Skull Appreciation Day, June 4th 2013



We have some of the weirdest conversations at our house. Recently I asked my roomie "which way do my horns look better?"; how odd this must sound to an outsider.




This is the quote that kept popping into my head while working on this project:

"Unbelievable.'Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead.'"

Any ideas which tv character said this?


P.S. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

    1. paper mache mask ($1.50 from Michaels after Halloween)
      it was flat so i pulled it into shape using strong gauge wire in the back

      paint, paint and more paint

      horns are polymer clay around an aluminum foil shape

      Xander - nope, it was Giles as his car was surrounded by the zombies

  14. Fantabulous mask, Karen! I love the colors and the horns! Have you raised any dead yet? I've raised bits of Hell, but I've never succeeded with the dead. Let me know if you have any luck ;) Thanks for hopping and Happy Skull Appreciation Day!
