I'm planning to do several "grey" type aliens for my yard next year, inspired by a thread here from a few years ago. The first one is underway.
The basis of the head is a paper mached balloon. There's about 7 layers of paper mache strip
I formed the basic shape of the eyes and nose with Celluclay. Then I smoothed it over with Das clay, which is an air-drying clay that I found at Michaels. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of those earlier steps, but this is where I am now. The overall head and face will need much more smoothing.
The body will be a basic PVC frame with a costume over it. I want to give him creepy claw hands with long fingers, which I'm planning to make out of wire and mache. More pics as things progress. (Although I'll probably have to wait until after that OTHER holiday is over!
