i am planning a buckethead art project. the basic gist of which is a wall of bucketheads. it\'s not fully fleshed out yet, but when it\'s done i will post pictures. my question is this. does anyone have any tips on where i can find bulk, cheap, face masks? what about black wigs? and where can i find that funeral tape stuff? i work at kfc so the buckets are not a problem.
any ideas?
thanks
that\'s got to be an interesting and somewhat conflicting situation to work at KFC and be a Buckethead fan. hehe.
the Halloween shops will be opening soon, so you might find some cool stuff for your project then. otherwise, online and costume shops would be good places to start.
Sounds like a neat-o project...the funeral stickers may be the trickiest to find...i found them a cafe-express a couple years ago but the vendor no longer exists...
Here is the authentic funeral stickers...box of a 1000 :o

I imagine you\'d need to contact them...no online order form. :-/
A tip: if ya search online for the masks...search white MALE mask...narrows it down a bunch...a long curly wig outta be easy enough to find...
Good luck with you\'re art project! Have FUN! and be sure to post a pic when youz done! :D
BIG HUGZ! ;D
thanks a lot for the info on funeral stickers. i was having a hard time finding them. i found the masks for cheap. i don\'t yet know how much the funeral stickers are going to be, they come in a box of 1000 though so i hope not too much. i have been able to find the wigs, but a lot of what i find are real wigs, cost too much. halloween wigs are more reasonably priced, but at $18 each it will cost a lot for my project. i\'m looking for a much more wholesale cost. or even the kind of hair that is a hat with hair coming off the sides. since i will be only using the sides anyways. i\'ve been looking into bulk doll hair, that sort of thing.
if anyone else can help please do.
and again, thanks a million for the info on the funeral stickers zq, you tha bomb!
:) Happy to hep..I like diggin up stuff! ;)
Craft Doll hair sounds like it would be the way to go...
I didn\'t read how long the strands are in this package...but says ya can make a mane with it...so I\'m figuring it must be long? Hope. You can probably find it local as well...at a craft store.

BIG HUGZ! ;D
I got a white mast from good ol wal mart for about $3-4.
This sounds like such a cool project!
Hey glassblojo - if you end up buying 1000 funeral stickers and that\'s too many for your project, I\'ll take 100 off your hands provided the price is right, pm me if want.... or I\'m sure you can sell the extras to some other bots or on eBay.

I find a solid vocabulary of swear words very handy when doing arts & crafts.
I was recently working on part of a project that I put together, took apart, and put half way together again before I realized it sucked. But it worked out because I got a better idea. I like to let the art participate in it\'s own creation.
i was actually thinking that the 1000 would be way too many for me. i was thinking i could try to sell them on e-bay stuck on a kfc bucket for $1.00 each. but if you guys want to get in on it does .25 cents each sound like a fair price for fellow bucketbots?
I would take a few of the stickers too 8)
Is it the old-style KFC bucket? or one of the new ad filled ones?
not quite sure what you mean by the ad filled ones, but they are not the old style, they are mostly red, with kfc on it and colonel sanders face, but not the red and white stripes. i wish! that would be cool i just got paid today, so if people are interested let me know, i\'ll order in the next couple days. you can e-mail me personally at glassblojo@yahoo.com thanks

nothing a little paint couldn\'t fix.
that\'s true. but ia am personally partial to the all white bucket. it\'s what he was wearing at the show i went to in eugene, and i like it better. i also like the coverall suit he was wearing as opposed to the yellow raincoat. i\'ve been listening to bucket for 13 years now, but i seem to like the "new school" look.
what about youz guyz?
quite fond of the new appearance and the mystery meshed eyes :)
I like the white bucket too. Maybe when he comes to my local venue in October I could give him a bunch of different colored ones? Red, yellow, blue.... lol Wonder if he\'d like them?
so i\'m ordering the funeral stickers in the morning. anyone interested let me know by the end of the week.
anyone that wants some let me know. i was hoping to sell chunks of 100 at a time for $25. i have faith in my fellow bucketbots so i will send them out and wait for payment.
so let me know.
so i just wanted to let everyone know that my project has finally started getting underway. i\'ve got my buckets, and my hair finally came in the mail today! i\'ve also decided to make my buckets look a lot more like the old school buckets. not exact, but close. my funeral stickers should be arriving soon. same with my masks and butcher apron. just wanted to say thanks again for the help in finding this stuff, and the pics shouldn\'t be long now.
but check out my personal image, i changed it to a pic of my dog. his name is bucket. he\'s a fellow bot too!
well, i seem to be completely stumped about posting a pic on here. maybe someone will help me out. it seems i have to have the pic posted on the web or something. all my pics are on my external hard drive. anyways if someone can help let me know.
thanks
sounds fun!
you\'ll need something like photobucket. you upload your pics there and then you can post an image here.
