My head hurts!

Here is my latest creation for the Macabre Monday

challenge at Haunted Design House.

"Alas, poor Yorick" is the theme and the challenge

is to use some skulls, or just one in this case.

I used a paper mache mask from Mike's, painted it with

white and glow in the dark acrylic paints. I cut the hole

out quite effortlessly,  with a craft knife and then painted the

entire mask with some silver and sapphire pearl paints. I dabbed

the wet paint with a wet paper towel to wipe away most of the paint,

just leaving some shadows. Painted on some cracks and now

it's time for clay.

Next up are the clay props. I used alot of glow in the dark clay

for the fingernails and the eyeball which all glow quite fiercely,

but I couldn't get it to photograph at all.

Lastly, I glued everything into place with some

killer Super Glue craft and modeling glue from the

Dollar Store.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it now, but

it is a mask and all. I'll probably find a place to display

it somewhere....

Just a quick random note here regarding the

"Face Off" finale on the Syfy channel last night.

WTF?! Conner?! Really?!

I was so mad!!!!! I think I still am mad!

My first pick to win was immediately Tate. That guy

is insanely talented and showed that throughout the show.

His finale piece was phenomenal! I loved Gage's creation also

and thought he was the other forerunner for sure.

Conner is very talented, but he seems a bit strange and

safe in his concepts. Syfy is accepting apps for the new

season right now. Wish I had a better knowledge of

prosthetics and make up effects. I'd enter in a heartbeat!

And now some music for St. Patty's Day...
