Last year, in the spring of 2025, I decided to do some repairs on some of my crooked teeth. At some point, during that long process that took months to be more or less finished, I had to pose for an X-ray snapshot of the set of teeth in my mouth.

The X-ray machine operator lady gave me a CD or DVD, can't remember which one exactly was of those two, with the X-ray image, so I could play a bit with it in Photoshop.
I added a bit of color and twisted the image a bit to make it look like my skeleton is smiling for the camera.
I also added a bit of meat ...

... from this photograph I took in 2010 or 2011. That's a head of a lamb I bought in the butcher shop. I mean, I bought two separate pieces and assembled a head on the white paper. I needed it for a series of artworks depicting the extraterrestrial fauna of some distant planet. The following picture ...

Last night, while preparing this post, I decided to take this head and play a bit with its colors in Photoshop. That's how this collection of six images came to be.

In this lovely set of four photographs, you can see the fragment of a small asteroid that fell in my yard and changed my life forever.
Just kidding. This is the dental filling from one of my teeth. It resembles a fairly interesting piece of rock when seen through the macro lens.
The dental work I got done last year was of the cheapest and most basic kind, the kind of work that gets covered with the health insurance with no additional charges, so the filling didn't last long.
It fell a few months later, giving me the oportunity to do a couple of not particularly interesting photographs.

Here you can see the original, unaltered X-ray of my mouth.

Yep, that's all. The post ends here. As always on Hive, the art and photographs are my work - THE END.
As an honest man, I'll tell you that the only thing I'd salvage from your post is the ending; the rest is It's best not to look at it hahaha
😆💀😆
Ugly and scary but good and creative 👌🏻😂
Thank you. 🙂 Glad you like this weird artsy stuff.
This would be great for Trippy Thursday :)))
😀 True, that's some Trippy Thursday stuff. I remember publishing my first Trippy Thursday posts on Tuesday because Thursday and Tuesday looked like the same word to me. Does Trippy Thursday still exist here on Hive?
I don't know if Trippy Thursday still exists. I just remember your posts...haven't seen any others :)
Nice work on the color shifting! Dental X-rays are always fun to look at, I'm not a dentist but work in the medical profession. It's amazing how much teeth differ from normal bone!
Nice lamb's head, I didn't realize their eyes had such odd irises, interesting! It's always fun to play with color changes isn't it? Great job and a great post!

cool ass alien fish/squid thing!
I wish I still HAD my teeth.. one of my implants broke off and it had a total of 3 teeth on it. what does my greedy, stupid dentist tell me to do? y, go get surgery to cut off all my fr4ont upper teeth so that a 'flipper' can be made for me. That ate up all my insurance, then there were more and more follow up visits where he wanted to adjust things and even had MORE plans to make a permanent thing.
it ended up costing me more money just in visits that it would've to get a new implant, even at $3k per tooth. I just ghosted the guy.. his tuff shit and I'm sure he cares about my toothless situation..
Yes ... I heard of similar experiences here where I live as well ... you can't always trust the doc, unfortunately, especially when it comes to dental stuff ... the business part in that segment of medicine often takes too much space, leaving little priority to actual medicine ... it's like, chill out man, theeth are luxury you can live without- we need them only for the soap opera smiles not much else.
😁 true. good way to say it..
Sending you Ecency curation votes.😉
