Livin': Helter Skeletons
We wandered across what might just be the coolest way ever to mount that 'ol five pound bass you been stalkin'. That is of course if ya ever land him. Grant, Eric and Brian over at Helter Skeletons will "skeletonize" your catch and mount it in glass with a nice mahogany shadowbox. They also have a bunch you can choose from if you're the kind of fisherman that I am, and only bring home a sunburn and a hangover.
Here's the lowdown from their site:
"Helter Skeletons Limited specializes in marine skeletal art work. We travel the globe in search of innovative art and new techniques to present the skeletons to our customers. Not only do we create skeletal mounts of our customers' fish, but we can also create a range of products and designs to meet their every need. Our work may be found in galleries, museums, logos, clothing designs, movies, tattoos, boats, and vehicle wraps. Bring us your idea and we will deliver you custom skeletal art to benefit your lifestyle or business." Continue Reading...
