Razor Blades and Candy!

Second part of our "trick or treaters" costumes... we had exposed intestines I made from latex garnished with fake candy (Styrofoam/acrylic) and razor blades (card stock/silver spray paint.) Never got a good pic- the intestines were long- starting at my stomach and falling right above the knees. Ended up leaving my fake guts in PA- boo.

Clowns are Scary...

Just getting around to posting some projects from this Halloween- I was inspired by some old photos for our Halloween Costumes this year. The idea was "1930s dust-bowl-trick or treaters." Thus I made these masks (p.mache, acrylic paint, twine) I tried to create masks that traditionally would not be scary but really are. The key was to make them look vintage- which was accomplished with a dry brush technique using browns and yellows. Wish I could have spent more time on them- the paint was literally drying on our way to the party.
