We have one little tiny water closet (toilet only) that I have decorated with silly potty humor items, made and found. I like to do seasonal decoration in there, too and this year I didn’t miss my chance to get a toilet/tombstone/skeleton figurine at Michael’s. Its paint job left a little to be desired, but of course it probably had the appropriate paint job for the price.
The last touches were gold leaf paint on the RIP and on one of the canine teeth of the “footrest skull.” I also put a tiny adhesive “gemstone” in the eye socket which had a bubble hole that looks like it may have been a manufacturer defect that just happened to be in the center.
This is so cool!! When I saw the first picture I was really curious how you’d achieved that mossy look. Well, turns out is actual moss. It really adds to the “acient” look. Like it’s been in the cemetary for a century. The painting is so neatly done as well.
What a difference! I love that you went extra and primed the whole thing first, basically starting from scratch instead of just touching up what was already there. Going that extra mile really paid off and shows!
I wasn’t sure scale at first…I thought maybe it was a lawn decoration.
I’m not usually into skeletons but this would be perfect for my husband. Just yesterday, he sat in our washroom for so long that when he came out, I said I thought he’d died in there
Back atcha!
Congratulations! This skele-tastic piece is a Featured Project this week!
