Of pinatas and skulls

Had a revelation with the paper mache glue…

Apparantly it can ferment. It didn’t mold, but it had something going on there…

Our dryer currently exhausts into the garage till we can get the duct going out back cleaned. I was keeping the pinata and glue in there, and with the dryer going all day, I cam home to notice it bubbling…that can’t be good…

I was presented with a most unique smell when I unwrapped it. Not BAD, really, just…odd. I decided to err on the safe side, and dumped the rest.

Made a new batch last night, and now the entire pinata is 7 layers thick, strong, durable. Time to add on the string, and finally, add on the spikes to make the ‘star’ pattern.

At least it’s something new…not another Darth Pinata:

And, in honor of the movie, and just to generally have some fun, I started a mold to make some full size Crystal Skulls. Figured I’ld give a few away, maybe keep one. It’ll be a more complicated mold than previous ones, so I’ll add it to the tutorial once it’s done as well.

Well, showtime starts in a few hours. I’ll be back with a review when I can. And yes, pics are coming this weekend.
