I am so happy that Halloween is coming and I have my house decorated inside all year long with Halloween stuff. This month I made a ghoul with horns and a mask on his knees lurking. This was so much fun! I love making dolls in general and have made and sold so many but I wanted to do a creepy kind of doll but not too creepy.
First I made the structure from cheap wire. I made the body, arms, legs and head and then taped it with masking tape to add more strength.

Then I took the
Creative PaperClay and used it to cover the whole structure with the paperclay. I added a mask and horns and a few other little embellishments that I wanted to give him.

I let it dry and then painted the body part green and the rest black. I textured his face a bit and painted it a black/red and his horns and eyes red. I love my little piece and it will be added to my other clay pieces sitting around that I love to make!

I hope this inspires a Halloween Craft out of you and when you do, you use
Creative paperclay to do it with! It is so fun to use with kids!!

Now that's pretty creepy! Great job
Thank you Barbara! Wait until the blog hop! Mwahahahahahahahaah!
Love this little guy. I have a question,when I have used the paper clay, mainly for doll heads, it cracks and separates. What am I doing wrong?
Always keep paperclay wet and covered when using and water helps any cracks while working or drying. I also have had to once dry go over with a slip (watered down paper clay) over any cracks. Sometimes it does because of humidity and heat and will dry too fast.
