. The story goes that Santa had Abby in his workshop. She wasn't done and then somehow got into Santas bag. He tried at every house to find a place for Abby but each time she was so afraid of being left alone Santa gets to our house, sees the note and cookies my kiddo left out for Santa. In reading the note he remarks how such a kind young girl would be the best home for a Fraidy Cat such as Abby. Low n behold, Abby slowly creeps out of the sack, takes a look and with a reassuring nod from Santa, Abby took her place. Nestled in the branches of the tree is where we found her that morning. Shes not perfect, but we love her just the same. It's a great way to teach the kiddos that come over (my wife does childcare) that weird isnt bad. Everyone and everything is capable and worthy of love. Creepy tax! A CupieDoll Cuthulu I made  And BonaLisa I did not make

More: A horse skull I have put on display in a little weird inter-wall flythrough. Found. Kind of. A museum was literally throwing it in the trash.  A weird little dog. Found.  A cat, didn't notice how blurry the photo was until I got to work. Accidentally found. So, my wife and I bought the house she grew up in, and when doing some planting of new plants, I hit an old blanket that was apparently mostly acrylic. Pulled it out of the ground and whoops- dug up a childhood cat of hers. It's okay, though, we both thought it was pretty funny.  A hamster. Bought. The skull, not a physical hamster to harvest the skull. That's sick.

Love these and the descriptions!Droogie posted:More: It looks like it has a little skull face in the back of the skull  And that’s wild a museum was throwing it out. 30 years ago i was walking by a church with some friends and realized they were throwing out all of their candle stands. I have one still, something like this, but with a collection box E- oh hey that one does have a collection box durrr  I wish I could have kept one of the larger ones. Edit- my gf calls it “the catholic thing” and doesn’t get why I’d want it. Shes great but I don’t see how anyone wouldn’t want it quote:A cat, didn't notice how blurry the photo was until I got to work. Accidentally found.

Haha holy poo poo that’s amazing, I’m glad she wasn’t traumatized by it quote:
Maybe it’s ok if you buy a dead hamster for skull harvesting, but it’s good you didn’t have to Snowy fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Oct 18, 2023 |

I missed this before but nice work  I have the same cupie doll but with some bullet holes in it from when a friend of a friend invited us to go shooting in the woods somewhere in NJ. We had to make a quick stop to find some targets, now my friend and I both have bullet ridden cupies from the 90s

Here's some of my collection. The raccoon (middle of the smaller skulls) and the goat skull I found and cleaned myself. The smaller skull on the right is an opossum skull. I bought this one "beetle cleaned" off Etsy, so I still had to degrease and whiten it myself. The small one of the left is a fisher cat skull, and it was a gift. Plus, a dodge needle injector once used for embalming. I bought this at an antique shop.

I’ll keep digging in my photos for weird stuff I have in the meantime. The cool skulls and embalming needle a few posts up reminded me of when I was minorly obsessed with the Van Dyke’s taxidermy catalog. I was buying lots of stuff for weird art projects and home decoration.  I got this bear form with the teeth and tongue installed, my plan was to mount it on the wall. spackle the seam, and paint it the wall color so it’s like the wall is bursting out to eat me. I was busy and my dad said he wanted it so he turned it into a “hound of the Baskervilles” which looks a little insane.  I had a pile of various eyes so I used these ones, mountain lion I think, to make some cufflinks. I love them.

I make some creepy stuff, though there's a dearth of it right now. workshop is full of spiders and dust: various bones. the first year I moved here, squirrels dragged a cat skull into the yard. the next year, they dragged in a cat femur. I was hoping that after 200 years I'd have a complete cat skeleton, but they stopped:  my brother made this kiln shed guardian out of some cow skulls from our cousins' house in suburban Austin TX. squirrels have eaten some of it. the squirrels might be the real creepy thing here:

Still excavating from my old photos, I have lots of small weird collections of things that I used to save, I habit I have luckily mostly broken by now or I’d be even more swamped with crap. Here’s some creepyish newspapers I saved           And a few I found on the street

Here's a creepy sort of thing- on a wedding anniversary, must have been the first or second anniversary, we went to this little fancy hole-in-the-wall place, one where they know it's an event kind of place, most people there are on very fancy dates or anniversaries. Our waiter came around as I was gifting this to my wife, and in that too-showy awe-struck way, asked what she received when as it was opened. I had wrapped it so the box was open when unwrapped, and she very proudly showed it to this guy, who was immediately confused. "What... is it?" He asked.  My wife then said "It's a key to seal a casket!"  The waiter gave a quiet "oh" before falling silent and sort of backing away. But hey, that's love. Dip Viscous posted:Wasn't there a goon years ago that made significant income from finding/cleaning/selling skulls? Or is this the same person? Wasn't me, but that sounds like the dream. I went for a desert wander yesterday after work, and I found the following:  Large goat 1  Medium goat 2  Smaller goat 3  Most of a large dog skull.

A while back my dad and his auctioneer friend in Ireland tried to get into exporting Irish furniture to the US. Neither of them really knew what they were doing with that and it didn’t really work out, but my dad did receive a 40 foot container completely packed with old Irish stuff. One of those things was a wooden box full of old human bones. My dad was under the impression that it was an old police evidence box, but I’m not sure where he got that idea. Now I’d like to find a respectful way to dispose of these but I don’t know what that would be yet. If anyone has advice on that I’d love to hear it

Snowy posted:I’d love to hear what your cemetery buddy says. This is similar to what cemetery buddy said. It's not something they have had to deal with. Crematoriums and cemeteries do require permits to official dispose of each "set" of remains. Your local municipality may have their own set of rules n stuff. I say you just write "the bad ones" on the box and just put it in the attic before you move. It's not a good idea but could be fun in the future (for someone else)
