Another bedazzled bovine

 Back in October and two cow carcasses ago, Lucy helped me bring home

this skull. My intention at the time was to electrify it into a wall sconce,

but the cow with the bad toupee will be better suited for that,

so I decided to bedazzle this one.

 I went rock shopping on Etsy and bought a pound of Snowflake Obsidian from Utah, 

plus a couple pounds of assorted semi-precious gemstones, 

from which I sorted out all the whitish ones.

 You know you live in the middle of nowhere when gluing stones to bones

passes for entertainment during a heat wave.

You're probably thinking "who's got more rocks in her head, her or the cow?"

I started wondering that myself several days into this project.

The stones had to be placed on a flat plane so that they wouldn't slide off

while the glue dried, and it turns out a cow skull has many planes. 

So the process was: apply glue, apply stones, let dry, rotate, repeat.

I considered using a barbecue spit for the rotating part

but didn't want you to think I was weird.

 My bedazzled bovine has found a home in the sunroom.

 I wonder how many bedazzled bovines in one home is too many?

So far, I'm up to two.
