Human Skull (beads)

As the ashes settle on the fallen city, Mankind is victorious over the “Rise of the Machines”…. The Terminators are no more. Humans have paid a terrible cost as the radioactive and scorched ground is littered with their skulls.

These are some skull beads from work, the ceramic ones are about .5" and the metal skull charm (with movable jaw) is .75".

Very nice, Doug. Reminds me of a miniature representation of pirate treasure. I have always liked that irridescent multicolored rock. What is that called again?

Looks like a pretty happy bunch, seems they are all smiling. Have you considered any other line of work Doug?

Ya know whats funny, while I was doing these pictures, pirates never entered my mind. All I kept thinking about was that scene in Terminator 1 or 2 where the machine runs over the human skull in the rubble...all futuristic, no swashbuckling at all
