Those of you who have been following me for a while must have noticed my thing for deer. It’s a beautiful animal, with its antlers adding splendor and majesty.
In the past it was common to stuff the the deer head after it was hunted and to hang them proudly in the center of the house. I think this is a horrible thing, and I am against any act of cruelty towards animals.
Since the “real thing” is not an option on my end, I’m really happy that in the past few years deer head made of industrial materials have become a trend in home decor, a trend I’m happy to join.
You can find a large variety of deer head in different shapes and forms. The 3-D version adds a strong presence and will add character to any room.

As always, I like those designs that offer a personal interpretation that moves away from the exact shape, offering a fresh variation of the topic, with a small wink.

The deer head has become a well identified iconic shape and you can find it in 2-D versions in may places. A picture of a deer head on the wall can be as cool as its 3-D version.

This iphone cover looks like it’s been designed especially for me, as it combines 3 things I love – wood (if you haven’t read my wood design post, this is the time…), deer and birds.

My liking for deer has stuck to my spouse and you can be sure that there are quite a few deer elements in our home.

Since both of us like deer, we decided that this will be the animal to decorate our wedding invitations (I dedicated a separate post to the design of the invitation), and they played a role as decorative elements in the wedding itself.

In the past couple of years I’ve enjoyed adding deer head in my shops’ design, so most chances you’ll find them there as well if you pass by for a visit.

I usually like to find deer heads in different places and to add in my personal touch. The deer head in the photo above was purchased in a flea market and then painted, and the cardboard deer that I purchased for my home was decorated using a bunch of colorful scrapbook paper. But I don’t always manage to find exactly what I’m looking for, and that’s why I decided that I want to design my own variation of a deer head.
My Deer Head Wall Decoration is now available for sale online. Below you can see it decorating one of my shops.

I just had to design some deer jewelry, as that’s what I mostly like to do. In my Tiny series you can find a deer on a necklace and a bracelet as well, and also in the Miyajima series, inspired by a Japanese village in which many deer stroll free.
