If you have a black cat don’t forget to rub some salt onto its head today

Does anyone have any spells or ways of honoring / preserving a gift my cat brought me? I’ve been really down and it feels like a sign of sorts since my cats recently got kicked outside. It feels really special. Ideas? I’m thinking of a vial of sorts or just cleaning it and keeping it? Maybe something just artistic? Small mouse. Let it naturally rot next to flowers I put beside it.

This skull was created with acrylic paint, then intricately crystalized until this project was complete then sealed with a matte protective coat of sealant. The crystals used were locally sourced pyrite, Smokey Quartz and citrine. This rat skull is a one of a kind art project, and another may be made in the future depending on how well this one sells.

I create crystalized, dyed and engraved skulls to commission typically, if you’re interested contact my shop.

My mother said to me, “Do not settle for a weak minded man because they will try to control you and contain you. But once they realize that they cannot control you, they will kill you.” I think this is a message for all you strong women out there.

I’m probably making a oddities discord.

Hey! So I have been looking around for a while for a new community to socialize with like minded individuals who enjoy taxidermy, vulture culture, and other oddities. Since tumblrs and twitters new guidelines regarding gore and depictions of animal remains have been changed, I’ve noticed the vulture culture, articulation, biology, witchcraft and other oddity focused communities have been hit hard. Posts being flagged, deleted, reported, the community is really shrinking down. So, to combat this, I was wondering if anyone in the community has a discord server already up specifically for these hobbies, and if not, if anyone would be interested in creating one with me. Discord is a wonderful outlet that is growing for many different gaming, academic and hobby oriented discords with thousands of people in servers at a time. This community could be a social area for us to discuss our interests, provide mentoring or help to newer members via a help channel, a legal help area where we can discuss local and international regulations, and a lot more most likely. Is anyone with me?

Wow, considering how this skull looked before I did this I’m extremely happy with how the results turned out.

What is this, why isn’t degreasing getting it out and how do I get rid of it?

[espadaclover]

You know what? It’s really like that sometimes.

As a person stuck in San DIego I miss forests and I miss rain, this was pleasant.

Tips on getting all the connective tissue off of the back of a she.ep skull’s? Lots of muscle and tendons connecting the bones. It’s been macerating for about two months and was put back in the bucket.

I was thinking pliers and a pressure washer.

i’d like you all to meet my babies

Help a sad vulture

How do you even get the smell of death after dealing with a maceration bucket? I smell like a dead c.ow x.x
