African Nynala Remount

Thanks guys I always wanted a Nynala to hang on my own wall and this just seemed like a cheap easy way to get a nice set of horns with a matching cape, lol

That is the funniest thing I've ever read on this site, thanks ;D

Mr. Jim, not to give away too many secrets, lol but all I did was work the hide over a dull rounded blade, like a staking tool to break the fibers as well as I could. I also shaved the hide down to the proper thickness

The eyelids were by far the worst part of the whole cape, not because they were completely gone, but because they were like shredded ribbons, and most of the eyelashes are gone. I was able to sorta make something of it, but it still looks terrible. This is one of those "Hang em high and dim the Lights" kind mount.

No, this one was a relaxing weekend project



What's really got me frustrated is that whenever I post something that I really think turned out great, not many people say anything, and then something like this piece that I mounted months ago, well before I went to Africa and didn't even want to post pictures of, gets a lot of comments. I guess I just don't know which pieces are the best :/

 

Well that's too bad, but I guess you are right, I know a lot of song writers that hate their songs that end up at the top of the charts. And we truly are artists. I really like that phrase "It's not Art unless someone doesn't like it".... so very true, I just never thought of it in the way that I might be that someone that doesn't like my Art, lol
