Revamping of a Skull
5 Materials

Easy
Years ago I bought this cow skull from a neighbor who was moving. It's been hanging on my fence in my rural garden area in the backyard for years.
I had just decided I was tired of looking at it and was ready to discard it.
Then I got an idea...yes, very dangerous!
I decided to paint the skull white, it had turned grayish from the elements.She looked really good after the paint job. Then I decided to dress her up.
I wrapped the base of the horns with jute gluing them with hot glue to stay in place. Out came pearls, glass beads, vintage jewelry buttons and whatever else I could find in my "Treasure Pile" to bring the picture in my head to life.
I started embellishing. I didn't really have a plan in mind, just hot glued what I thought looked good as I went. I think it made it more fun that way!
I decided I didn't want to cover the entire face,so I left about a quarter of it plain.
This is the way she ended up.Yeah, kinda quirky, but cool.I like it, it's something different for sure!Total cost: $0 To see more photos and info check out:http://dragonflytreasure.blogspot.com/2017/08/revamping-of-skull.html
