I know it seems counter-intuitive, but I believe that limitations can produce an extremely creative environment. This is why I love rule based projects. You may remember my Orange Curtain Project from a couple of years ago. I've been wanting to do another, but I didn't have any really great ideas. Until, now.
Without further ado, may I introduce The Santa Project.
I've never really been into pre-made doll heads, I'd rather just make my own. But, I recently came across a bunch of Santa doll heads. My first thought was, who wants a Santa doll? My second thought was, who else could you make with those heads? So that's the challenge. I have 6 little Santa heads, and a brain full of ideas.
This project is a just-for-fun, stress-free zone. So, no time limit. Just a bunch of old, mustached, white man dolls. I have a ton of other things I should be doing, so I'm not sure when I'll get the first one done.
In the meantime, does anyone have any tips for working with these things? How to attach them to the body? How you might attach a beard? What kind of paint you could use on the face? I clearly have no idea what I'm doing.
