Happy Skull Appreciation Day!
It took me a long time to figure out what to make for my Skull Appreciation Day exhibition piece. I felt like I needed to do something extra skull-y in my role as the creator of Skull-A-Day, so I finally decided to cover the blank papier-mâché base with a whole bunch of smaller papier-mâché skulls...
This took a couple of weeks to make since I had to do a small batch of skulls and then let it dry before rotating the base to do another batch. I then took a couple of days to paint the piece with acrylic washes.
For those of you in Richmond, VA please come out and see it in person at the Skull Appreciation Day exhibition which officially opened yesterday and runs through July 8. And of course don't forget the day of fun we have scheduled today! We'll be doing a free craft event from 12-4 and then dancing from 7-11pm all at Gallery 5. For those of you on Facebook the official invitation is HERE.

It's fantastic! Even more so in person!! Thanks for sharing the process.
I wish I could be there.
And this is why you're the skull guy, Noah. Fantastic piece, looks like it came out of a real ossuary.
