So, I decided to visit my buddy out in a little place I call Butt Fuck Alabama, about an hour from my house. We decided to go out in the woods and stomp around a little bit, and we came across someone else's dumping site for common wild pests, mainly coyotes. We looked around for a few teeth and i stumbled upon a skull fully intact except for the lower jaw. I carried the skull back home with me and soaked it in bleach over night, and purchased a can of spray polyeurethane. After about six coats the teeth and nasal slats stopped moving and then the fun started. every bone and crystal and rock in this piece is something I found myself, only the leather was given to me by my grandfather. Enough talk.

Thats a pretty intense peice of equipment you got yourself there. You should make some sweet head hunting costume to match it, and do some Trick-er-Treatin.

Well, the plan is to wear it to our local Medieval Fair, as a witch doctor or something. My friend, the same one who was with me when I found the skull, is working on bargainind with a man his mother works for to get me a bearskin, which, if it's large enough, will be promptly made into a rough kilt. I'll be getting some deerhide from what I do to make money in the winter, so that will put more into the costume. I'm trying to work on a head-dress at the moment, and thinking along the lines of a lot of feathers and such.

It looks like something you would put on a doomsayer.

Because I cannot express any sort of coherent thought or opinion on this, I will post this LOLcat picture which summarizes my feelings.

That expressed my sentiments exactly, only in a slightly less adorable way. I'm fucking precious!

That skull is crazy. One time back where I used to live some kids were messing around in the creek when some one found a bone. They searched for more right after they found the first and they found about 8 or 9 others. Turns out they were deer bones, because a month later someone found its skull and ribs.

Pretty cool skull. Personally, I don't think you should have covered it in Polyeurethane. (or however you spell that) I think it would have been cooler to just put a coat of varnish or something on it. But, you do want it to last as long as possible.

Well, the polyeurethane leaves no color or shine, it simply reinforces the bone and keeps the teeth and looser parts from falling off. This is meant to be more tribal and dirty looking, not shiny and clean. Speaking of dirty, my friend and I decided that since I am dressing up as a witch doctor, and since most of the real witch doctors weren't pasty white boys, I'm going to be covered in dirt and muck, just to give it that authentic effect.

Thanks for all the feedback, cute and fucking precious included.
