When you see Bob, tell him I said HI, and Im sorry I didnt get to hook up with him to catch some brookies....

This is the oil tanned cape...


Last night I cut and screwed the antlers to the form... Than used Bondo over that..  Than used paper mache to smooth it out and make the skull cap..


Now Im sewing up some holes and getting the ears ready...

Ears turned inside out and put some dry preservative on them so the bondo will stick..

I have to close my eyes, and imagine how cool this looks because work blocks Photobucket.   >:(

  The antlers are still attached to a small part of the skull which is where the screws go through to screw it to the form..  The form has a piece of wood in it to hold the screws..
