This beautiful set of deer antlers, is from a buck who once lived in the woods behind my house.  Occasionally, the deer on the estate where I live, have to be culled due to countryside and land management rules.  In an effort to preserve the antlers of these unfortunate animals, I have decided to mosaic their skulls in a bid to honour their lives in the circle of life.  I have decorated the skull in vintage gold plated ceramics and bone china cup handles. To add a bit of bling, I have embellished the design with a piece of diamanté costume jewellery and stainless steel ballbearings.
