Thread: Skeletal Fountain

Tweet

Very nice! What I like is how you made those horrible Blucky skulls look halfway decent!! I would probably make this into a light tower to frame a doorway instead of a fountain. Heh, I have an old lampbase that I could use...

This is a fantastic project. It looks great. Thanks for posting the tutorial. I really want to make a couple of these, maybe using the flame cauldrons as someone posted earler. I think I still have a bunch of bones and skulls from last year just waiting to be turned into something as wicked as this!

It's too bad the library computer I'm on right now doesn't support thumbdrives. I would be downloading this right now. I wonder, would you be willing to email a pdf version to me so I can print it out?

Can anyone suggest what type of paint would work best for something like this?

We're borrowing this idea and revamping it into a large floor candle sconce. We're using an old floor lamp as our base changed the fixture to make a fake candle using a coffee can, new fixture and a large flicker bulb.

We're in the midst of paper macheing but will post pictures when we get finished.

i am assumeing the paint you used was some sort of exterior grade paint to waterproof it?" or did i miss something in the instructions?

awsome job ....great idea...........love the pics....

Simply AMAZING.

Can't wait to see your version!

I actually put the base and skulls of this together last night and will begin the paper mache process when I get home from work today. I got a giant plastic pot from Walmart for my top because I am going to use this as my new candy dish by my front door for TOT'ers. Thanks for this idea it is versatile and pretty simple with a great looking result.
