The new friend
I got my first scorpion today. Its a desert hairy scorpion. Its name is Sol, after the norse goddess of the sun. Sol also means "sun" in spanish so its the perfect name.
Also! My horse skull is clean enough to go on my shelf for now. I'll be doing more work on it down the road.

Richard
Meet Richard. He's a human skull replica cast off a real human skull. My partner gets the heebies from real skulls so we went for the middle ground and got a cast 🥰 I loves it!

The piggy
I got this guy the other day from a friend. I traded him for some raw skulls I hadn't cleaned yet. He's super cool. And yep thats a real tattoo. Years ago, before we had synthetic skins, deceased pigs were used by tattooists to practice their art because the pigs skin is so similar to ours. Though we have synthetic skins for them now, some places still use pig skin.

The cougar skull
Just finished this cougar for my friend. All cleaned up and ready to go. He's a handsome boy. It took a year to clean and will be coming back to me in a few months for some additional degreasing.
The photos with 3 skulls pictured are of a housecat, bobcat and cougar skull all lined up for size comparison.

Such a pretty display
Got my new cabinet set up with most of my collection! So happy to see everyone again C:
Since moving into this smaller cabinet I’ve realized that I have a ton of stuff that I really do not need. I’ll be having a huge downsizing giveaway coming up as soon as I can get everything together!
Since Instagram has become a big platform with vulture culture I’ve decided to join in on the fun! Check me out: boneventures
