Mr. Skull Head..


I saw a similar looking Skull doll somewhere on the Internet. This is my version of it using felt. I am still in the process of sewing and stuffing Mr. Skull Head together but this is what I have so far.

So I finally decided to post


It has taken me a long time to actually start to write something on this blog. Most likely because I have been thinking about it too much. So I decided to just go ahead and write without thinking. In the end it works out better that way. I guess I will start by saying that I love reading other peoples blogs about their own crafts. So I thought I should finally have one of my own.
I really love cute skull heads. So in celebration of Dia De Los Muertos I made a Hinterglasmalerei, which means reverse glass painting in German. I only know this because I had to memorize this word for a paintings conservation class I took during my undergrad and it stuck with me ever since. I actually used paint pens for this project but I think real paints and paint brushes might have a better result.
