MooBoo's tombstone attempt

Those are all amazing! I'm really impressed by Zero's tombstone.

Foam is such an awesome medium. You can make almost anything out of foam

Everyone's commenting on your Zero tombstone doghouse... I wanna know about the ghost. How did you make it? What's under the fabric.

And, ok ok... I love that Zero grave too. I'm a sucker for Nightmare Before Christmas stuff, and I've never seen a homemade version of that.

Thankyou guys, glad you liked Zero's especially when my family had no idea what its from. I may have to disown them!

I'm afraid there is nothing special under the fabric, just a foam head, attached to a coat hanger with some wire.

The wire wraps around the coat hanger and goes right through the head. I padded the coat hanger with some newspaper to give it more of a shoulder frame, and wrapped the wire so i could hang it.
I then drapped the fabric over and let gravity do its job.

I layered the red, for a little bit of colour

And the final piece. I shredded the fabric, to give it more of a tattered look.

I'm still not 100% happy with it, but i can't decide what's missing.
I looked into using frames but i wanted it to have more of a floating look. Nevermind the fact i'm not that good with a hammer. Anywho, glad you like.

Really like that all you did was a foam head, hanger and fabric. I really like the floaty, ethereal look it gives it. I don't think it's lacking much, but I know what you mean... Maybe it's a little too "clean" looking?

Ah, very cool. That's the beauty of a hanging ghost prop like that. You don't need anything fancy underneath to make something effective. I made a similar ghost a few years back. I had a mask (stuffed with paper to give it shape) as the head, and tattered fabric hanging off shoulders made from a coat hanger. A little breeze and your ghost comes alive. In my case, I realized the white fabric I had used was responsive to blacklight. So that added a little more glowy appearance to my specter.

Zero's tombstone is awesome, and the ghost is fabulous. Maybe for decorating my house next season I will do something like that.
