Looking over the web with my son for some images of halloween props and inspiration. I went to Dave Lowe's site and I found his bloody dripping head and we decided to make our own.
I will include his perfect step by step instructions also.
You start with a milk jug as the " head " as instructed where I deviated from his I sculpted on the jug a simple brow a hint of a mouth and nose and cheek bones with some clay I had. then when I wraped the burlap i folded it and glued it and shadowed the face in spots to accentuate the face structure.
Here is the real deal...

Very nicely done. I'd seen that tutorial by Dave Lowe before, but I really like how you've tweaked the design here.

Definitely look at the rest of Dave's site. He's got some awesome and easy tutorials for all kinds of props (and he is just funny and entertaining to read no matter what!).
