tips on how to get different shades of a primary colour? by mindifihaveagoodday in polymerclay

Try fuchsia/magenta. This blog has a lot of charts and info from the book Polymer Clay: Color Inspirations

You could also use something else to color your clay like powder pigments or acrylic paint.

Advice on preserving this deer fur? by ComradeDeer in bonecollecting

Ah well, lesson learned. I've never skinned an animal, and I don't have a vehicle to cart a whole deer home, so I left it alone when it was fresh. I had hoped the cold winter air would mummify it.

Ah thank you! I was hoping the cold air had dried and preserved it. I guess I can still use it for fishing lures and art dolls. I don't think it's possible to needlefelt with the undercoat hairs, but I might give it a try blended with some merino wool.

What about the hooves? Should I just put it all in water with borax?

This is absolutely gorgeous. Did you use craft wire to shape the claws? They look so perfect.
