Head…to…Toes! (Uh, "Halo to Base")

From the top of his halo to the bottom of his base;
each of the angels of the shadow children are coming together.

It's kind of a funky, fun combination of paper maché, applied
papers, theater gauze with paper maché paste, hardware cloth,
black Gesso, and acrylic paints…  all mixed into a couple applications.

I even decided to apply some theater gauze on his head for hair!

And the base is a combination of stenciled checkerboard,
applied tissue papers and a coffee stained, computer generated
 image of a vintage skeleton key and the word "angel"…
This guy's two "brothers" are at the same point in production,
but have different colors applied to their bodies.
