My fountain consists of a "Mr. Thrifty" skull
cut on an angle using a hack saw and the lower jaw removed. A couple of
protrusions are added to the crest of the head. |

I sculpted a pair of wings using Sculpty clay and
baked it according to the directions. Once cooled, the wings were
lightly sanded to smooth any uneven areas. |

The reservoir is a 1/2 Wall mount planter from Home
Depot. This will hold and conceal the small pond pump. The pump will be
connected to tubing that exits thru the mouth of the Thrifty skull half. |

The back of the fountain is
modeled after a "Gothic Cathedral Window" from Design
Toscono. It's formed from 2 pieces of 1" foam; the top layer
was carved with a Dremel with a router attachment and then glued to the
rear layer with Liquid Nails. The edges are rounded off with medium grit
sand paper. |

In addition to the
pump, the reservoir will hold a Mist Maker ultrasonic mist fogger
from Mainland
Mart.com. Flowing water will be accompanied with fog. |
