For a while now I have been keeping an eye out for a mannequin head for photographing my earrings. No luck. I found some online that were $3...

Boar's Head #1, at a VIP event Been a wee bit quiet in here as of late I know. Despite my lack of recent posts I'm glad to say I've still been creating stuff -- it's just that these last few months were busy with several lovely private commissions that had me up to my eyeballs in elbow grease (besides, as you know me, even though I may come and go out of here at times.., I always, always come back. Eventually.). Now that most of these projects have been finished up and sent along their merry ways, it's time for some updating.... Who remembers this li'l cutie (well, pretty big actually) from a few years back....? Vegetarian Pig Head Scultpure Commission, from 2012 (Mister Pigster #1 (above) made for local theatrical production in '12 --See the original post here) I was recently commissioned to make another of these guys -- a vegetarian paper-mache "Boar's Head/Pig Head", for a customer in the great state of Oklahoma. Fun times! Some progress pics of Pig Head #2...: Disembodied Boar's Head, in progress: Sculpting the overall shape (as always, Duct Tape to the rescue)...: Before attaching his ears, I rmust make sure he will still actually fit into the box I've targeted for re-use as his shipping vessel (He fits!)..... Sculpted piggy ears...! Ears attached...! Looking more oinky all the time. Still, lacking in personality, it's time to work in some detail.... Detaila in place, and ready for painting. I began with a nice deep, dark undercoat. Lightening him up gradually (plus painting teeth!)... Always the fun part, painting ... Never complete until the requisite apple is in the mouth. And here we have "Piggly Wiggly" in his new owner's Oklahoma home. Happy Customer/Happy Artist! And, as with my first papier mache head, I'm happy to report once again that no harm was done in the making of THIS (2nd) Vegetarian Papier Mache Boar's Head. Pig Head #2 at his recent Medieval/Madrigal VIP special event.

These animal sculptures are currently made to order. Takes approx. 2-4 weeks to create the piece and ship it to you. Beautifully papered, resin bear head. No animal was hurt in the making of this craft! Easy keyhole cutout in the back. 17"[ht] X 12"[w] X 8"[d] I can ship overseas for additional shipping cost. Because we’re all hunting for something. We're all collecting our own modern trophies. What are yours? Please view images at www.jenkhoshbin.com.
So Made London was a success I think! Just taking me a few days to get back to normal and realising that I no longer have to do everything at 100 miles an hour. I thought I would show some lovely swops I made at the end of the weekend. I was so excited to finally have a beautiful ring made by super cool lady Rachel Eardley ( racheleardley.com) a warbler for a wren I think was a fair swop. Also this AMAZING broach and tiny peg dolls by Rachel Larkins ( rachellarkins.com) which I walked past all weekend but never imagined I would go home with. It made the train journey home ( standing all the way ) much more bearable knowing I had such precious things in my bag. Also I would like to thank my lovely show neighbours- Lisa ( pettibone.co.uk) Kirsty( kirstyadams.com) and Sally ( sallyweatherill.co.uk) For being inspirational ladies and for putting up with my terrible lateness. It was a little daunting being surrounded by such accomplished crafts people but I really had a great time and everyone was so friendly and supportive, I just wish that I had had more time to look around all the different stands.
Easier than you think!
