Alas, poor Rover, I knew thee well

Dog SkullMy skull arrived day before yesterday! I am astonished by how beautiful it is.

I’ve spent the last two days building the dead dog and have process shots for you, but at the moment, you’ll have to content yourself with this one of the skull.

I will tell you that we have dubbed the dog “Flacie,” short for flaccid because she is a limp, dead dog. The build is going extremely well.

I’m just too tired to be coherent with process stuff, but it’s 2 am, so I figure that’s justified.

    it should, technically, be scary how much fun you seem to be having here and with how much glee I’m reading it..

    I don’t know if you’re the Discovery Channel watching type, but Mike Rowe did an episode of Dirty Jobs at a Skulls Unlimited.

    You can see it here!

    Frankly, from the beginning stages of cleaning a skull (can we say flesh eating beatles) to stewing it up in a nice aromatic witches cauldron, it’s quite an interesting and gag inducing process. :)

    I can’t wait to see your finished product!

    Flacie:
    Pronounced F Lassie, I presume.
    Happy Hallowe’en!
