My Eyes! My Eyes! by graemestevens

My Eyes! My Eyes!

I had posted a photo earlier today which was a result of my continued lack of inspiration and which I was also deeply unhappy with. Deeply. So, it's gone. Then I remembered that this cheerful chap was buried in my garden and has been for the last 4 months, if not slightly longer. He's still not quite ready for exhumation and display, but he no longer reeks and has only a small amount of "mank" left behind the eye sockets so it won't be long now...
DISGUSTING! Love it! :)

Is this the one originally posted on fire?
February 7th, 2015  
Oh, and great SC edit.

@juliedduncan Thanks very much :)
@bill_fe That's the one, so it nearly there - I think another month should do it. It's been extremely dry here though so not ideal "rotting weather" - and thank you
February 7th, 2015  
thank you for sharing ;p
February 7th, 2015  
@northy You're most welcome. I might do something a bit more tasteful tomorrow.
February 7th, 2015  
We have a deer skull prepared this way. It looks great when done, but kind of gross getting there! LOL!
February 7th, 2015  
Hmm, a good start to a soup. Nicely done, Graeme.
February 7th, 2015  
@homeschoolmom It's past the worst of it, not much longer now...
@bigugly Thanks very much - fish head soup I can deal with but not this...
February 7th, 2015  
You have been digging the sheeps grave.........maturing nicely I can see, just a few titbits still there yet!
February 7th, 2015  
@happypat Not much further to go and then it can have some quality time in the sun to bleach it. I also buried a dead hedgehog today ;)
February 7th, 2015  
Haven't seen this chap in a while... I feel like I am seeing an old friend. An old, smelly, disgusting friend. ;) Waiting for the final "bleached bone" effect with considerable interest!
February 7th, 2015  
@rosiekerr Thanks - he's been missing you as well ;) Another month or so and he'll be ready for the sun
February 7th, 2015

@mzzhope Thank you very much :)
February 7th, 2015  
Yuckin' cool, hA!:)
February 7th, 2015  
Glad to hear that most of the mnl is gone. I do think that setting it on fire will clean it up nicely.
February 7th, 2015  
@joemuli Thanks a yuckin' bunch ;)
@karlow75 Now there's an idea but sadly after my fire shot earlier in the week I find myself temporarily out of fuel :(
February 7th, 2015  
Cheerful, well not for him I guess.
February 7th, 2015  
He's looking better than the last time I saw him! He can only get better! :)!
February 7th, 2015  
Very cool and creepy.
February 7th, 2015  
Duck! !!!!!! Missed coz pissed the other bugger
February 7th, 2015  
You buried a hedgehog? Did he taste nice?
February 7th, 2015  
Display where ?!!! Still looks yukky. After this I think we deserve one of your gorgeous mountain.
February 7th, 2015  
Sam
So ugly! Did you touch the eye mank?
February 7th, 2015  
Cool sc work. Your model can really hold a pose.
February 7th, 2015  
Skulking again? :)
February 7th, 2015  
how'd I know this was your shot before even seeing your name!
February 7th, 2015  
Oh, that title! A morbidly intriguing shot. :)
February 7th, 2015  
Jae
I'm feelin' it.....I know it's coming next.....anticipation is killing me!
February 7th, 2015  
Yuck, a perfect shot!
February 7th, 2015  
@ceilidh Thanks very much :)
@lifepause It might be quite a wait...totally uninspired at the moment
@kareenking Thank you kindly :)
@blueberry1222 Just a lucky guess? ;)
@archielogical Snigger...always
@pools82 I was impressed by it's patience
@gigiflower I would be me if I didn't ;)
@pinkpaintpot Somewhere - I might attach it to the front door...
@newbank I did - should be "ready" in no time in this humid weather ;)
@annied LOL, I hated my other one, had to take it down
@888rachel Thanks very much :)
@harbie The only way from here is up
@dibzgreasley I guess he's not going to get any sadder
February 7th, 2015  
Jae
@graemestevens a really good beer could change that!!! Or just look at my pics :)
February 7th, 2015  
@lifepause Whisky. I need whisky.
February 7th, 2015  
what an awesome image with the selective coloring!!
February 7th, 2015  
@nicoleterheide Thanks very much - totally uninspired at the moment but I'm sure it will come back :)
February 7th, 2015  
Yum!
February 7th, 2015  
@spanner Delicious - just need some dip and and carrot sticks and we're away!
February 7th, 2015  
@graemestevens HAHAHAHAHA laughing at my comment and the fact you had to take the post down
February 7th, 2015  
@annied I couldn't leave it there. It was hideous
February 8th, 2015  
@graemestevens oh I am so disappointed I missed it - the wine was excellent though........
February 8th, 2015  
@annied Yes, so was mine. The photo was not.
February 8th, 2015  
@graemestevens hahahahahahahaha
February 8th, 2015  
Oh yuk, I thought you'd done with this one. Good shot though.
February 8th, 2015  
@golftragic Nope, still a work in progress
February 8th, 2015  
@graemestevens Glad I'm not in smelling range!
February 8th, 2015  
@golftragic This one isn't too bad...the hedgehog on the other hand is particularly vile
February 8th, 2015  
what the..
February 8th, 2015  
@brigette Snigger...he's been buried for 4 months
February 8th, 2015  
You are digging up rotting carcass stuff??? Why am I not surprised?!
February 9th, 2015  
@panthora This ones been buried in my garden for four months...there's another one around somewhere too...
February 9th, 2015  
Great use of sc I remember this fella from earlier in your project
February 9th, 2015  
@scolgs Thanks - yet to be sun bleached but almost ready
February 9th, 2015  
I was wondering how he was coming along - seems we have a hobby in common: the locals are always bringing me dead things to add to my collection. I await his official unveiling with anticipation.

@mothermalarky I really need to dog it up again and get it finished off. My daughter had friends over a couple of weeks ago and they demanded a tour of all the "burial sites" in the garden so that they could check progress and groan in disgust....strange people....
