When I need to get the creative juices flowing, I'll often gather together a group of friends (or in this case, my office staff) to work on a project. Adding a challenge into the mix doubles the fun.
This is my Swamp Monster. After painting the mask all green, craft eye balls were added from the back. I then purchased artificial cabbage leaves, some moss and ferns. The cabbage leaves were painted green and added to change the shape and texture of the face.
My Mummy. Made by cutting mask nose off, black paint, and soaking gauze bandages in tea for an aged look. Ping pong balls painted and glued in back for eyes. And finally, dried corn kernels for the teeth.
Then there's my Alien. Not really sure why, but I knew I wanted to do something with zippers. Some paint, a few ornamental gears for the brains and glittered eyeballs seem to do the trick.
This mask, created by one of my staff, has a definite artistic flare. A nice re-imagination of a Van Gogh canvas
Not everything has to be scary! Here's another great entry from the staff... a Tinman straight out of OZ. Silver paint, some hardware and a funnel for a jaunty cap.
A pretty scary Devil with mesmerising eyes. Looks like this staff person used some air-dry clay to modify the facial features. And those horns!
