Then plate it with something like gold or silver and add all
sorts of jewels.
Then you'd have a beautiful version of your skull with carving
and jewels. Paperweight? Reminder of the fleeting nature of
life? Bookend?
Damien Hirst's platinum skull

Boy I think people would buy this.

Do all the artwork and carving in a 3D program and print it. All very easy to do. [doctorremulac3, Apr 19 2023]

I know so many weirdos and freaks that would love this sort of stuff. TO THE ART FAIR! |

But hundred million dollar diamondy skulls too. |

I think I want to add just having this painted to look like an actual skull. Having a real looking skull on your desk that's actually what you'll look like in 100 years might be a kind of motivational thing. |
|

For a long time now I've had this ambition to turn my skull into a paperweight. Something to pass on as an heirloom. I like the idea of it resting its upper teeth on a desk in a study somewhere, keeping one of my descendants company.
I haven't done anything in particular to achieve this objective, yet. Although this has given me a bit more concern about preserving my upper teeth. |
|
| |
But it does have to be my actual skull; a 3D printed replica just wouldn't cut it. |
|
| |
This idea does make me wonder though whether maybe it would be smart to try to impregnate the bone with metal somehow, and/or chrome-plate it. Maybe bone can soak up bronze like a stainless steel 3D print? I dunno. |

Eat more late-'90s Buicks, [Loris]. |

//impregnate the bone with metal//
I saw that in a movie, so it must be possible... |
|
| |
It is possible to have your skull replaced with a new version and survive. |
|
| |
Probably not the whole thing, but I've seen pretty big parts replaced. The metal plate in the head's always been a classic. |
|
| |
I was kind of intending to put off the repurposing until after I didn't need it for the original purpose any more. |

You might have heard the blessing: "May all your dreams come true - but one."
Well, I figured you might as well have a dream you could postpone and achieve post mortem. |
