As promised...

My Skelly pictures from the swap with Du Buh Du Designs Christine....





Airdry clay, all done in shades of black and greys and of course the red veins in the eyes, for an extra punch, I tried to give you a close up of the eyes but it was too pixelated. I applied a glossy medium to the eyes to give it dimension, The collar is a very full ruffled crepe paper. And what's a bone*head*studios creation without a tophat, it hangs from a decorative hanger which isn't in the picture, that has an added swirl where I added a black czech bead into. I made little airdry clay bones and tied them to strips net and ribbons with tiny bells and banners to drape below it, almost like a wind chime.
He was one of those ornaments that I almost couldn't part with..sigh...
