A series of four illustrations based on key points in Arthurian legend; the sword in the stone, the questing beast, Guinevere and Lancelot’s betrayal, and the death of Arthur. Charcoal on toned paper.

Formosus was accused of transmigrating sees in violation of canon law, of perjury, and of serving as a bishop while actually a layman. Eventually, the corpse was found guilty. Liutprand and other sources say that, after having the corpse stripped of its papal vestments, Stephen then cut off the three fingers of the right hand that it had used in life for blessings, next formally invalidating all of Formosus’ acts and ordinations (including, ironically, his ordination of Stephen [VI] VII as bishop of Anagni). The body was finally interred in a graveyard for foreigners, only to be dug up once again, tied to weights, and cast into the Tiber River. (+more)

Well this is me

they may not have properly dried or were in a place with high moisture… ive had that happen a few times but only when they have been kept in a damp space or put in a sealed container before fully drying out. When i find mold i usually just scrub off what i can with some alcohol and sponge, air dry and then give another soak in peroxide. From there lay out  towel and allow them to air dry for a few days ( best to rotate them to make sure moisture doesn’t get trapped between the bone and the towel) If they are larger bones especially make sure to rotate. They should be fine to go once they are dried through and through. Another method for killing off mold is vinegar….. i cant do the smell of vinegar too much but i have used it to kill of mold  in garages and bathrooms before, along with an after spray of peroxide. : ) Other bone folks, feel free to chime in and leave comments of your methods for mold destruction and conquer! I just use the peroxide, and alcohol but im sure there are other ways too <3
