At Bone Boutique, we're deeply committed to ethical and sustainable practices in everything we do. We believe in honoring the creatures that once possessed these remarkable bones, and that respect extends to how we source our materials. Here's a glimpse into our sustainable sourcing philosophy:
Roadside Recovery: Sadly, nature and circumstance sometimes result in animal fatalities. When we encounter bones ethically collected from roadways in our area, we ensure they are cleaned and processed respectfully. This allows us to give these bones a new life as beautiful and meaningful art pieces.
Food Source Utilization: When we consume ethically sourced animal products like fish and boar, we utilize any remaining bones that can be transformed into art. This minimizes waste and ensures all parts of the animal are honored.
Invasive Species Control: The Burmese python is a major threat to the Everglades ecosystem. We proudly accept donations of ethically collected python bones from licensed hunters participating in python control programs. This helps manage the invasive python population and provides us with a unique material for our art.
Local Farm Donations: We partner with local farms that raise animals for food, fostering a spirit of respect and sustainability. When an animal passes naturally on the farm, we may receive ethically sourced bones with their permission. This allows the farm to minimize waste and ensures these remains are used to create beautiful and meaningful art. This collaboration embodies our commitment to honoring the circle of life. Every part of the animal is valued, and nothing goes to waste. Additionally, by working with local farms, we support a sustainable cycle within our community..
By prioritizing responsible sourcing methods, we ensure that the bones used in our creations come from ethical and sustainable sources. This allows us to create beautiful art while minimizing our environmental impact and respecting the cycle of life.
We believe transparency is key. If you have any questions about our sourcing practices, please don't hesitate to contact us!
