Once I made one of those old crone heads out of an apple.  I peeled it and shaped what I thought looked like a face and then I took black embroidery thread and stitched rows of "hair" through the head of the fresh apple.  I set it aside for a month or so and watched it change every day as it dried and whithered.  The eyeholes sunk in and eventually I glued some little black beads in the sockets.  The "hair" tightened in place and the skin became the tough, wrinkled skin of an old lperson.  I never did make it a body, but I kept it for years.
