More dead people...

My little princess now has two more friends.

Vintage Jacks

These were fun to make, except that my hands got covered in matte medium and now I look like one of the undead.  Peel-y greyish "skin"...eeewwwwww!

Dia de los Muertos


Here's what I've been up to lately.  Found a great idea in the latest issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors telling how to create calacas from cake toppers.  I used my daughter's plastic figurines that she got from McDonald's when she was little.  The cool thing about some of them is that they twirl around when you move them.  I cut off the heads and added skulls that I got at the local dollar store, then painted with acrylics and added (of course) glitter glue embellishments.  Such fun to make!
