I got some good work done today. I have a shot of the hatchet painted and then bloodied.
I also worked a bit on the guard. I stabilized the joints, first with electrical tape and then drilled a hole through and ran a wire.
Here's the piece I added to give the head more depth:
and now he has wire hands to wrap around the staff and hold the lantern:
I added a bit of creepy cloth for just more and to take the 'new' edge off:
I also made one more game for kids. They will bounce eyeballs off a table and have to get them into the eyes or mouth, one of the black cups.
While it seems easy, here's the result of my son and I giving it a go.
2 out of 15 is terrible, but triple that. The ball bounced out quite a bit. However, like a carnival you can make the game easier or more difficult by changing the board angle.
Still a few more little things to do, but I should be done before carving time starts.
