The nose has begun. Fishing line has been tied beneath the nose, around the top and tied behind the hat. I think you can see it in the larger image. Looking carrot-like if skinny.

Susan (Haunt Space moderator) dared me so I'm gonna do it. There's a reason I haven't worked on this guy for this long. She dared me to put a Funkin* Jack O' Lantern head on him. Not going to use a Funkin, but I'm going to carve his face and paint his face orange.

Ya gotta do what you gotta do. Freaky (temporary name-Freaky the Snowman) got too top heavy for his base and started leaning. So I grabbed boxes and a wire rack to prop him up. His nose fits nicely between the wires.

Surgery. I am now a snowman proctologist. He was just so top-heavy that I decided to cut a hole in his bottom and add sand. The bg is all blurred so you can see him clearly. The boxes and rolled up paper holding him up make it hard to see. Thomas held him while I cut, then poured in the sand...actually old tile grout...while I tried to not cover him in a cloud of the stuff. (coffcoff)

Covered with gesso mixed with grey tile grout. Evil makes snow dirty you know. Face cut, inside of head painted red and a strand of red lights added. The lights really are red, but the camera turned them white.

Done!

*Funkin is my favorite brand of artifical, carve-able pumpkin.
