I don't know why but it seems that my comment din't get to you, so I try it again.
Your collection is amazing! I really enjoy it and go over each one with my eyes. Very impressive are the stags with the antlers. It's a wish to have one too. The seal is also very cool. Where did you get it?
Man, your room looks like a little museum! I guess your friens have to pay an admission if they want to come in your room, haha ^^
Very very impressive collection. I see forward when you get a job one time and then you buy the big "junk" ;D
I got the seal from another collector called Mrs Powell and I swapped it for some red deer skulls. I am going to write about it soon. Glad you like my room !
What would you like to be when you grow up?
Hi Jay. An archeologist, I think.
how many skulls have you got now?
I have a few bones around my house. Not nearly as much as you though! Recently i found a squirrel skeleton in my backyard. Your collection is amazing!
@Anonymous1 - not quite sure, maybe about 130 ?
@Anonymous2 - thanks !
That aloooooot of skulls. Nice work getting them up there.... do have room for others?
I've got about 150 now but I'm running out of room !
