Whitetail Doe

White Doe Beaded Skull Art
White Doe Beaded Skull Art

This enchanting whitetail doe beaded skull is both delicate and commanding. Her elaborate design continually draws the eye into ever-unfolding details.

She begins with a group of clear round glass and silver seed bead trim atop a shimmering metallic-silver undercoat. Shades of white teardrop, oval and round faux pearls fan outward toward crystal Rhinestones, black opaque faceted and silver-lined seed beads. This intricate design is completed with bright white seeds beads and clear faux Crystal discs.

Is she calling to mind winter’s ice, a graceful flower or a diamond in the rough? Perhaps a snowflake, delicate and different from all others or something as intangible as a sweet memory or dream?

This whitetail doe beaded skull remains an unnamed, treasured piece in Leesa’s private collection. She does not offer doe skulls, but if you have one of your own, you can commission Leesa to create your own treasured one-of-a-kind art piece.

Steenbok, African Antelope Beaded Skull

This Steenbok, an African antelope beaded skull shield mount, is an example of the diversity in beading as an alternative to traditional taxidermy. Despite its small size this is a full-grown, mature male. The Steenbok is such a small African antelope that full- grown adults are often thought to be babies by visitors. They may be petite but males are highly territorial, protecting their mating rights aggressively.

This impressive buck, mounted on a shield, sports an excellent set of horns with bases surrounded by gold twisted cording. The species spends much time grooming so the Teardrop Peacock Pennant, central to his design suits his dapper nature perfectly.

The remainder of the piece is formed from black, silver-lined green and gold seed beads. They allude to both his elegant yet assertive nature and the intrigue of the Dark Continent.

This regal Steenbok African antelope beaded skull is not for sale. Leesa beaded this piece for her husband and it is proudly on display in their home as part of their private collection.

If you have your own skull, European, or shield mount, whatever the species, Leesa can craft it into a one-of-a-kind artwork centerpiece for you.
