Making Monsters

This is my first try at sculpting with clay.  The pics suck, but I'll take better when its painted.

Retired

I always said that I would keep doing the scarecrow contest until I lost, in the hopes that the competition would step it up and I would be beaten by a better entry.  Well... the not winning part came to pass.  I've thought about continuing with it but for several reasons, I am done.  Partly because of the way things turned out but mostly because of the comment I get several times every year, "I bet your house looks amazing!"  The sad truth is, I spent so much time working on my scarecrow that my own home was neglected.  Literally almost nothing, so this year I am going to spend that time on my own projects.

Gingerbread Zombies

Been making Christmas ornaments.

Halloween is never over.

Usually after I finish my scarecrow I'm so over it that I stop building until the next year. Something changed this time.  I don't want to stop. The following are both 100% paper mache.  I've got several ideas in the works and can't wait to get started.

My Zombie Hunter and his gear

New corpsing technique

This weekend I decided to try using paper clay as an alternative to latex. Here is the result

Coming home

I'm sure that my actions will be viewed as that of a sore loser, but it is simply not the case. I am bringing my scarecrow home early because finances are tight and we cannot afford an extra trip to Knoxville, and I worked way too hard on this one to leave it.
