Today after school I started making the voodoo doll I said I would make over the weekend based on the work of Tim Burton. I started off with a wooden spoon, then I wrapped cloth around it to bulk it out a bit and used masking tape to keep it in place. When I had bulked it all out into a basic shape, I used mod-rock (see image below for examples of some artist work using this material) to go over it. To use mod-roc, wet it and put it over the area you want to model, then smooth it out as much as possible and leave it to dry. It normally takes about 10 minutes before it starts hardening properly.
I made a basic human shape and made the legs together as it's simpler to make a skirt than legs, plus it's a girl and, as I didn't want to make hair or features to spoil the voodoo effect, I made the skirt. I them wrapped cloth around it for clothes, wrapped a rope around her next to show she is captured, and made a box from leftover card and plastic sheets. Here is a photo of the finished version:
