Bird Skull Props

[monkeybiter]

My son takes part in a group event that has a requirement for props of various sorts, I recently made a large bird skull

which in turn lead to a request for a necklace of three small bird skulls capable of holding paper tokens which could be torn free as and when required.

To hold the paper tokens I embedded miniature wooden clothes pegs into which I had fitted a tiny dowel 'tooth'.

The 'squared' corners were to prevent the skulls flipping over in use.
Not fine carving but practical.

I really like those! May I copy the idea?
As for "Not fine carving but practical." well now and again it is good to finish something if only to show others that your time is well spent, along with the satisfaction of course.

Great stuff,

Thanks for the nice words. Time seems to be a constant pressure [roll on retirement] so practical ends up being quite different to artistic/well finished.
