While I can’t tell you all of the secrets that make these pieces look as good as they do, I can let you in on what makes this work high quality.
It’s no secret that getting a snake shed onto flat medium is a long, arduous and at times painstaking process. Depending on the quality of the snake shed, an artwork can be a relatively straightforward process or a scale by scale reconstruction.
The skin cannot be applied directly and still yield an acceptable result.
First, it must be conditioned - relaxed, reshaped, and patiently coaxed into the flow and posture I envision.
To add to that difficulty, one wrong drop of glue, fabric cut, incorrect placement, or mistake can ruin the entire project. Complete sheds are surprisingly hard to source, as most snakes slough off in pieces.
Once the snake shed is applied, there’s no going back.
When you buy a piece, you know that it’s made with quality materials and the care and attention to detail that it deserves.
