For so long I have had a lack of ideas on what to make in the nature portion of things I create.

Among other things, I collect the skulls of animals and am often dissappointed at how hard it can be to get a good quality head bone for the right price, especially with the larger animals. Still, sometimes I end up buying these because the damage to the skull looks minimal when they are shown in a picture on the internet.

I got a sheep skull in a couple weeks ago with missing nasal bones and decided that if I painted it, it could add some charm the damage took away. I painted a couple skulls before but it was with this skull that my idea came. I can paint the skull and then adorn, decorate, bejewel etc. with some of the stuff I have. I think some of the Mesoamericans also did this to the skulls of their dead.

Now, I am actually looking for damaged skulls, as long as they are not too expensive.

The sheep skull is already on the way to becoming complete, so look out for it sometime in the near future.
