Production of 1,000 Day of the Dead inspired hair clips. This is a small fraction of the process. Set at 15 seconds between shots then 15 frames per second, which comes out to over 19 hours. There are about 500 skulls shown here. Not shown is the kneading of the polymer clay, weighing it out, molding it, baking it, glazing the final product, wrapping, packaging, labeling and shipping. The whole project took about 6 weeks and most days we worked 8-14 hours. No longer selling handmade ones but looking into getting them manufactured. Sam worked with me the whole time. Thank you a thousand times! And also the biggest thank you ever to anyone that pre-ordered one. A thousand in 4 days, are you joking? You’re the best.
