Thread: Character Tombstones

Tweet

These Character Tombstones were created using Dow Supertuff-R Polyisocynanurate Insulation Foam, recycled cardboard and homemade papier mache clay.

The results are something like my pumpkins, tree faces mixed and mashed with some Jim Henson and HR Puffnstuff. The largest tombstone stands 3 ½ feet tall while the two smaller tombstones stand about 2 ½ feet tall.

The resulting pieces were fairly easy to create and will add a fun and unique element to our Halloween cemetery.

This was a freebie project because I had all the materials on-hand, the foam was recycled panels from an old garage door. The eyes were lit with small twinkle-style Christmas tree light bulbs.

Those are really nice. You did a great job on them.

Your work is always fantastic. I especially love your design but then being able to execute so well,.. I'm very jealous. My paper mache' skills are no where near this.. I'm going to HAVE to try again some more this year.
