Zombie Elephant - Susan Barmore

Would you like to learn to be comfortable with a paint brush?    Let Susan take the terror out of painting and learn many other unusual techniques at the same time! The Zombie Elephant form is a simple and easy shape.  You will need to pre-sew and gesso before class.  Susan will teach you how to use acrylic paints to paint the body, shading and highlighting the face and eyes.  The class also includes making wings from Tyvek, wire and paint.  The list of items you will create in this class goes on. You will make the staff, a skull crown and doll stand. Learn to make weather tattered cloths and embellishing her with beads and feathers.  This class is not only fun but pack full of little things that make a doll special and this Zombie Elephant is certainly special.
