I got a distress call yesterday...
skulls were needed for my friends up coming library project...
could I help!
As you can see I got to work.
Smooth as a babies bottom, well not really but close enough.
For this project I used an entire loaf of bread.
Here I'm beginning my skull shape.
These wooden balls are perfect for the eye sockets!
I found my pinky nail made a great nose space.
So far so good...
just need to shape the jaw and teeth area.
I used some reference but as you can see they all look a bit different.
Recipe
white bread with crusts removed
white glue(not school glue)
my glue was thick so I added a little water to it
adjust ingredients for dryness/stickiness

ReplyDeleteLea, I should look into the holiday more. We do like reading the Halloween Tree which talks about Day of the Dead.
