I’ve had this skull for years, since high school. One day a boy said, “Hey I’ve got this skull
I don’t want anymore, you want it?”, because I guess I’m the kind of girl one
naturally thinks of when they have surplus skulls laying around. Which I must be, because where some girls
might have been put off, I was delighted. I displayed it for a while as is, but
there was already some damage and missing teeth, so it has spent most of its
time safely in storage. Once I started
making potion bottles, displaying it in a jar became a no-brainer.
The Montauk monster was a hoax, or maybe it wasn’t, but I thought the name fit the skull nicely. I don’t know who Harrie Skarie is, but I’m sure that’s not his real name and I can’t wait to see what other things he has in store for me.
The bottle was a craft store purchase. The label is plain, I imagine Mr Skarie is a
pretty simple guy. Since I have an ink
jet and can’t age my labels with a tea or coffee wash, I used an antiqued
background. The cork was painted black
and sponged with metallic green, because I like sparkly. I added a little raffia around the top and
some moss inside to cushion the skull.
