Sunday Simulacra - Version 7.31

Today's simulacrum are similar with their silly bug eyed looks. The first was spotted at the top of a glass of Guinness by Matt Morales from the Bronx, NY. He was thoroughly amused/petrified at the goofy eyes staring into his soul. The second was discovered by Meadow Campbell of Carbondale, IL. Her note included this, "Soaking okra in milk before breading/frying makes it less slimy (and delicious!). I made a batch last month and was treated to a surprise in the sink when I moved the strainer." A couple of bright eyed skulls indeed(if that's actually possible). Don't forget to submit your own skull simulacra if you are lucky enough to find them. Thanks for sharing these with us, Matt and Meadow!

Sunday Simulacra - Version 5.7

Today's skulls were left over from liquids.

Anny Nachtigall in Chandler, AZ, said "I dumped the grounds from my espresso maker and looked inside and voila! A little skully appeared to make me smile."

Kenneth C Martin found this "While cooking  on April 25, 2011,  I happened to look down at a droplet of water on a glass top stove and caught this image of a skull. Quite honestly it unnerved me for the moment, so I decided to take some pictures and post them to my site on Facebook."

Michelle in Monticello,  AR said, I was pouring some old buttermilk down the drain and noticed this skull clinging to "life" on the side of the jug!!"

Keep sending those pictures in to our submissions address. Just keep in mind that since we only post simulacra once a week it might take a little longer than normal for it to be posted.

Good For Bones Skull

J.S. Reinitz is proud to show off his son Kaden's work, a skull that is good for your bones. "Kaden made a skeleton out of old milk jugs for Halloween. I tried a few different lights and backgrounds for the photo."





There's nothing quite as nice as seeing family come together in the name of arts and crafts. You're not only supporting Kaden with his artful endeavors, you're inspiring him to always stay creative. Thanks to both father and son for the great submission. If you are interested in making one for yourself then check out this tutorial link that J.S. provided.

Skull from a Cause

Joeskull Wallace sent us this skull with a message. He said: “I arranged some of the scraps to
enhance the skull factor of my remnants. This is a skull I created after a project using milk and juice cartons to create change purses. I saw one in a store and thought, ‘what a great way to recycle milk cartons’. I found a template to make them and plan to sell them to help raise money for a skatepark in my town.”


Half Pipe C says:

What a great idea. I love that not only are you up-cycling the cartons into something usable, but that they are going to be used for a good cause. Thank you for sharing this arranged work with us, and best of luck to you in your fund raising endeavors.

Another great example of upcycling found items into art. It is interesting to see the different local items from around the world that are available to create with. Thank you for submitting your work for us to share.
