close if I've never seen one up close before. I often mount and frame my finds in deep shadow box frames from Michael's Craft supply store. They always have amazing frame sales and often purchase mine for up to 60% off. Another place to get supplies is from the boneroom.com I am blown away by the amazing colors of insects, intricate weaving of a nest, elegant shapes of bones and the fact that a snake can crawl out of it's own mouth and leave it's old skin behind. Mother Nature is the ultimate designer and I am always humbled by this planet and the creatures that inhabit it. Specimens: Bones and Other Oddities Flag this comment	9/6/11 1:03 PM
I love this challenge! I think with a little education it's easy to know where to buy made in the usa. Go on The American Craft Council website or support local fine art and craft shows in your area. There are 1000's of craft shows nation wide every year. Also you can narrow down your search on etsy to buy strictly from the usa, state or specific city.
