In this episode for our Samhain offering, James and Anjel speak with Keri, bone artist and oddities curator about art from death. Anjel met Keri after searching for a bone artist to clean and preserve the skull of their beloved familiar who passed away in January. This episode includes discussion of pet death, fetal specimens and preserving body parts, so listener discretion is advised. This is a great episode for anyone interested in the oddities craft community and what working with dead animals entails. At the end of the episode Anjel expresses their relief at the results of the US Midterm elections before talking about Patreon.
