Spooky Chic

My crafty friend and i have small tasks each week. This task was to create a head for Jacks girls.

My mind ticked over for a while. In the thought proses i decided she had to be on the same theme as Jack, but much prettier.

I do think she has turned out much as i had wanted.

A comment on my  previous post said they are perfect for.. SPOOKY CHIC. A good category for them i think.

Another comment was to invite people to give them names, Feel free to do that, it could be fun.

 

      This is how her head started. This and a tub of artist Spackle.

.
I lengthened her neck by about a half inch and attached the skull. I made this from a tightly rolled up piece of tissue paper, covered in Spackle so that it would dry hard, with 2 nails. pointed outwards.one going into the skull and one into the tors. I used the Spackle to define the shape of a skull

 

 
After much deliberation i decided the skull was OK but just not all i wanted for her.

 

I found an old tatty looking doll in one of our local charity shops,
I think she was all of 10p

Now to give her a face lift.
 

I cut the face from the tatty doll,and painted her a new face

I had trouble keeping her mask on, so i filled the mask with Spackle and pushed her skull into it.  After letting her dry out and set.

 I added a couple of extras,

a hat i made with card and ribbon,

a necklace made from chain,

an ear ring from a charm,

 to dress her up and hey presto .....

 

                            Jack and his girl can now be seen together...xx

 

After reading the challenge on Anything but a card I thought she fitted into this challenge.

I am new (ish) to blog world and am loving it. The challenges make it much more fun.xx
