El esqueleto de Amor

Skeleton of Love~

You might recall my Day of the Dead post showing how I painted the skull recently. I thought you might like to see what I ended up doing with the painted skull...I used one of the artist manikins and painted it with gesso and then used a charcoal pencil and paint pen to make it look more like bones. I then carved out the painted skull until it fit perfectly atop the artist manikin head and then glued it with multi surface adhesive.
