I found a little dead moth near my window and wanted to preserve it

Some of the skull reconstructions i did a few months back :> Process pics in the bottom row. Both skulls found.

I had a bone box that was basically collecting skulls and parts too beaten up for my liking for YEARS (don’t take me wrong, i adore worn out and damaged skulls but sometimes its just too much to be aesthetically pleasing) and i finally fixed some of them up.

Both kitty and nutria were in extremely poor shapes, i even considered tossing the cat because… look at it, it was just loose parts (1st image, bottom row) but im really glad i didnt in the end. The diprosopus mod might not be the bees knees BUT for my first time reconstructing a skull i think its alright!

The nutria (which i named Berberis) i just love with my whole heart, the pictures might not convey it as good as i’d like to but you cant tell its a reconstruction until closer scrutiny. Really happy with them all in all.

sculpting skulls is a BI*CH, especially when you want a somewhat convincing mod… its just that the clay tilts and falls under its own weight, and you cant really stick the clay on the skull because then HOW are you supposed to bake the clay without damaging the bone? I managed the fitting by wetting the bone (poly clay wont stick to wet surfaces ;) and then just very delicately removing the shaped clay bits, hardening them, checking if its still fits the bone, filing, building on the shapes and elements on the “skeleton” (kitty process shows it off well, 2nd pic) and then filing more. Its a trip and a half, took a lot of time but im super satisfied knowing i can do it.

Another skull i restored last summer :)

I was not the one who found it actually, my dog Saskia did! We were taking a walk in a field/forest area and she just… came back with a smelly corpse head.

Pics of Saskia with her treasure & the skull before restoration under read more!

The snout and a part of the horn were missing, these were the only elements i had to make from polymer clay. Other than that, there was a lot of cracking i had to fill in from the inside of the skull so it wouldnt collapse one day :c i filled the more prominent cracks with gold foil, and also wrapped the horn tips with it. I still have the keratin horns, not sure what to do with them atm so they’re waiting in the bone box.

It was a really fun find, especially when Sassy just obediently dropped the skull and looked super guilty only to get praise and scritches <3 what a good girl
