Calaveras and the crawlspace mystery

Started with sketches: 

And ended up painting up a combination. 

The fun part of calaveras makeup is it can still convey expressions.  I laughed when I saw Jen’s sketches since they were so similar. 

On a mysterious note Kent saw a skeleton the last time he was in the crawl space and I was looking up what it might be  I just realized the removal job will still fall to me, but then I should know what it is  my current bet it it’s a raccoo

Jen's skulls

Here is my skull series (sorry for the poor cropping on the emotionless skulls page)...

ALL THE CRAFTS!!!

I was able to combine my two favorite crafts: laser and sewing. I love how it turned out. 6 layers of fabric for the skull. It's a birthday present for Larissa so shhhhh....

Oops, I forgot to get a photo of the backing fabric. It's the lyrics to "You Are My Sunshine". On a side note, pompom fringe is a pain in the ass.

[Update: I added a photo of the backing fabric because I love it so much.]
