Building up the Top

Here I started fitting the skulls and parts for the fountains "Head" top.  I used an old 4 quart container in the center to prop things up, and eventually use it to have a source to create fog from (ultrasonic didn't work well with a breeze, maybe dry ice for outside this year).
The pump is mounted to the plexiglass , with a simple through hole, and the inlet is trimmed so it is below the waterline (um bloodline) when it is filled. This was then glued in place creating  the top reservior of the fountain. 
The rightmost picture shows the pump in place, and the 3rd picture shows the same angle with a skull that was modified to fit over and hide the pump.  
The pump came with a 90 degree fitting that happened to accept the 1" conduit quite nicely. A thigh bone and shoulder blade were used to make the top cascade, they were simply drilled and srewed together, they can be easily removed to access the fog tank.  The main head at the top had a 1" hole drilled from it's underside, and various openings in the eyes, nose etc were made for the blood to gush out .   The top end of the conduit was wrapped in electrical tape to form a wedge seal that the skull attaches to.
