Which Witch is Which?

 


I've been itching to do some Halloween stuff, but between being broke and not being sure if I'd relocate to New Orleans before October, I haven't really done anything yet this year.

But last night I got kind of bored, and decided to start on a witch prop. I've wanted a witch for my haunt for a few years. Witches are cool. This one is admittedly influenced by Pumpkinrot!

My mother gave me a "bag 'o' bones" for Christmas a couple years ago... I'll just let that sink in... anyhow I took the skull out of the bag, nabbed a roll of masking tape, put on a few episodes of Charlie Brooker to put myself into an appropriately misanthropic mood, and set about laying some flesh on dem bones.

I think she's turning out okay. I need to find some way to seal it, as the tape will lose its tackiness eventually, then I just need to paint her up.☠

    Nice! I saw the Pumpkinrot in it from the thumbnail in my blogroll. I'd say that's a job well done.

    That's a good night's work! What are those teeth made of? They look good and creepy emerging from that masking tape skin.

    Thanks folks. Hhm, deck sealant, I may need to look into that. I have some lacquer, but it's high gloss.

    The teeth are just part of the skull I used, a cheap plastic one like this:

    I want to get some black marbles for eyes.
