An example being that I decided I wanted a couple of pumpkin heads for Halloween, didn't want to buy as there is such a small time window to use the heads, so made my own converting a couple of Halloween props. Spoiler: Pics the fangs popped off on this one so I painted flames instead And now deciding a good project for this winter would be to finally get around to making a bull head so I can have a minotaur at last What project(s) have you done, doing or planning to do which you thought "might as well do it myself"?
I had a couple of free heads I received as part of a Luts promotion. I had no plans to put them on bodies and I don’t do floating heads, but I didn’t want to waste them. So I came up with the idea to somehow display them as hat models for my wonderful collection of hats by a very talented hat-maker on Etsy. I looked at resin sculpted bodices of course, but they were too fancy for what I wanted and too expensive. So I just put together a wooden dowel atop a circle of wood, painted it black, and voila!
@PoeticSoul what a wonderful idea I managed to buy a couple cheap bust parts which I am intending to make into standing busts. Never thought if making a head itself as the prop. they look great!
My skeleton girl Yuri. She was a Halloween prop skeleton that I worked on her face and added a wig an clothes to. She can't stand on her own, but she is fully jointed. I might do more with her face later. She is in the bottom left corner with some of my YOSD's. (This picture was from a Halloween story.) 20 by Rabbid Bunnies, on Flickr
