Alright, here's the official launch!

So one of the issues with making artwork with animal parts is legalities. Not only are there federal laws to keep track of, but laws vary from state to state as well, and it can be tough to keep up with what's legal to sell/possess where. Therefore, I present to you my latest creation:

United States-Relevant Animal Parts Laws

This is a thorough, but not exhaustive, collection of links to relevant laws regarding the sale and possession of animal parts in the U.S. It includes both relevant federal and international laws, and laws concerning each of the fifty states.

I AM NOT A LAWYER, AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. I collected this so that other folks like me who collect and/or sell animal parts could have a quick reference to start their own research into legalities and draw their own conclusions. When in doubt, contact the relevant state's fish and game department.

If you have any suggestions of laws that I missed here, or other improvements, please feel free to let me know here or at whishthound (at) gmail.com.

I am offering this as a free resource. You are welcome to share this link to whomever may find it useful. I hope it helps :)

Well, I thought I'd done my last artwork update before the big move. However, the move got moved back a weekend, so I was able to make some more art happen! As always, prices do not include shipping, animal parts may only be shipped in the U.S., LAYAWAY is available, and part of the proceeds go to groups like the Defenders of Wildlife and Wolf Haven International. Everything is available on my website, my Etsy store, and my Artfire.

( Snippety--Full skin javelina totem dance skin, lots of fur bracelets, deer antler headdress, and more! )

And, as always, word of mouth makes the world go 'round--please do pass this on to anyone you feel may be interested. Thank you :)

(Oh, and if you missed it, just a reminder about the launch of my U.S. animal parts-related laws resource!)
