Code3 Report post Posted February 15, 2022 Idea searching for javelina when I came across this forum thread. Here is a pic of my mounts that may spur creativeness for your own hunt memories. The open mouth was taken 2018, then passive pose was taken 2019; the two fiberglass pieces fit together like a jig saw puzzle to appear as one rock cave. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buff-it Ranch Report post Posted January 13, 2023 I can only sit and bead for a couple hours at a time. I worked on the AZ flag skull for 3 months. The second one took about a month. I would guess the hours at around 50 per skull. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chef Report post Posted January 13, 2023 Here are the skulls that are similar to the ones you make. I figured I would share as they may give some ideas. You can enlarge the photos to get a closer look. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2 Full Curls Report post Posted January 13, 2023 Jack White did the first one of these that I ever saw back in the 70s for my uncle. @MogollonTaxidermy recreated it for me. Jack did the best pig rugs. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CatfishKev Report post Posted January 14, 2023 Very cool. How is it done, do you put glue on the skull then set one bead at a time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buff-it Ranch Report post Posted January 14, 2023 It’s called Huichol. It involves spreading a special wax on the surface and then applying one bead at a time. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huichol_art 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
