Nice work! I like the aging job. Looks great!

these took me all of last summer, from july on i guess? i cheated on the skeleton guy, its one of those inexpensive hanging props, i put it on a pole, then used dryer hose from my fog machine to bloe up his skirt haha. with green flood lights it looked pretty cool at night. also put a fogger in the middle coffin with a red flood light. i left gaps between the slats of the wood so the fog<and the light came through.

This is the first year we have tried the foam technique and I'm still learning a ton each day. I live in So Ca so finding the pink or blue foam is not so easy. I'm using the white foam. It's big down fall is the beads and it is very light weight. I am able to get the foam that is coated with aluminium on both sides but that is a nightmare to remove. So with that being said here are a few of my "test" runs.

Those came out really good LastHouse!

Ditto that! Excellent!

Very nice headstones, Last House. How did you do the woman with the cloth over her head? Was it a foam head? It really came out stunning on the stone. I also like the creative base you put on the one that looks like round steps. You have done a beautiful job on these.

Yet another ditto, those are fantastic!

Another thought for lasthouse, you could probably order whatever foum you would like at the pro desk in home depot? I can't see them giving you a lot of trouble with it.

This was my second attempt at a foam tombstone and yes that is a $3 foam wig head you'd find at any beauty supply outlet. The cloth is an old pillow case I simply hot glued it around until I came up with the look I was going for.
