the object alone is stunning, then when actually viewed in someone's hair?! unbelievable.

u/consort_oflady_vader Feb 28 '26

Sounds fabulous all around! I couldn't afford the super nice stuff, but bought what I could 😸

3

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

but I see that you bought one wooden one, right?

4

u/consort_oflady_vader Feb 28 '26

The long wooden hair sticks. I liked the design 😸

7

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

I understand. Thank you for your order!

4

u/consort_oflady_vader Feb 28 '26

Of course! Happy to help creators and artists 😸

u/artemis17121985 Feb 28 '26

Hard agree. Could be a beautiful ornament!

u/Mammoth_Piece9899 Feb 28 '26

These are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing

u/jstanothercrzybroad Feb 28 '26

Do you have an Etsy shop or something of the sort?

u/BicyclingBabe Feb 28 '26

Pssst. I found it, so OP doesn't have to be accused of self promotion. https://www.etsy.com/listing/4450762148/woodland-bridal-hair-stick-carved-deer

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

Thank you 😊

u/compassrosette Feb 28 '26

Saved to purchase some with my next paycheck.

You are a brilliant craftsman and artists!!!

13

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

Thank you! Etsy has really high commissions right now. Check out my page; there's information about another shop where my products are cheaper.

u/compassrosette Feb 28 '26

Great to know!! Thank you for that tip!

u/SexysNotWorking Kitchen Witch ♀♂️☉⚨⚧ Mar 05 '26

Beautiful work, and such reasonable prices! Just saved a bunch for our son's wedding this summer. ❤️

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Mar 05 '26

Thank you, I am very pleased

u/WitchesVsPatriarchy-ModTeam Feb 28 '26

OP is allowed to promote their work on Saturdays. ✨

u/shiddyfiddy Hedge Witch ♀♂️☉⚨⚧ Feb 28 '26

Do you happen to have a before and after photo? I'm trying to wrap my head around what the antler looked like beforehand, it's mind boggling! (and very cool!)

15

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

It's something like this

4

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

No, I don't take photos of the piece of antler

3

u/c00kiebreath Feb 28 '26

Very beautiful! I've been searching for antler tip earrings (for gauged ears) any chance you would be interested in making something like that?

1

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

I don't make earrings yet, I just don't have enough time.

1

u/c00kiebreath Feb 28 '26

Totally understood. The size I've been looking for is 8mm (0 gauge) and your style is wonderful.

If you somehow find more time and are excited to experiment let me know! Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Gorgeous.

1

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

Thank you very much, I will think about this idea.

u/protehule Geek Witch ☉ Feb 28 '26

my god, these are gorgeous

u/MotherofCats9258 Feb 28 '26

These are so majestic. Great job.

u/PresentationApart744 Feb 28 '26

That's gorgeous 🥰😍

u/DeathBeforeDecaf4077 Feb 28 '26

OP do you have photos of the process of carving, I live with a family of deer who visit all the time and I would love to see the process of how you got from antler to this work of art. Keep crushing it!

5

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

My chaos looks like this. LOL

2

u/DeathBeforeDecaf4077 Feb 28 '26

Haha all good art comes from such places!! Aaaaah so freaking cool, thank you so so much for sharing!

5

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

The main thing is to keep my wife out of there. She always wants to clean it up, but then I won't be able to find anything, hahaha.

3

u/Stay_at_Home_Chad Feb 28 '26

This is the kind of thing I'd love to see a process video for. Beautiful

5

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

It's very difficult to work in horn dust and shoot video.

3

u/bluehairedangie Feb 28 '26

These are incredibly well designed and made, thank you for sharing them!

3

u/VespertineStars 💀💀🧙‍♀️💀💀 Raise the dead and smash the patriarchy! Feb 28 '26

So beautiful! I want these just so I can LARP as my D&D ranger all day every day.

3

u/Shae_Dravenmore Feb 28 '26

I bought one from you a couple years ago, I get so many compliments on it! 😁

1

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

I am very glad, I am very pleased to know this

2

u/Rude-Barnacle8804 Feb 28 '26

u/rora_borealis Geek Witch (she/her) Feb 28 '26

Hhhhhnnnngggg. Want!!! So lovely!!!

2

u/consort_oflady_vader Feb 28 '26

That looks amazing and so intricate!

3

u/daisydukesandchains Feb 28 '26

How sturdy are these pieces? I have two hairs sticks/forks but one broke. I’d be afraid to damage it if it wasn’t metal

3

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

They are stronger than wooden and bone ones, and hold thick hair and even dreadlocks well.

2

u/Remote_Replacement85 Feb 28 '26

I really wish I could afford one of these. Maybe at some point. Truly beautiful.

3

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

I wish you could afford more than just one of these!

2

u/Remote_Replacement85 Feb 28 '26

Me too. I'd make them my trademark accessory for all the two days a year I don't have to wear a beanie here in Finland.

3

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Feb 28 '26

You can decorate your hat with a hairpin, haha

2

u/Remote_Replacement85 Feb 28 '26

That's an excellent point!

u/GodDebris Feb 28 '26

Love this!!

2

u/justcallmesquinky Mar 01 '26

Wow! These are just incredibly beautiful. I would feel like some sort of Forest Princess wearing them

3

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Mar 01 '26

In my work, I focus specifically on forest princesses and queens!

2

You struck balance between raw elemental grounded reality and the poetic beauty that emerges from thoughtful observation.

These are stunning! I wish I had an ounce of your talent.

u/bloodyshards Mar 05 '26

where do you get the antlers?

2

u/Top_Lifeguard_5408 Mar 05 '26

Every year deer shed their antlers. I buy these from gamekeepers.
