There's a store in my area called The Bone Room.

nice :D i liked 5 more than 7 .. way more .. its more elegant .. although the bluntness of 7 adds to its own charm and seems like it was created by some old homini with less dexterity than 5...

rambling on as usual

hmmm did you use a specific glue or epoxy to set the stones in the horns??

Ah I've done business with them before, thank you.

I've been using mixes of glass microbeads and cyanoacrylate cement. Crazy Glue is one cyanoacrylate brand, but I use a thin, fast-setting stuff I get at model airplane places (it comes in several brands, each of which has thickness and speed variations you can buy); it wicks into the micro-beads and is transparant and doesn't make blobs and I can clean off any excess with careful local application of acetone. Microbeads are available in many colors at hobby shops, but I have a huge bag of clear ones from a local traffic stripe painting spill. Sometimes I pour in microbeads and drop on some cement, sometimes I dab on some cement and add microbeads; it depends on the particular bit I'm doing.

I love your intention tools. There is just something about them that just speaks to me *is still loving on her antler pendant/intention tool from Pantheacon*

To me, 7 looks so much better in reality than in any picture I was able to get; which was very frustrating. Definitely 5 is much more photogenic.
