I love this! I think a wreath might be super cool too! Thanks for putting this together!

Whoa, how did I miss this last year? Neat stuff! I'll give it a try after I boil the bones for stock. The camera's focus on the surrounding trees leaves the bones looking a bit like popcorn, though - using the macro mode would make them pop out and look more impressive.

No offense, but this site IS ALL ABOUT clever uses for what some people view as "garbage" . Native Americans are rumored to have used neck bones as children's toys. I use them for Halloween costumes when I do "Cave People" outfits. Mother Nature, and contributors to this site both make beautiful things.

I did and I also have ornaments made with various bird wishbones -- a bird hunter friend donates parts :-). Mother nature makes beautiful things!
