[Lilly]

very cool Beelce..
makes me want to make one for my gypsy room
good use for that old jewelry..no where did I put my moms old stuff?

[Haunted Bayou]

A bejeweled skull. ...fantastic. Very original.
Great prop!

[Frighteners Entertainment]

Neat idea and agree with H.B., very original.

[pyro]

wow -just like everyone said very original good job

[Revenant]

THAT is cool!!! And you're right... I'm not sure I've seen anyone take that approach... it's not the first thing people think of when they do a mummy... but that's just cool. Be perfect for a catacombs/Indy Jones type haunt.

[scareme]

What a great idea! I've got bags of old junk jewelry that I know what I'm going to do with now. Thanks for sharing.

[Adam I]

Outstanding great idea
My daughter loves it.

[Hawks Hill Haunter]

Nicely done!

[ScareShack]

thats pretty neat looking....kinda creepy too....awesome job!

[Ghoulbug]

very cool..... i like it

[beelce]

Thanks for the kind words everyone...I had second thoughts about entering it because it is so different, but what the heck...It was fun to put together...My first idea was to cover it solid with jewels, but I started with the eyes and from there the darn thing took on a life of it's own a turned out totally different than I had imagined.

[RookieSpooker]

That's pretty sweet. I wish I could find a skull for that price.

[dave the dead]

.I had second thoughts about entering it because it is so different,

Different is good Beelce! Nice job.

[Bethene]

great job, yea, it is different, but that's waht makes it so great, very cool idea

[Merlin (The Quiet One)]

Very unique idea. Looks great.

[Dr Morbius]

I like this too..original. Glad you entered it!

[skeletonowl]

awesome job! I love the look and I think this could deffiantly be used in a fortuneteller gypsyish thing too Lilly!

[crossblades400]

way cool and creative man!

[slimy]

I like 'different' as well.


Good job.

[Spooklights]

I like the originality!

[Ms. Wicked]

It definitely has a "ritualistic-ceremonial sacrifice" edge to it. I'm glad you entered it! Great job!

[Phil]

I like this - very convincing replication, and a year-round display piece to boot!

[Daughter of Darkness]

Neat! Looks like something from Indiana Jones. I like it.... and that cool bag of goodies.

[Sickie Ickie]

The temple of Doom comes to life! Nice job!

[Hellrazor]

very authentic looking!

[RAWR]

whats wrong with a little Bling now and then.
Great work

[GothicCandle]

very cool. Great job!

[beelce]

Thanks again everyone...It's nice to get such great comments

[Fangs]

Cool!!! Love your skull!!! I agree with the others--- great originality and "ritualistic sacrifice look" like Ms W said!!!!

[Lady Nyxie]

Great effect.

[AzKittie74]

WOW! Beelce you did a fantastic job! what a great imagination! I love it

[beelce]

Awwww...thanks kittie

[beelce]

[PrettyGhoul]

Very nice beelce and very original! :D When I first saw your bejeweled Aztec Mummy Head it reminded me of the ancient Maya sacrificial practice: after purification virgins were weighted down with heavy jewelry and left in sinkholes (portals to the underworld). Also would be wonderful, as others have said, in Gypsy or Indiana Jones type haunts. I'd love to know, what do you have envisioned for your haunt theme?

[Silent Requiem]

wow- this has given me very good ideas as to how to creativly clean out my jewelry and bead junk drawer without throwing it away!Thanks, looks good!
