A Tumblr artist is making a toe necklace out of someone's real toe

A Tumblr user called cummy-eyelids is just thrilled about her upcoming art project: making a necklace out of someone else's pinky toe.

Royallyoily, another Tumblr user who had that toe amputated almost ten years ago, recently commissioned cummy-eyelids to make the piece. "Not only do I absolutely trust your artistic expertise, cummy-eyelids," she wrote, "but I also feel my body part ... could not be in more capable hands."

That's a relief. Who could wear a toe necklace made by an amateur?

But what really set the internet off was the below photo, which cummy-eyelids posted to Tumblr a few weeks ago.

"...I received a very special package in the mail," she wrote. "It contained this amputated human toe."

Ever responsible, the artist even said she'd place the toe in a new jar -- because the old jar's preservation fluid expired in 2011.

According to BuzzFeed, cummy-eyelids -- whose real name is Lana -- is used to working with skulls, bones and "wet specimens," so the toe didn't gross her out at all.

For some reason, the same cannot be said for the internet.
