e_phemerart | a slasher goes a corpsing

I plopped down a few bucks and got a very cheap plastic skeleton figure. I'm going to use the torso as the base for my puppet. The good aspects are that it's light weight, already semi-jointed, and basically the right size. But it's not perfect and will require some alterations--the slashing part is cutting out negative space between the rib bones and reworking the shape of the ribcage into something a little more feminine extreme. (Remember the corseted xrays I posted a while ago?) Then I'm going to "corpse" it with a a skin of modified paper mache technique, cheap glue and paper toweling.

fyi: I'm not going for realistic corpse gore, but a more "cute but still creepy" doll look.

Was just playing around laying out skeleton parts along with the carved foam zombie head...yeah, this had potential. I'm hoping to get the basic body work done this week, when I am off on Wednesday.
