Hi
my name is Robb Ochoa. I did the Mantle Piece with Icicles hanging down
the edge years ago. Thank you for sharing it with others. To create this
face. First I took a picture of my home. After Printing on regular sized
paper, I drew teeth and eyes on a separate piece of paper fitted them
to the picture for sizing. I then taped them to the picture. Next I had
a buddy hold up a 4' x 8' x 1'' piece of foam inside the porch where the
teeth would be located on the house entrance. I then marked the porch
arch on the foam using a felt pen. Later that night, using an image projector,
I shined the image on the foam, lining up the drawing of the teeth to
felt pen marking on the foam. I then copied the teeth drawing to the foam.
Not moving the projector I had the right size of image to then copy the
eye sockets the same way on a separate piece of foam. Using the Foam Factories
Tools, I cut them the marked teeth and eyes out. All painting was done
latex paints so the foam would be protected. Eyes and pupils were added
later and attached to eye sockets with floral pins at an angle.
