I put a final layer of paint on the zombie head last night, and now it's sitting on a windowsill ready to greet the trick or treaters this evening. Here's hoping the rain passes over by then.
I mounted the head on a table lamp, which means I can do this:
Sure it's cheesy, but hey - it's Halloween. In Old Norse you'd call this a draugljotr: a zombie lamp. Sometimes zombies in Viking sagas are associated with strange, supernatural lights, so I thought why not?
The skin colour looks a lot like a bog body, with some nice blue undertones. I've also put gloss varnish inside the mouth and on the scabby areas to contrast with the matte finish on the surface of the skin.
