Thanks PeePee and Beepy! ;)
Vicc -- yes, and they tell me they want to headbutt you until you admit how cool and non-creepy they are. I told them I'd think about it. |

Trousers - thanks -- just plain mannequin busts. I used spraypaint and paint pens (except on the plain one, where I just used rust finish), all freehand.

I hope you'll post pics of the new planters when you finish them.
Trousers -- Your coffee table is cool. I agree that you should decoupage down the sides as well. |

I actually gave that one as a gift to someone I HATE now. Kills me because it was my favorite. However... I would consider doing one for you in the future.
There was another one I did like that (which I gave to a friend), that has a gloss finish... I'll see if I can find a pic. I like the matte finish better I
think, since it shows the detail more.
The second one pictured above is only the 2nd one I did... kinda sloppy, and done w/ painbrush. Paint pens help a lot. |

I'll even throw in one of my custom pen/memory holders to sweeten the deal.

Those are incredible, I'm impressed it was freehand.

Here's a pic of the other one I mentioned... more color on this one, and w/ gloss.
 
Hammy I wouldn't dare ask you to part with your pen/memory holder. Just money. lololoalfelafolafolfolfolflflfo |

Wow - thanks for posting the pics! I'm a little frightened by them but oddly intrigued as well. I think it is the plant hair that scares me a bit. The
painting is amazing.

That's cool too, but yeah, I prefer the matte finish.
AND BACK THE FUCK OFF, PEEPS. |

The eyes are untouched -- just as they were when I got the mannequin. I just put tape over so they don't get paint on them.

I'm curious -- where do you get the mannequin busts?

Awesome mannequin heads! The pattern is really nicely done. Where does one get one of those head? Retail dumpster diving?

You can get them online... They usually run about $50 apiece, although I have found cheaper. It's cool because they're fiberglass and they hold up
really well. I've had 2 outside foreeeever..they've been rained on, watered in, etc., and so far they're holding up great.
