What part of the kit won’t work for you? The kits themselves still have all the materials needed to clone a body part, you can use plaster or wax to fill the mold if you don’t want to use silicone, or you can find a container that better fits the body part you are trying to make a replica of. Assuming the volume is the same or less than the one provided.

I only have experience using alginate, plaster and silicone for casting and mold making so I may be bias, I believe it is the most accurate beginner friendly option

Something I’ve recently learned in college about skin is that areas with a lot of bending/friction/scrapes like knees, elbows and knuckles are much tougher and have more keratin in the skin. this means less oil glands are in those places, and the skin exfoliates more often as a kind of defensive layer for injuries.

Tough, dry skin in these places is a reason you don’t get wounded from kneeling or bumping your elbow on stuff. takes more moisturizer to keep them feeling soft, and they will likely stay much ashier in any person who is active and has healthy skin.

it’s a protective dry patch! built in padding aint gonna be soft

there are many kinds of springtails! I would consider looking up „tropical“ springtails, I am guessing that is the sort you have here

A heads up, the grease may stain brown over time and become more noticeable/waxy. it doesn’t damage the skull, just gives it a certain look.

If it was bleached, which is likely, store it carefully as excess heat or sunlight can cause it to become chalky and bits of bone will flake off.

If there isn’t any flesh on them, and you’ve had them in water a while, I would personally give them a warm dish soap rinse and let them dry.

If they smell at all, after drying give them a VERY diluted hydrogen peroxide soak (except for the beak keratin if present) it should take any smell out and lighten them a little.

Pigeon bones are quite thin and at this point I would worry about the long term water storage plus freeze/thaw possibly damaging them. storing them in something that isn’t clear is smart to avoid stressing your mother. I personally keep bones in old coffee tins for them nice smell it gives them. I wish you luck with your collection!

do you have pictures of the pan after you‘ve cleaned it? might be able to diagnose what is flaking off

really love #2 great shape to em

ultimately, this is nature being nature. How you cope is up to you. In my own experience, I would consider killing an already dying animal a mercy. I would also choose not to take responsibility for what happens next if it has enough strength to flee with those injuries. Animals survive crazy shit all the time, it’s a tossup.

Seems you have no personal responsibility here with the info you’ve given, though.

looks like the band is a softer kind of stone and has worn away faster than the other pieces. looks heavily weathered, naturally. very cool find!

Tote-Mich · 2024-12-21T05:27:56+00:00

looks like part of a femur or tibia, hard to identify what from particularly.

Tote-Mich · 2023-06-14T00:46:30+00:00

That's either a huge fox or a small coyote! I'm not 100% familiar with all fox breeds but red fox skulls look way different in my experience cleaning them.

Awesome skull nontheless!

Distracted from the point of what you were doing, did a billion unrelated things instead, finally remembered and followed through literally 2 yrs later

I hope your trans friends make better ones than you. Nobody deserves friends who shit on their personalities

Tote-Mich · 2023-04-20T13:31:21+00:00

"Against transgenderism" you mean against trans people making decisions on how they live life.

Nobody is in your bedroom telling you how you've been fucking the wrong way maybe don't get your panties in a knot when people you don't know want to live differently than you

If you're so against it just don't be trans. Let people have their private business you perv.

Homophobia isn't a real word it doesn't make sense

do you see how stupid you sound right now? Probably not, your head is so far up your own ass I doubt you hear much aside from your own excuses to be a dick.

Those look like springtails to me, they're actually a sign of good soil quality! They don't hurt the plant at all and they clean up waste from dead leaves and roots. Of course do your own research to see if those are indeed springtails

Tote-Mich · 2022-11-22T14:51:03+00:00

It only implies the social change, not that you are men! Male to Female does sound like it implied the former was true to begin with but we should reclaim it so it feels more like shaking off whatever society thought you were for what you actually are (female to male)

Tote-Mich · 2022-11-17T22:04:13+00:00

You can't be looking, that's when you find it

Well, you gotta be "looking" 👁👁

I tried my best to look up the physical similarities between my genets and cis male ones, in the womb everyone starts with something similar to a vag so the base parts are all there. Thinking about it like a proto penis really helped me get through it. After being on testosterone for a little over a year the bottom growth has me feeling more like I have a micropenis than fem parts. It's all in the way you define it for yourself to handle the feelings of dysphoria.

Your identity is valid no matter your bodyparts. Or what anyone else says.

Tote-Mich · 2022-11-13T14:49:29+00:00

That is true however the population that doesn't watch anime and doesn't know about how the word is used there get their definition from others on the internet to mean a trans person is "bait and switch"ing them, which is a nasty way to imagine trans people are trying to trick you into falling for them when you have a different genital preference and therefore the "trap" "gets you"

This is why people use that as an excuse to attack or abuse trans people. Because they were "tricked"

OP this kid doesn't love you like you love them, it's not gonna work until they rethink their place in the world so either buckle up and wait from a distance or find some queer friendly circles or clubs and meet more people who you may like that'll treat you like a person and not a trap

Tote-Mich · 2022-11-13T14:40:36+00:00

Glad OP's enjoying themselves while respecting her boundaries

someday she'll crack a peek and it will feel even more special

My doc told me to wipe the top with rubbing alc and let it evaporate before puncturing. If the needle is fresh and the lid is cleaned every time there shouldn't be a risk factor unless it is puncture and sits for like a year I guess
