Old Hag Mask Sculpture

I decided to call the sculpture done today.  I'll mold it in Ultracal tomorrow.

An Old Hag

I've been asked to do a few pieces for a production of Beauty and the Beast, so the next few posts here will be my progress on that.

First up is a mask of the old beggar woman who turns into the enchantress who turns the prince into the Beast in the beginning of the show.  It's very much a work in progress, but I'm excited to post it here because it feels like a return to the sort of characters I used to sculpt for the haunt.  

And yes, she'll make a good witch prop, too. More to come.

I've just started a Mr. Chicken Facebook page!

I hope to keep this blog as the main source of projects and news, but the Facebook page will give some folks an easier way to keep tabs on what's new.  Head on over and give it a "like" to stay in the loop!

Tried out a little ghoul makeup in the morning:

Affixed the new Porch Peeper Zombie in the archway:

And watched An American Werewolf in London with spiders on our heads:
