Humans are always trying to recreate nature. Sometimes taxidermy is creepy, but other times it has an eternal feeling to it, like an ancestral link to a world far away. Julia de Ville of DisceMori designs all sorts of accessories inspired by Momento Mori jewelry of the 15th century. Some of it, I believe is a bit gruesome and brutal. But then again, we live in a world so removed from death. It’s really nice to see that this kind of work, where the pieces of death make life seem all that much more mysterious.

hello Jennine ! love your new blog ! good luck in your new sit may it inspire you to write us many an interesting post ! that wing creeps me .. i don’t like taxidermy as i believe their poor bodies should rest in earth and not like that …
however i love those gloves !
can we see what the wing would look like on a person?
WOW this looks AMAZING!!! Fantastic new design. I still am a bit afraid ro move F&ART but it is about time I guess…
Just stopping by to say the site looks fantastic. It’s also easy to use and easy on the eyes.
Great job, J.!
I love memento mori.
adam… i wish i could see what that wing would look like on my person…
and f&art… you do a great job with your site, but i can see what you mean too… it’s scary!
wendy, i can see how you would like it from your own jewelry, has quite a lot of 15th century references!
lovely new site!

Love the new blog! Good job, girl! Can i just say that i loved ur old header? More than this one i’m afraid.
And yeah taxidermy creeps me out. None for me thanks!
I like your new site!
one of the good brands. i have a big thing for feathers, draped chain, and bird bones- the brooch is brilliant. i make cuffs much like the black ones but i’d buy that other piece.
creepy creepy :S
luv your new place! i’m linking you now
*my blog is reborn under a new name+adress. hope you like it too!
I find taxidermy very appealing, as a youngster I used to find it a little creepy, but that’s not the case now.
Congrats on the new site, by the way, it’s very aesthetically pleasing, though I hope you’ll still be present on blogger!
