Love the candle holders on the piano

Great work!
Like Meeps, I love the candle holders on the piano. Your Reaper is awesome (How much does he weigh?).. and the RamesesII head is very good.
I had the priviledge of seeing the real RamesesII mummy in the Cairo Museum a couple years ago and I must say you have captured the rather distinctive bone structure very well.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work on the forum.

OMGoodness!! I would so love to see anything Egyptian!! As you can tell by my nickname,I love it all!! I actually made that head to go on the piano player,kinda a butler,ghoul guy...the more I looked at the head,the more I saw RamsesII . I told my husband that it had to become RamsesII .He (The great guy he is.)..built a coffin for him,and just today I framed out the mummy body.
I LOVE finding things to use for my props and the candle holders were beside the road being thrown out. My hubby was like "What do you want those for?" I didn't know at the time,but,I started on the piano,and they fit right in. I want to get big candle pillars for them.
The Reaper is prolly 75 pounds. He got another coat of black today. I will be making a clock face for him. I want an hourglass as well,but,ppl are not understanding the Reaper and time together thing.
The witch has structural issues,so tomorrow I will be under her skirts re-stablizing her. I found a cauldren a year or so ago,and that will go with her, I put spray insulation around the edge of the cauldren so it looks like something is foaming over it!! Thankyou for all of the kind words..You all rock on here!! ~Shelley
