Tufa Jack-o-lantern for Halloween

14 years ago

Just made my second tufa "scary man" for Halloween. Used a plastic scalloped shape bowl (made two) and mudded it together for a pumpkin effect. Wire brushed it and then mudded on nose, mouth, eyebrows and etc. Stained it with various wood stains and now he's ready for Halloween.

Haha, I was planning on doing this same thing last night, hence why I am on this side of the forum now. Though I would have gone with a much more SCARY look, but I guess that's me.

I was also debating on putting both inside & outside some sort of creepy lighting effect.
