Thread: snot rag hand

Tweet

My applogies if this has been posted before i could not find it.

I took some stiff wire and cut it the length of my hand pluse about 3 inches or so. duct tapes it together about where the wrist would start then i bend the wires to shape the hand in kind of curled position. To keep the fingers where i wanted them i took a piece of floral wire and bound the wires at the hand section to keep them in position.



Then i covered it with makeup facial cotton squares kind of stretched out a little. I dont' have a pic of this stage i will when i get to it on the new hand. I took a small ball of rolled up tinfoil and put it for knuckles (hindsight tells me to put the balls under the cotton on the next one not on top)


Then i took a glue/water mix and dabbed it on the cotton and started adding a single layer of tissue (snot rags) layers to the whole thing.



After i put about four or so layers of tissue on it i was satisfied. i thought about painting it but wanted it to react to the black lights since i'll have it hanging over a grave, but the black light was not reflecting so *light bulb over head* i had just read the tutorial on the cheese cloth ghost and tada i took some Rit whitener & brightner and dabbed it on the hand and tada it glows!!! nice part is i did not dab the whole thing and the parts that are not done look like they are rusty looking almost like dried blood!!! I was excited lol.

Very nice looking hand there. Thanks for sharing.
