#3: 223. Recycled Skull Ring

This piece has all the great elements of many of my favorites from the original project, including a friend’s involvement in execution, creating from a readymade, up-cycling, and industrial design. There is no reason why something like this shouldn't exist on the market for sale it is brilliant in its design and execution.
I have always wondered about the history of this object. How did Noah come to aquire it? Was it personal, family, an estate sale? In order to understand a deeper meaning that may exist with the piece I want to know more about it. I am afraid however, that once given the background more questions may surface and I may end up reading more into it then really is intended. So I leave you with this simple thought. By this point in the project one could say Noah was committed to it, a marriage of sorts and every day for better or for worse we got to see his relationship with skulls and the bond that they formed during the project.
**Flashback Friday was a weekly countdown of the fan selected top 52 skulls of Skull-A-Day 1.o. Each week during year 3.0 The Skullmaster posted the original skull along with some additional commentary in order from lowest to highest rated, with the #1 skull appearing in the last week of year 3.0, all 52 can be found here.

Yeah, I never knew how personal to get on the site with the project. I liked the idea that people could read into it what they wanted, but at the same time it's nice to get some context. In this case the story is one I just didn't feel comfortable sharing publicly, but I will say though that this piece is probably one of the more meaningful & cathartic ones that I made during my year.
