This is my new Caretaker Head that I made for this Halloween. We will be putting it on our manquinn for our graveyard this year

Here is a pic

Haha, I love the eyes so much. How long did it take?

Thanks HB

The sculpting took about a day or two. Believe me that's the easy part! The part that takes the longest and you have to be very careful with this making the mold! Myself and my hubby went through 3 previous caretaker heads because the wall to the mold (it seperates the head into 2 sections,then comes to form as one when the latex dries) was not thick enough causing holes in the mold! Well there goes your mold if that happens! Finally we got the wall of the mold right and here is our new caretaker. I love those eyes too! LOL! So much easier then making them yourself. Just order them and pop em in!

He's not scared or anything. Great Job!!! Just had an idea, what if you had his hat tip up every now and again. Not sure how to do that but it might be cool.

Nice job! It'll add a lot of character to the graveyard.

I went for a surprised look. But I like the idea with the hat

I wonder how that could be achieved??
