Today I went shopping. I managed to pick up most of the remaining pieces for the project, including all the little pvc elbows for his skeleton. I also got some nice chunky twine to make his ropes out of.When I got home I took apart the salad tongs I had gotten for his eyes, sawed the spoon part off, put a bit of electrical tape cut in the shape of a pupil into the right spot, and painted.
I painted the irises (though they will need another coat) and put a dark wash over all the spikes. I think they're turning out well, tomorrow I can start varnishing.
I did most of my shopping at the dollar store (though even that adds up) and I found there... a glue gun. For a dollar. I bought it, because mine went missing so long ago that I think I must have lent it to someone. It had some weird issues anyways. This one is tiny and hopefully will work well enough for this one project.
Still, the dollar store glue gun scares me.
