Periscope for the Dead?
So, as is typical of me, I allowed my mind to wander off of one project and on to another. Giving myself an unintentional break from my Gravedigger prop, I decided to start work on a new prop that had popped into my head a few days ago. A ground-breaking arm, holding up an eyeball as if to use it as a periscope for the dead.
This turned out to be an extremely simple prop to make, and required very little thought. A few bones from a Bag o’ Bones that I had purchased last year for my gaol prisoner skeleton, a 4″ drywall screw, some hot glue, a few small scraps of wire coat-hanger and some latex & cotton were all that was needed for this one. Oh yeah, and we can’t forget the eyeball.
I may do a bit more painting, but otherwise, this one’s pretty much finished. Though I haven’t decided if I want this one in the graveyard, or popping up from the Witch’s Cauldron.

What a neat original idea and good pics too. I like skin colors… it has a briney deep appearance to it. Gotta love the eyeball!
I’ve never seen anything like this before!! Truly a one of a kind design my friend. Actually, it’s REALLY creepy. The hand looks like something that came directly from the depths of earth 500 years ago. Moreover, the blood vessels off the eyeball give it an extra creep factor for me. Excellent creation SK! I would stay away from ANY ground that was covered in these things…Eeeeeck!
