First I'd like to point out that I didn't make that word up...some one else did, but I love it!!!
I recently saw a web poster called "Lawn of the Dead" where some really clever peeps had zombified their garden gnomes...and I wanted one!!!
I gave my desk faerie away recently, and needed a new one, so why not a desk Zgnombie instead :D. Now where to start???
Dug up a plastic skeleton from last Halloween...
But it's legs were too long...so I RIPPED them off...
and bandaged them back on mummy style...(using toilet tissue and pva glue)
When dry, I added a coat of white gesso, to stiffen it up a bit.
then the fun part...painting with acrylic, and adding wispy hair.
Side view...
Rear view...
Added details; eyeball for empty socket, shiny buttons and belt buckle and a pointy hat :D
Ta Dah! Meet Abacrombie the Zgnombie!
not sure about his name...if you have a better suggestion shout up :D
He is my offering for this weeks challenge at The Butterfly Effect...GNOMES...which I suggested, just so I could make this mwahahahaha....
