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.
Meet Zoraida, she's just flown in on Air Broom. She wanted to be here in plenty of time for the Art Muse Contest since she's one of the MCs!
 |  A face only a mother could love! |
 Close up of face I created using air dry paper clay. |  |
 | I used gray spray webbing first on the artist manikin giving her pock riddled skin. I then colored her with Emerald Isle green & Lime Jello Color Mists and sealed the entire doll with PYM II. |
Let me introduce you to Fleurita, The Flower Nymph. She prides herself on being quite the fashionista! I created Fleurita in honor of OTM's Art Muse Contest (click HERE to read more about the contest). I colored the manikin first with Color Mists then dried it with the heat gun. Little by little I glued flowers and torn off petals on to her. Once they were all adhered and dried I misted the flower petals with Color Mists as well and then while still WET I added the glitter just by sprinkling it over the wet petals. For her hat I used a wood finial that I was able to screw into her head. After I painted her face I sealed her with CI Super Seal (aka PYMII)
