Ah, spoons to die for! Artist Tom Sale (aka “Pinky Diablo”) takes vintage sterling silver or silver-plated spoons and fashions skulls out of the bowl using a Dremel tool and buffing wheel. Me gustan! There’s a cool story on Tom’s spoons, which sell for $45 each, over at Harsh Forms.

Readers who recall the joys of Skull Week, which we celebrated here on the Worley Gig back in October of 2008, know that we love skulls! Right now, Brooklyn’s MF Gallery is featuring a truly unique exhibit called I Need Your Skull and, as you might infer from the title, it is a collection of skull-themed art that will knock your socks off.
Last year at this time, Worley Gig Dot Com celebrated the coming of Halloween with Skull Week, during which I literally blogged about nothing but skulls for an entire week. Scary! Skulls have somewhat reached their saturation point this year – what with the popularity of sites like Skulls and Bacon, I Want Your Skull and Skull a Day – but I like to get with the spirit of the season, so I am exploring scary themes about which to blog for the remainder of the week up to and including Halloween. Appropriately, I found this picture of a wall made out of human skulls. See more cool pictures and read the skull wall’s back story at this link.
I love these “cool” little Skulls and Crossbones ice cube trays found online at the This Link. The trays sell for $6.80 each, plus shipping. I think they would make cool gift as well!
