Yesterday, I was given a cat's skull to frame. It was a prop from the horror flick 'Pets Cemetery' and has been autographed on the top of the skull by Steven King.

So, where are the pics of them both?
My wife would have mixed emotions about that skull. She loves horrors, but she also loves cats (for some ungodly reason).

I'll try a pic of the skull tomorrow, if it's not too catastrophic. I've yet to start the job.

I've done similar stuff and made a box deep enough to accommodate the bones and then put angled mirrors on the sides so that more of the thing is visible to the viewer.
