The Great Cover Up

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.

Clay Work

More sifting through bins of photographs and I came across these photos of some early clay work done in the mid 90’s.

Silicone molds were made from a few of the sculpts but most of were done for practice. The clay used was Klean Klay suitable for use with RTV Silicone Rubber Molding.

Klean Klay is available from Art Chemical Products, Inc.
