MEDUSA!
*The Headpiece*

...is rather heavy.
I used 3 wire hangers to make up the base.

Then I used 5+ rubber snakes and 4 smaller snakes, and wired them onto the base.
Spray painted everything black (had previously painted the snakes black),
Used my Medusa dread falls (that I made) and wrapped those into the headpiece.
I read somewhere that Medusa liked shinny things....so, I hit up many yard sales and my own stash to find pieces.

I used Halloween black to dab on and then used glitter black powder to set it.

Elmers glue + White glitter.
Dark purple in the crease and a lighter for under the brow.

Headpiece.
Then used the other dread falls to balance the headpiece in place.
*Medusa dread falls - I braided the wavy yarn together in sections. Then added any lil shiny bits to it. THEN dropped into boiling water for a few seconds. Pulled out and let air dry for a few hours (days really, only cause I hadn't felt like messing with them sooner). Then strung onto another piece of yarn (like you do putting together dread falls normally).
