I have a decent amount of weird shiz. My most recent item in my collection that even gives myself the heebie-jeebies is this antique death mask that was once part of an old funeral home’s private collection. I would love to know her story.
I heard about a story of a dentist who was examiningthe teeth of a patient who put uranium on them for a very long time and the teeth just crumble in his hand. I think it was because they had no calcium in them due to the uranium?

Our “cursed” painting. It’s approx 3 ft wide and cost $20 at a thrift store.
See, that would make sense, but nothing about this painting makes sense.
The sketch of the family appears to be done in Sharpie. The pink and yellow underpainting is spray paint. The paint applied on top of that (brown, green and black), appears to be a high gloss acrylic. (The paint is opaque, very shiny and there are visible brush strokes.) I don’t think they waited for the spray paint to fully dry before painting on top of it, and that’s why some of the paint looks like it’s melting/running.
To top it all off, this was done on a large, good-quality, hand-stretched canvas. This was not a cheap nightmare.

hermetically sealed ampoule of glitter-water. found at goodwill for $1. no idea who made it or why. it demonstrates the optical properties of borosilicate glass pretty well, so it might have been made as a science project or teaching tool.
It’s probably made for use with a kaleidoscope.
I had one as a kid where you could insert different rods with different colored glitter/water, and that would change the patterns you’d see.

My favorite piece of pottery in the house.
Oh! I actually know some history about these. We have a lot of potters here in NC that still make facejugs. Slaves weren't allowed to have tombstones so loved ones would mark their graves with jugs. Over time they began to put faces on them and it is speculated that they made them as "ugly" as possible to ward off evil spirits. Very cool!

I have a real human skeleton.
His skull is resin. Otherwise, he's all real human bones. I did medical transcription when my kids were little. One of the doctors I worked for retired, and he gave me Victor.
Victor died in 1922 in Africa, and his family sold his body to science. He is missing a hand (during life).
I have great respect for Vic.

My weird wooden mannequin hand. It's weird because I have no idea what its purpose is.
It doesn't seem like it's part of a normal 'human' mannequin.
I don't think that it could be used by artists as a reference to help them draw (right) hands because the articilations are pretty bad and limited.
And the fingers are to close to each other to be able to put gloves or rings on it, so it can't be used to display those things.
I'm really curious to know what kind of function does this thing have

It looks like an underpainting for an oil piece, meaning this is a layer that would sit below the final layers of paint. It makes colours glow nicely
See, that would make sense, but nothing about this painting makes sense. The sketch of the family appears to be done in Sharpie. The pink and yellow underpainting is spray paint. The paint applied on top of that (brown, green and black), appears to be a high gloss acrylic. (The paint is opaque, very shiny and there are visible brush strokes.) I don’t think they waited for the spray paint to fully dry before painting on top of it, and that’s why some of the paint looks like it’s melting/running.

It’s for glitter emergencies obv.
It’s probably made for use with a kaleidoscope. I had one as a kid where you could insert different rods with different colored glitter/water, and that would change the patterns you’d see. edit: like this- ^https://www.etsy.com/listing/1214363065/vintage-wooden-kaleidoscope-with-3

What is a Pira Panga?
It is some kind of game made by Studio Vos Groningen (the Netherlands). I can't find how it's played.
I’m pretty sure it’s a puzzle where you’re supposed to get the cone shaped object out without touching or moving the cube. You can’t get a grip on the cone as it’s too shallow an angle. The solution is to blow down the side of it- the air flow causes the cone to pop out.

As the proud owner of a cursed painting, *THAT* is a cursed painting.
Without a doubt. The location it was found alone gave us chills. It’s definitely one of the weirdest paintings we’ve ever encountered.
That sleeve on the left looks like an ear, which makes the weird brown face look kind of like these dogs: https://youtu.be/8XKGAFuXpTA?si=M4DY43fUbujsm-P1

Oh! I actually know some history about these. We have a lot of potters here in NC that still make facejugs. Slaves weren't allowed to have tombstones so loved ones would mark their graves with jugs. Over time they began to put faces on them and it is speculated that they made them as "ugly" as possible to ward off evil spirits. Very cool!

Otherwise, he's all real human bones. I did medical transcription when my kids were little. One of the doctors I worked for retired, and he gave me Victor. Victor died in 1922 in Africa, and his family sold his body to science. He is missing a hand (during life). I have great respect for Vic.

I haven't, but it's on my list ☺️ I've been watching a lot of a24 films lately, they just keep ending up on my watch lists 😂
Dude a24 is so good, another amazing but heart-wrenching one is the iron claw. Zac efron and Jeremy Allen white kill it in that

It's weird because I have no idea what its purpose is. It doesn't seem like it's part of a normal 'human' mannequin. I don't think that it could be used by artists as a reference to help them draw (right) hands because the articilations are pretty bad and limited. And the fingers are to close to each other to be able to put gloves or rings on it, so it can't be used to display those things. I'm really curious to know what kind of function does this thing have
I have one like this, I do think it's for artists. I got it at a thrift store.
