Bertha (Skull & Roses)

This was inspired by one of my favorite album covers. The live double album called Grateful Dead. It is informally called Skull and Roses by some (or most). I had some old Halloween decorations, two plastic skulls, that I made a mold out of. To make the mold I covered the skull in foil, very tightly, and taped all the foil pieces together. Then I laminated paper over the entire skull with white glue. Many layers. Once dry I cut the paper and carefully removed the plastic skull. I taped the seams back up and added a few more layers of paper. The roses are store-bought cloth roses that were trimmed to size and dipped in glue to harden.
