They are so DADA! and I would love to show the students some of this art movements collages too. :<) I just love your site and always go to it first for inspiration. Thank
you for so much help over the years.
I would love to use these templates but according to my computer download report, they are no longer available. Please put them up again. I want to use them in an art class...
Hi melaniemunsell, the features weren't created using templates -- we searched the web for fun images to print out for eyes, noses, ears, and mouths.
Same here where are the features???
Great to answer the door in to greet the trick and treaters in with a few changes. First , remove the stick and use elastic cord so you have hands free to hand out treats.Second instead of decopage glue I lamenated it with self lamenting sheets, which as a teacehr we learn to do to preserve things that might get alot of ware. It also gives it the collage shine without the work and cost of the glue. I used the hubbard, with red devil eyes,a spark plug nose, and a skeletal mouh with teeth.
I'd like to make these but you have only supplied the image templates. Where are the facial features?
Am I missing something? Where are the "features"? From the video it seems like they would be supplied. All I see are the heads.
Thanks!
