Where Grim Visions Become Dark Art

I finished a new piece recently. I needed to make something. It had been a while and I had the itch to sculpt and paint. I had started this a week before Halloween and never finished it. It sat there on my sculpting stand for months staring at me. Meet Ed.
Ed is made of air dry clay, urethane foam, painted with acrylic paints and acrylic inks.

Its seems that there is always talk of rust patina on the online forums. I have done a fair amount of experimenting using different products and also just using regular paints. So far I like the Patina’s from Sculpt Nouveau the best and the owner was very helpful with any questions I had.
Last year I made a shovel for a piece I was working on.
This is the shovel after I initially started it. It is made from an aluminum pizza peel. I purchased it from a restaurant supply store.
Then I Added the transition from shovel blade to handle with epoxy clay.
Then I coated it with Iron B coating from Sculpt Nouveau
With Black, Tan and Tifanny green Patina’s
After a few hours and coated with permalac to stop the reaction

Great picture taken of Nevamoore one of my scarecrows. This was taken the night before Halloween. One of all time favorite props, and a great picture, really cool composition.

Nightmare was one of my 1st endeavors in carving foam. I carved a Styrofoam wighead and laminated it with papertowels and Sculpt or Coat. He is painted with acrylics. He sits on a small black tricycle in the graveyard or the witches area each year. He has a sound track and controller ran off of a Prop-1 and IR trigger, which triggers a LED array as a strobe light. The kids really like him.

This is the result
