Default Newbies' attempt at a few props (img heavy)

Got a start on a few things. I'm almost embarressed to post photos, but what the hey, everyone has to start somewhere.... This is our first year trying to make any of our own props & decor.... I've always enjoyed various crafts but this sort of thing is completely new to me, so please be tolerant of a beginner here!

This was the first head I tried to do - had some modelling compound similar to Crayola Model Magic that I used for her face. Was working outside, which was a mistake & the clay started drying just enough that I couldn't smooth all the seams together as well as I wanted.... but I guess she'll work....



I still need to put her hair on - I just laid a swatch over her head for this photo...



This is the start of another head -- a mummy or zombie or some such thing... still waiting for the first batch of celluclay to dry before I can go further with it....



That stuff is *messy* to work with!

In the evenings, I like to crochet while we watch movies --- I made a couple of these spiderwebs to put around the house....




And lastly -- we picked these doll things up at the thrift store - it seems we ought to be able to make something out of them - has anyone ever used these for props? What do you think would work best for these?
