Greetings and happy Friday Face OFF
Yes, another week has flown by and next week is Thanksgiving.
The year is almost over.
As you all know I am very much into corpsing skulls. Here is what I created for this week.
This is a scream skull that I corpsed to look burned. Brown dolls eyes, the tongue is made of clay. Painted with acrylics and pastels.
As Elizebeth would say get ready for photo over load. They are contained though.
|
I started with a glue base then painted it. This makes a nice crackle effect.  |
Once it is dry. Start the corpsing. Glue with water.  |
|
Add toilet paper and tamp in  |
Overlap the TP  |
|
Make it wrinkly.  |
Make it thicker in places you want.  |
|
Leave some places open.  |
All some of the skin to hang off the face.  |
|
Use large and small pieces of TP  |
The second and third layers really show great texture.  |
|
Build up the brow.  |
Work the other side but make it a bit different.  |
|
Highlight the cheek bones.  |
Add more hanging skin.  |
|
Now allow it to dry.  |
It's starting to come alive. LOL  |
|
I love the wrinkel under the eye.  |
 |
|
Add some hair.  |
I attached this one to a wood stand.  |

I am pretty proud of myself for figuring out how to put the whisps of hair in. Oh, it comes from a real hair wig. LOL....
I'm getting a lot if nice compliments and interest in my skulls. I have one special order too. Happy day!
I found this oldie of my sweet sister and me. It was cold out with about 9 feet of snow. My sister had just finished a round of chemo. She stayed with us for awhile.

lol, your post is like a horror movie. You should really work for the movie industry :)
Hi, Nicole,
How kind of you to show my autumn girl, thank you Nicole xx
Your art is absolutely fantastic! You are a master of the style of skulls. Really amazing art. Thank you for sharing the sweet photo of you and your sister. You both are the beauty.
Enjoy the upcoming weekend and take care of yourself. I read this late about your stroke, and I am very happy, you are well again, my friend.
Happy Friday, your skulls get better and better and scarier! Love the photo of you with your sis! Happy Friday, hugs, Valerie
My word, Nicole, you really are the master of the skull. Toss one in a ditch and someone will call the cops - and have nightmares ever after! Given all the hair that has been cut off in Iran during the uprising it's too bad you couldn't have obtained some of that. It would have been very symbolic now that people are being threatened with death.
...spooktacular!
I find that process so fascinating. I still need a skull to try it with. Ha ha.
That skull came out amazing. It looks real Nicole. And that's a great old photo. I hope your sister made it through the chemo and the disease she had. Have a wonderful end to your week. hugs-Erika
Thanks for showing us your skull process. Nice memories of you and your sis.
Yikes! Those are downright creepy! Well done.
That one is truly horrifying, yet still tugs at the heartstrings -- congrats!
Ohhh that's scary !
Wow-that's scary one-but oh my-this is so well done.
I like your work. Very evocative and primitive. Thank you
Fascinating skulls and so creative ~ Xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

It's a creepy skull, which, I think , is the point! I love seeing the process!
Wow! Your scream skull looks amazing.
Nice photograph of you and your sister.
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
Thanks for sharing your process. Your skull is impressive and spooky!
I’m really impressed by your different scary heads. It’s a powerful art work. The last one is especially amazing !
I am SO sorry I was unable to join you this week for FFO. If all goes well, I will join you next week, though. Also, I'm sorry to be late visiting. I've been very sick and have mostly stayed in bed keeping warm with my cats.
Your Scream looks wonderful. Edvard Munch would be proud. I adore how you took us through the process. It shows how it came to life. This is amazing, a bit quirky, rather creepy, full of energy, and fun. I LOVE it!
That corpsing skull is brilliant, Nicole, but having it around would give me nightmares! Thanks for sharing your process!
