PAINT A SUGAR SKULL!

With Halloween just around the corner, I couldn't resist painting a sugar skull to hang on the wall of my studio.  Especially when I found these slightly smaller than life size papier-mache masks on sale at Michael's for only $1.00.

I decorated the mask with paper dinner napkins (flowers) and then used acrylic paint pens for the pen work.  Easy peasy!!!!




FYI:  I used Acrylic gel medium to glue the napkins and separated the ply before gluing.  Napkins have two or three plys and must be separated in order to adhere properly.

Have a safe and Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Hugs!

      Thanks Barbara! I wish that these were just a tad larger…then I would wear it when the Trick n treaters knock at my door.
