Flotsam and Jetsam

Awesome funny.

Summer & fall are over, and gardening takes up less time nowadays, which is good for crafting. My crafting output had dwindled to almost zero finished pojects, plus a half-dozen unfinished projects during the last months, but xmas time is approaching fast, which usually sees me doing xmass-y stuff. Hurray, ...or HO. HO. HO...?

Anyways, after the Jack Skellington bulbs of 2018,...

...here's this year's model. I found those Scribor models months ago.

 

I always knew how I'd do them, but never kicked myself sufficiently in the proverbial butt to actually make some. Until today.

Make the general body shape with crumbled tin foil, hotglue it on the bulb, add some wire, smear construction foam over everything EXCEPT the damn bulb itself. Trust me, you will get foam smears on the bulbs. Which is frustrating because something in the foam reacts with the surface of the bulbs, so you can't clean it away. *sigh*

...oh, and don't forget to wear rubber gloves! And put some newspaper on and under your work surface. You don't want to scrape that construction foam away from your carpet or floor. This stuff is evil.

 

     

Hotglue some beads on the body for eyes. I was toying with the thought of making at least oen 'cyclops' model, but it didn't look good on any of my four shapes. Maybe next time.

Small, elongated stones for teeth. I got mine from the playground, where they have this gravel instead of sand in the sandbox. If you don't find enough stones, sculpt some.

     

That's how far I got today. Next step is painting the Hungry Four. Not gonna lie, that's not something I look forward to, as usual...
