Hunting Lodges that Inspire
Hunting Lodges that Inspire
Lodges that inspire more than the Hunt
Be it Fin, Feather or Fur – I think the decor of a hunting lodge should be as inspiring as the hunt!
We are over at the Women’s Outdoor News with a new post:

New Additions & Updates: New Panel for Elk & New angling/shooting Lodges
It’s been awhile since I have sent a news update-
Plenty going on and a couple of new blog posts- and best of all- what you have been asking for-
A new panel for larger game like elk….so I will catch you up!
February and March found us in very drastic temperature changes.
Early February found us in the Yucatan catching our first Tarpon and Bonefish on a fly at the
wonderful Casa Blanca Lodge.
See our related blog post of this fantastic trip

Then March found us tromping after quail in unusual 26 degree snow & ice terrain at another wonderful lodge at
Upland Bird Country in Corsicanna, Tx
I finally found a shooting sweater that was good looking, warm and suited for ladies
so I did a guest gear review for Ultimate Upland Lodge magazine
And then….
My new design- a black forest style panel for elk and stag has arrived!
We introduced the new design at the Greater Houston Gun Club in a fundraising shoot benefitting
the
Museum of Fine Arts, Houston
Turns out—it makes a pretty fabulous mirror too! Shown here in the Blackberry finish.
I think I need to paint one of my dog portraits on a panel too!
Can’t you see one of your canine companions on a panel?
We are in the process of updating our website so we can better showcase all our new
sporting art & accessories like:
Our collection of Texas made shooting pens- here is the 30 Cal Bolt Action writing pen.
The action opens and closes the pen!

Traditional Antlers vs Artistic Antlers
I am a big fan of traditional antler mounts—I own them. I am a big fan of artistic endeavors–I am an artist. I am a big fan of vintage anything—after all, I am a little vintage myself! Every now and then vintage gets a little too grungie-even for me and needs a little help……..But when is artistic taken too far? Or not far enough?
A friend sent me the above photo of artistic antlers from her trip to New York over Thanksgiving as well as the one below……. and thanks to Suzie at Urban Country Style http://urbancountrystyle.com she identified the beautiful deer damask paper from Barneby Gates http://www.barnebygates.com
I like to work with new and vintage antlers and create a custom look – I have worked with fabric on my Black Forest style mounts for clients too- but just a little more traditional in my approach.
I have found that many hunters and designers are looking for an elegant way to display their trophies – I have worked with tartan……
and linen…………
and monograms…………
and nail heads…………
Is there room for creativity in the traditional antler mounting world….what do you think?
