The Crystal Skull

I’ve been getting some requests for better pics of the crystal skull, tripod enabled.

My pleasure.

Here we have it catching the light from the window.

From another angle.

From the back, you can see the tiny seem I still haven’t got around to trimming off.

Then, people have asked for some lighting tests on it. Well, here is a tiny battery operated color changing LED tea light. Let’s see how it pictures when I shut myself in the laundry room and stick the skull in front of that.

It reflects the red really well.

But I think I like the blueish color better.

Then, this orange/yellow is pretty cool too.

Of course, most likely I’ll be using firelight. And, it catches light from quite a distance. But, angle seems to be the important variable. Here from well away and below the skull.

Not an optimal angle, but still catching the light just fine.

Very shortly, I will be posting a ‘how to make your own crystal skull’. I’ll warn you up front, this is not the easiest, or cheapest of projects. And it carries some dangers along with it. Poisonous fumes, chemical burns, and more standard burns. So, common sense and proper plans and all that.
