Haunted Design House

Thanks so much to everyone for their wonderful birthday wishes!  And even though I commented on the Minions blogs, I want to thank them here, too... you guys are awesome!  Not just because of the fantabulousness that has been retrieved from my mailbox as of late (which IS pretty effing awesome by the way), but for all the inspiration you guys give me and to all of our readers here at HDH!

Here is my offering for Macabre Monday's "Alas, poor Yorick" challenge of using skulls. This is really only one skull, but I had to get the idea out of my head and into a three dimensional project. So, I took one of those cheapy paper mache masks from Mike's and painted it white and then painted glow in the dark paint over that. Then for the moment of  no return, I had to cut the hole in the skull. Since it's paper it cut like buttah, with a little sawing motion. I added some pearled paints in silver and blue to add some shadow to the face. I then painted the cracks  for a little more interest. I'm thinking I may go back and add some detail to the teeth so they show up a bit.  I made three evil fingers and one blinded eyeball out of polymer clay that glows in the dark. ...
