Wonderful, Wonderful Times With Marc– My ThermoMorph Face

This isn’t a project,  just an idea after I started musing at Marc’s!  I took the remains of the ThermoMorph that I was asked to review a couple of weeks ago for Marc to play with, I wasn’t entirely convinced of it’s potential for me “personally” as a crafter, but I thought Marc might be able to come up with an ingenious use for it.
ThermoMorph can be re-used over and over again if an idea doesn’t work out and I had forgotten I had put some “failed” faces I had moulded back in the pot, so when we opened it again there they were.

Glittered die cut scottie dogs …… and I started to play with the face, first adding red glitter to the lips, then a thin line of blue to the eyes, followed by eyebrows and a blush to the cheeks using Promarker pens.
Thermomorph FaceThe cold, white waxiness of the ThermoMorph gave the face an haunted/ethereal look which all came together when I added a black background and doodled hair with a white gel pen.  perhaps this is an idea I will come back to in time.
And while I am on the subject of ThermoMorph you just have to have a look what Nicky made with hers, …… a snowman kit and Marc if you see this can you make me a set!!!!
And while you are looking,  have a look at this post too, I got the mould from Poundland too to use with my ThermoMorph but unlike Nicky never actually got round to doing anything with it …… doh!!!
