Something Unpleasant This Way Comes

The Witch's Head (cont.)

Well after a partial day of working of the witch,  the  head is begining to take shape.  Proportionately, it's a little large, but the frame of the body is too.  So it may work out.  I plan on doing more to it over the next three days and hopefully I can get this prop wrap up in the next week.

I am not an animal...I am a halloween prop.

This picture shows how I built out the head with the remaining Great Stuff from the cauldron, once it has stiffened it will be shaped just by cut away the excess with a sharp knife.

 

 

 

This is a picture of the head after being shaped and with one layer of paper mache started.  This is my 1st experience with paper mache, at least since elementary school.  I have to say that it was every bit a pain in the butt as latex and cotton.  Maybe it's because of the type of project that this is that forces me to be more careful not to get it in the moving parts.  But you can almost get an idea of what it's going to look like when it's done.  The wig shown in the video in the prior post was just a temp for effect, I think the actual hair is going to be long, straight gray hair and much thinner.  I'll probably use the hat after I beat it up a bit to give that worn look.  Right now I think kinda looks like Snow Miser from a "Year without a Santa Claus".( DT, You'll appreciate that)
