Howie encased the heart-shaped cartilage punch left-overs he did on Helen at the Laundry in Brisbane, Australia. I wonder if it’ll stay looking like this, or if it will decay or change underneath the resin? And could this be implanted as an implant? I don’t see why not, assuming the silicone is biocompatible. Now I’m thinking I have to get something punched out so I can wear it as jewelry… or implant it!

Hmmm, I’d be up for the implant exhange if it could be done right. And totally 100% would wear them as plugs. =D

I would love to have something like as a plug, but to echo everyone else’s concerns about biocompatibility, why not just fit the resin into a steel or titanium eyelet? It might work, but then again, I’m no jewellry maker.

Does anyone have any more info on what happened with this? Did the resin keep the tissue from breaking down? I ask because I have the piece of my ear from a fresh conch removal currently in my freezer and I’m interested in doing this so I’m wondering if it actually keeps it in good condition. Also should I thaw the piece out before casting it in resin or should I just do it frozen? And tips or info is greatly appreciated!
