Sunday Simulacra - Version 4.27

A collection of simulacra that occurred in nature.

Terry from Massachusetts dug this and wrote: “This afternoon I drove by this incredible headstone. It appears to be just a random pattern of lichen. It had rained earlier in the day, which I think darkened the lichen, thereby enhancing the effect. What I find most amusing about it is that the eye of the skull is created by the original carving on the stone, which appears to be a small terrier.”


Believe it... or Not! Cowpiezzzz in Northwest Wisconsin told us: “I saw this guy staring up at me from the ice in my driveway. The only thing is, I’m not sure if it is a skull or if it is a portrait of Jack Palance”


Tina R in White City, Oregon sounded the horn for us: “I walked out on my porch early morning, and this is the water mark stain left from the fog.”


C-munged Freud says:

Sometimes a skull is just a skull. I always love this part of the week seeing all the skulls that we find in our everyday living. I think one could believe that the spirits are at work in Massachusetts. A skull or Jack Palance... Curly’s Gold couldn't help him now. Good thing you went out after the Fog- it looks like it was that kind that kind of fog that movies are made about. Thank you all for taking the time to submit your finds.

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.

126. Stained Glass Skull

Front Lit above and Back Lit below...


Stained Glass & Acrylic (Approx. 10" x 10"). I spent the weekend taking a stained glass making class and this is the result (and also the reason for yesterday's broken glass skull!). Thanks to my awesome teacher, Jude Schlotzhauer, for letting me go beyond the basics.

P.S. Be sure to check out Tiki Chris's 31 Days of Halloween Madness, which is currently in full-swing!
