More terrific submissions from around the globe...

Brook was the first to send me the nifty D.I.Y. rhinestone skull clock. (thanks to Kristy and Campy for also sending this one!).

Artist Charles Oliver makes lots of neat surrealist work featuring skulls.


















Karyn sent these incredibly cool pictures of her 6 year old daughter last Halloween. In her words, "All the girls in her Brownie Troop were princesses, but my kid would have none of that. They went to the zoo together for a Girl Scout Halloween outing and they would not associate with her. She didn’t seem to care, but after that I promptly pulled her out of Girl Scouts. She’s too good for them, I think."








Anthony Liekens sent his student Margriet Palm's amazing diagram. In his words, "It is a biochemical network that we have artificially evolved to act as an 'exclusive disjunction' gate. The figure is a representation of one of the results. It was not intended to look like a skull, but turned out like that anyway." [this submission inspired the #81 Flow Skull]









Guy spotted this cute skull on his son's block!
