Figure C
9. Smooth the face one final time with your fingers dipped into a little water (figure C) and set outside in the sun to dry. It may take up to 24 hours for the face to completely dry.

10. Paint the face with one coat of gesso that has been thinned down with a drop or two of water.

11. Paint the inside of the eye area with yellow acrylic craft paint.

12. Using a very thin brush and the black craft paint, paint the top lash line, bottom lash line and pupil.

13. Add a very thin red line directly above the bottom lash line to give a blood shot look.

14. Paint the lips gray.

Figure D
15. With the bottom end of a small paintbrush dipped into black paint, make two dots on the bottom of the nose for nostrils (figure D). Set the face aside to dry.

16. After the face is completely dry, brush on the antiquing gel and then quickly wipe the gel away, leaving small amounts of the gel in and around the features. Let dry.

17. Using the wire cutters cut away all but 2 inches of the skewer. This will be inserted into the body.
