I have the modeling clay to add and that will help with the nose and the chin. I plan on building them up but needed something for the clay to grab onto for the nose. Hubby came up with this idea. I have two coats of paper mache on a foam wig stand. I plan on adding one more layer then using the modeling clay for the rest. I have a witches hat to start with but Im not sure if I am going to use that or some chicken wire and paper mache the whole head and hat into one "head".
What do you think?
If I combine the head and hat I wont have to worry about it coming apart but it might be heavy for the body. The body is going to be made from pvc piping and wood to stabilize it with a black witches dress.
I also have been thinking of not adding a mouth at all. Not sure...I thought it might make it creepier. I try for creepy, scary and dreadful in my decorations.
The tombstones have one coat of grey on them and I need to add more then the detail work to make them look old. I dont like how on the bases you can see the seams/compound lines. I didnt sand enough. Hubby says it gives them character...I say it looks sloppy.
Let me know what you think of them and any improvments I can make. You all make such wonderful stuff that I am embarrased to show what I have done. It is no where near as good as what is posted here!
