So, I have this idea

[Elementalj]

You guys think this is relatively safe? It says it's ceramic, so.....

 

[Ty Hamatake]

Are you going to encrust it with something!?

[emoji6][emoji85][emoji86][emoji87]. YES!

 

[cromag27]

Ceramic should be safe. I've used real human bones before safely, although I do NOT recommend it.

 

[Elementalj]

Yeah, that'd certainly add to the creepy factor. [emoji106]

 

[Blmain]

What are you going to encrust it with? Might look cool with some Zoa's coming out of its eyes

 

[Elementalj]

It'll be creative. [emoji48]

Sweet! People(like myself) will expect pictures! Those holes in the socket look perfect for a frag plug. Some torches coming out of the eyes would be pretty sweet maybe - or duncans! Maybe a Monti hat? Acro horns! GSP hair?! OMG options!

BINGO! [emoji12][emoji16]

So, a friend wants to "see" what I may have in mind. Anyone remember the post with the dead pirate in the reef tank?

 

[Waterjockey]

very cool. even just encrusted with coralline would be awesome

Ooh make sure to take photos frequently so we can watch it get covered!

 

[revhtree]

A little inspiration.....

 

[Blmain]

Wow rev cool find!

 

[Elementalj]

Blarrrrrrgh!!!!!

 

[Macdaddynick1]

I got these things, still can't decide what to put on them

So the problem is that this is bisque ceramic. That means it has not been fully fired and vitrified, meaning it is fragile and will break down over time. You want something that has been fully fired....this will be hard, and be as inert as glass and not leach silicates....

 

[Elementalj]

I've got a friend with a kiln, she may want to join in on the fun!

+1 it needs to be fired a second time to become vitrified ceramic. Most ceramic shops will fire stuff for you for a fee. Just fire it unglazed.

Like I said, I've got a friend [emoji6] and since I make her look like she's actually got hair, she'd probably do it for nothing! [emoji106][emoji16]
