I found and rescued a horribly bedazzled, dirty goat skull with false eyelashes at a flea market in Seattle. Every tooth had a gem on it. The old couple that was selling him didn’t know what kind of animal he was, and sadly didn’t know anything about his history or the bedazzler. They were just as amused/confused as I was.

I think what I find the weirdest is that the skull is dirty, and was dirty BEFORE the bedazzling. It was clearly just picked up from a field (there are bits of hair and dried stuff that may be skin) and not washed.

Luckily for this guy, one of my hobbies is cleaning bones and making natural history displays, so I’m removing all of the fake gems, scrubbing him up, and will be making a much more dignified piece of art from him. Surprisingly enough, the skull is actually in fairly good shape.

If you want to see pics as I clean him up and make a display, I’ll be posting them over on my Instagram crown_of_bone
