This skull was an experiment in creating a prop by applying strip mache over an existing form. The skull also provided a chance to play around with different painting techniques by going beyond my typical dry brushing technique. The result is a fairly realistic skull that looks as if it has been removed from an ancient crypt. This is a great project for someone looking to try papier mache because it basically bypasses the artistic process and concentrates on the technical aspects of papier mache.

At least in the photograph, that has a remarkably bone-like texture. I really like it.
What kind of paint techniques/colors did you use for that finish, if I may ask?

The painting is a combination of Old English Scratch Remover and diluted acrylic paints
Really awesome! I enjoyed the step by step.

Thanks for sharing. This is the year I want to try papier mache this year. I think I will give this a try this weekend.
Thanks so much!
