84. Masking Tape Skull

Hand Torn Masking Tape on Cement. I was at a pirate themed birthday party for a friend's son in a park in southern Virginia today. After setting up the decorations in the picnic shelter I found myself with a roll of masking tape and some time on my hands so I left this on one of the tables.

79. Pasta Skull (Penne)

Arranged Uncooked Organic Penne Pasta and Glue. Yet another flashback to preschool art, this came from a suggestion by my friend Tere near the beginning of this project to make a macaroni skull (and heck I might still make one with macaroni noodles, who knows). I must resist the urge to spray paint this gold.

P.S. I've been Yahooed! Skull-A-Day was chosen as a Yahoo! Picks selection yesterday!

UPDATE: OK you asked for it, now with gold glitter! Eat your heart out Damien Hirst...
