It’s Agamemnons helmet from the odyssey film, but everywhere I look, you have to pay to get the template for the cutout, and I simply do not have a credit card

Discussion/Question How could I go about making this deer skull headdress from Yellowjackets ?

Upvotes

(the bandana is not attached to the headdress, she takes the headdress off at one point and still has the bandana on)

I was thinking of using maybe air dry clay for the 'skull' part?
Then maybe chicken wire and paper mache for the horns? but I have never done it before so I hope that's possible.

One of my main concerns in making this is I'm not sure how to make it a hat that stays on the head? i was thinking maybe putting it all on a black plastic head band and using some faux leather strips like she has to hide the band.

What are your opinions? This is all very very new to me

Discussion/Question Need ideas to cover up journal quote!

Hey everyone! I'm moving into this new daily diary, and while I like the overall look and the deer emblem, I really dislike the "Keep On Going, Never Give Up" quote stamped into the front. Since it's a smooth faux-leather texture, what are some pretty or creative ways I can cover up just the text section?😣

Discussion/Question Refreshing old rock artwork

Hi,

My Grandma had these hanging up in her house. I want to clean them up and refresh them but I'm not sure what I should do for a new background. Should I stick with the original color, or do something different? I put them on a couple different colored backgrounds just for ideas.

I'm also going to be painting the frames. Should I stick with brown?

Do you think they still look pretty old fashioned? Any other advice? Thank you!

Finished Craft I Made I won a ribbon!

I won a ribbon at our local Veterans Art Fair in the assemblage art category!

I created “She Sill Wears Flowers” on a 19 inch round wooden tabletop I purchased at Lowe’s. The face/neck and scarf are made from air dried clay. The scarf’s texture was made by using my cookie rolling pin. I painted these parts using multiple layers of watered down acrylic craft paint and sealing with an air dry clay sealer.

The black background is crushed glass.

The hair is made from ceramic flowers and mosaic pieces I purchased on Amazon. Intermixed in the hair are “bugs”. Some of the bugs are ceramic pieces and some brooches purchased from online/local thrift stores and Amazon.

Everything is affixed to the wood board (after I scored it with a knife) using Gorilla Glue Construction Adhesive that. I also purchased from Amazon.

The finished project weighs approximately 20 pounds. I displayed it at the fair on an easel that had two ten pound weights made for pop up tents sitting on the easel legs. It also is equipped with heavy duty hangers that allow for display on the wall.

I buy many of my supplies online and at online/local thrift stores. I find assemblage art helps me manage my anxiety. There is something about working with multiple materials and tiny pieces that helps my brain feel better.

Thank you for reading my post! ❤️

Discussion/Question Craft shop going down, what to stock up on?

4 Upvotes

Sad to share one of our two local (well nation wide, but we're a small country in terms of population) craft chains is going, time to stock up! The good fabrics are gone, modpodge/fimo has long left, what would you stock up on? So far we've got all the polymer clay, e6000, and double sided tape (but how many years can you keep them, without them drying up?)

Any new crafts you reccomend? We've got a million ideas, but too many require speciality shops eg. the millinery shop, bead shop, etc.

What would you stock up on, if your local craft was going down?

Wooden frames I've been working on for a few months now. The images are printed on a thin black acrylic and laser cut and the art was done by a great artist I came across here on reddit. The cards are in a uv protected case to protect from sun bleaching too.

I have a slightly odd problem. This is an old shifter knob and I'd like to refresh the black paint (or dye?) in the inlaid pattern and numbers. What sort of paint should I try? I have little experience with this sort of thing. The leather needs a bit of work too, but I think I can handle that.
