Made from Celluclay which is basically fine powdered paper machee(sp?). Just add water and you get a nice dough consistency material that is easily molded. Speaking of molded alot of mold started growing on the inside of my head because of the moisture. It has taken along time for this thing to dry out. Tips given to me were to put it into an oven at 100 degrees to completely dry it out.
The shrunken head saga continues...........
After two weeks of air drying and numerous trips to the oven at around 100 degrees the Celluclay head finally is dry. It has gone through a major paint job with acrylic paint. I used a black and white (gray) mixture as a base coat, added blending medium and black with a sponge to get the splotched look, and finally blended in some tan color. The final product was sealed with a matte acrylic sealer both inside and out. The inside was not painted.

Eye holes made with a drill for jute cord:
Mouth holes made with a drill for jute cord:
Neck holes on back for jute cord:
Final stage with jute cord. I will be adding some fancy jute cord adornments to the mouth area. I have some bone beads, wooden beads, and perhaps some feathers. We shall see.
The final stage will be the hair.

Jute cord additions with fancy work and bone-like beads.
Blonde hair concept. Need to use a salt and pepper gray instead.
