Sharonr3106, Oh please, please, please, please, please, please do a detailed tutorial of how you did the hand in the second picture. That looks amazing. It would be great if you could do a step by step (video would be awesome) and even tell us exactly what colors you use. I know, you're thinking I'm not asking for much : ) That second hand pictured is probably one of the best and most realistic I've ever seen. Did I say please?

I found these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-Pairs-Viv...f&pid=100005&rk=2&rkt=6&sd=151618857446&rt=nc

At $35 a pair it could add up, but they're pretty realistic looking, even the bottom look good, so you could make a mold from them, and cast as many as you like out of foam or silicone. With a little texture and painting, they could be awesome.

You are awesome, Sharon, with a capital AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain your technique, and for listing your color choices. I thought the same thing about this being an excellent look for a head. In fact I'd like to do an entire corps, but making it look a bit older, as my theme is centered around my cemetery, so I don't really do any bloody gore stuff. I like the haunted thing more than the blood and guts thing. One thing that really caught my attention with your hand picture was with that with some minor adjustments, it could go in either direction, old decomposing body, or fresh kill. I'm an old decomposing body kind of guy.

On a side note, you kept mentioning the pound store, and I kept thinking what the heck is a pound store. I didn't realize that you were across the pond until just now. Pound Store = Dollar Store. A Royal with Cheese! Nice!

Thanks again for doing this for us (me). Very much appreciated.
