Very impressive. I love the creativity!

This is awesome! And I had a brain fart when I initially looked at this and thought the fountain looked like a floor lamp. I'm going to use your concept and whip this 'ole ugly lamp I have into a new one as well.

Outstanding! Wow, the TP really added a great effect, I have a few projects that are lacking that very thing, thanks!

WOW!! That is so cool! If I have the time, I'm stealing that idea!

I am definitely going to give this a go but use a flame caldron I have on top instead of a fountain. Thanks for the inspiration!! Looks amazing!!

Omg! Love!

I'm a newbie to creating my own props so I've never done paper mache before. For the skulls, did you have to use relatively small pieces of newspaper to ensure you got the detail or does it matter what the size is?

yes this looks so awesome, thanks for the many pics and info.

Questions-

lighter highlight paint- hand painted or sprayed on?If hand, did you sponge it on and wipe it some? The technique looks great for a "bone" look. Any tips here?

Job well done! I agree with Effie It really does look like something you would find in the stores! Thanks for sharing how to make it!

That's a sick looking fountain! If I had a place to put something like this, I would consider it. I just don't know where I would put it I had a humidifier, once a long time ago, it created that sort of "fog" using just regular water and some sort of pump style thingy in the middle. If you could find a cheap one of those you'd be laughing! SO COOL!!
