Old Bones
Today, I spent the majority of the day walking around…. window shopping, checking out the scenes, looking for visual inspiration. As a native Californian, the age of the city the old churches and antique stores.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over neck ruffles, even these medieval church sculptures inspire…
Bone to pick
The antique jeweler Horst Fuchs on Westenriederstrasse stopped me in my tracks… of course the grotesque fascination with taxidermy and momento mori sparked a few ideas of what one could do with these antique pewter charms and old coins.
Now I’m off to do some more wandering.

You know I’m all about the memento mori too! Fabulous stuff!
Oh my goodness! Hunting relics! I’ve been looking for more of these for ages, I’m so jealous! Were they expensive?
I like that odd looking mammalian creature on the left of the top pic — is it DIPPED?
I too am a native Californian and am already impressed with some of the ‘older’ things I see on the East Coast but just can’t imagine how much awe I’ll feel peering up at European buildings when I finally get over there.
@wendy, you make excellent momentos!
@hannah… ohh hunting relics, yes, they were expensive, but not too outrageous….
@woodley i think it’s encrusted, not dipped, though that would be awesome.
omg wow. i envy your travels.
Wow…those are beautiful, haunting images. On a lighter note, I can totally see you rocking some medieval neck ruffles.
I couldn’t possibly wear these but they are beautiful to look at….
