Welcome to Friday Face OFF. This is where you can show your talents by creating any type of face in any medium. Then, simply link back to this blog, link to MR. Linky and leave comments. It's that easy.
If you are reading this around 9:30 AM PC time then send some good wishes because I am in having the biopsy on my thyroid. It's been an ordeal to get to this point.
In the meantime I have this wonderful skull that was found in the depths of the catacombs below the city of Paris, France. It was discovered alone in a section of the catacomb where no others have ventured. Encrusted with centuries of quarry dust and moisture, the skull beneath will never share it's secretes.
OK, so that is just my little back story for this piece that I created. LOL

Painted black and left to dry.  |
|
A mix of several different colors of acrylic paints makes the quarry color.  |
Then placed on a wooden plate and covered in the same grit and colored.  |
|
The back would be smoother as it came away from the catacomb wall.  |
I am keeping this piece for my collection.  |
I also found the energy to begin the revamping of this skull.

It's foam so I sawed the top of his head off. Covered that with clay and latex. I made and attached clay horns.  |
Someone asked how I got interested in skulls. It has been a lifetime endeavor. My dad and I would watch all of the scary movies and I fell in love with monsters, vampires, werewolves, zombies and bones. I have collected bones all of my life creating art with them. Later my mom and I sold animal bones and furs. Faces and the structure behind the skin always fascinated me. I have a very large collection of animal skulls and of course shrunken heads and human skulls. I never tire of creating with them.
Now for the featured artist.
It's Leeanna from Not Afraid of Color
