Building a Witch

Step 5 The Neck Bone is Connected to the Jaw Bone...

You have you're skull now. This is the base for the witch's head, so it isn't going to look like this for too much longer. You're going to be adding more paper machie to the skull from here on out, so now is a good time to give the witch a neck. This will make it much easier to apply the paper machie, and will allow it to dry more evenly. Figure out where you think the neck should be going into the skull, and draw an X there. Then take something sturdy and trace it around the X. Cut out that circle, and stick whatever you used into the hole in the skull. I used a 1 inch PVC pipe.

Now is also a good time to attach the jaw to the skull. If you figured out a way to do this in the previous steps, good for you. I wasn't able to, and that is why I said not to worry much about it. I rolled up some newspaper and taped the roll so it would stay. I then bent it into the jaw shape that I wanted and taped the jaw to the skull. It won't be attached well at this point, but later on it will be secured with more layers of paper machie.
