Re: source for bones for drawing

For cheap bones you need to get in contact with someone
who has ranch or farm land. I've already packed my skulls
to take to Albuquerque. Frani bought me a cows skull. The
triplets found a deer's skull on their land and gave it to me.
I even packed a hornets nest I use to decorate my studio.
If you have friends who are driving west this summer look
for places that sell bones. I pass lost of sites with stacks
of skulls as I drive to Taos. I'm sure skulls go for over
fifty dollars.

You can even buy them over the web:

http://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/Skulls.html

I got the above from a Goggle search.
