Pepper Skull

Parade float artist, and past contributor, Marcus Pollitz in Pomona, California created this skull using natural materials.  He wrote: " This is 1 of 12 skulls made for Dia de Los Muertos at the Autry National Center.  The display '12 Tribes of Seed' are all sculpted and decorated in natural materials. This pepper skull is made up of several different chiles, peppercorns, pepper seeds, and crush sweet rice."

 Spicy C says:

It is truly amazing how the natural world provides us with such wonderful items that we can create with. I really like the look of the fire that seems to be erupting from the top it captures the look that one may expect to experience if one were to mistakenly eat a spoonful of habenero relish not realizing that a spoonful was way too much.  Thank you for sharing once again some of your interesting skull related work with us.

Sunday Simulacra - Version 4.49

This week's round of simulacrum give us something to chew on...literally. Food has always been a favorite medium for skull makers and the skull hunters are ready to bring their share to the table.

Brian Burkhardt writes, "This screaming green skull showed up in my salad from Zoës Kitchen here in Brentwood, TN the other day."



Tony Ridder was at dinner with his kids when they pointed this delectable fellow. I totally agree when he told us, "It's Kind of scary when it is Sushi..."



Fred Hochart recently enjoyed this nice piece of skullified octopus in France.



Thanks again to all of you for helping us serve up another delicious round of secret skulls amongst us. Now let's eat!

87. Bell Pepper Skull

Carved Organic Bell Pepper (from my CSA: Sprout). I didn't realize it when I was making this, but I guess I subconsciously made this in response to Terry's recent pepper themed Bent Objects post.
