The props turned out okay for a one man, 4 day making frenzy (including all the material shopping). Now back to my own decorating getting ready for tomorrow... after lots of foam dust vacuuming that is.
1 Day 'til Halloween: Of Impaled Skulls and Evil Tikis
Finished the skull and tiki project yesterday afternoon. The best part, the client sent a nice big cube truck to pick it all up in. It's the simple pleasures in life.

Wow... they look great! Those 'skulls on a stick' should help keep the door to door salesmen away!
ReplyDeleteThose look great, Dave!
ReplyDeleteonce again
ReplyDeleteabsolutely wonderful dear talented nephew!
Where did you get your skulls? Are they foam? I had two skulls (plastic, from Target) on metal stakes flanking my door, but I think yours look better on the bamboo and in bulk -- cannibal rather than grim reaper. If only I could light up the eyes with red bulbs it would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteZandMe,
ReplyDeleteMost of the skulls came from a party store. They were hollow plastic.
and I found super cheap being discounted needing to make room for Xmas stuff I guess.
A single bulb christmas village minature light with a red bulb would work for skull eyes or to avoid cords... some battery operated candles have lightbulbs that can be taken out and easily replaced with a red Christmas light. Just hollow out the skull and put inside.
Any tips on building a 5' volcano paper mâché style for outdoor Halloween use to complete this theme?
ReplyDeleteLove your Skulls on the bamboos. How did you get the bamboo poles to stand up?
