The lighter one has been degreasing for a couple of weeks. Hes got some bone cancer on his snout, i cant wait to see him done!
The darker one is just done being cleaned by my beetles. Its a juvenile fox, but a little longer than the old boy. His shape is really interesting, i cant wait to properly compare him to some other individuals.
I’ve really dropped the ball on keeping up with my Tumblr, so I figured I needed to update with my recent completed additions to my cabinet. More on the way in due time…
In addition to have skulls currently available, I am also open for custom work!
Pick your type of skull, gemstones, colorway, and other details, for a totally unique skull just for you! They make beautiful additions to your altar, oddities collection, or conversation pieces in your home.
Prices vary by skull type and other details, so please, message me to discuss, either here or on my Instagram @ spineofasnake
Please reblog to boost if you can, my reach has been terrible and I'm really struggling lately 💔
This is a closer shot of a similar picture. The many little fox faces are not in the scene at all. It's a fox face shaped hole I cut in some black paper, stuck upside down on the front of the lens. This shapes the boke - the out of focus blur of a photo. They show up particularly in bright points of light.
This next one for instance is the same scene with the same foxed lens, just focussed differently. When more in focus, hardly any foxes. (except the actual fox skull in the case)
Note a few faint upside down foxes on the top right of the gold edge of the box; foreground boke is the right way up, background boke is inverted. I put the fox on the lens upside down to make the background foxes the right way up.
To make them bigger, all you need is a larger aperture (expensive) or a larger distance from subject to background (easy), like this.
The background of the image is a black piece of paper with a lamp behind it. Each fox is just a hole I punched in the paper with a pin.
