Styrofoam Heads

I usually like to do things that have a purpose, but lately, not so much.

I've discovered a fondness for styrofoam heads. I only have three of them, but I have heard that three equals a collection. So there, it's out. I collect styrofoam heads.

And, you might ask, what does one DO with a collection of styrofoam heads?

Well, what prompted me to blog about this was that I just went out into my front entryway and discovered the three heads on the library table, sinisterly staring at me. Two of them are lovely. I ripped up bits of masking tape and stuck it all over them. Then, I stained them with shoe polish and sealed them.

The other one, I just bought Saturday. I had to buy a wig to get the styrofoam head, but I'm sure a wig will come in handy in the 'dress-up' box. Daughter has already used it to scare the dogs, and her Youngest brother.

Now for the sinister part. The unfinished styrofoam head is a pasty white and aged yellow combination. It has funny pins stuck all over it, which used to hold the wig on. When I took the wig off the head, I just shoved most of the pins into the neck.

The grouping on the library table gives the look of a strange sort of altar. The heads are all bare, as mink hats just weren't appropriate for spring. So, now I must start a spring hat collection.

Anyway...I think that properly finished and nicely arranged, the hatted heads will look lovely displayed on the library table. And, in the mean time, they might just serve to keep bad guys away.

Must go. Have to pull the pins out of the head and start ripping the tape!
