This custom severed head on its way to England…Severed Unicorn Heads are huge in England! Maybe it’s cuz the US dollar is teh suck…

Now available at Shoparooni. Tell her you love her all over again.

I just finished up making 6 “valentinesy” stuffed heads for Cleveland’s Shoparooni. It is hard to deny a request to “really, deeply fuck with people” for Valentine’s day.
Here they are cut and unsewn (they are well beyond this step currently– sewn, stuffed and sitting in a box):

(Fun fact: I listened exclusively to the Unicorns while making these, and when I wasn’t listening to the Unicorns, I was listening to the post-Unicorns.)

(I’m embarrassed that this thing records the time of posting.)
New horn style: Thanks to a craft magazine from the ’80s that my mom picked up for me from Arts & Scraps (there was a little stuffed unicorn project and pattern inside, among others), the stuffed unicorn heads will now feature much more superior horns. They are more stable, and look “twisted.” This was a test stitch on one of the “original 5″ heads I made back in the day (uh, August), and so this unicorn head now has two horns (hmmm…):

Improving the eyes on the stuffed heads: previously using fabric Xs that are ironed on. Now working with sculpey and molds to make three-dimensional “button-like” eyes:

Other current improvements:
- better horns (more stable; “twisted” look)
- stuffed with corn-based fiberfill (instead of polyester/petroleum-based)

UNSTOPPABLE 

First post. Feels weird.
I have a list of catch-up posts. Here’s the first:
For the Shadow Art Fair (and now to include in orders), we made these “business cubes” to hand out. Drawn by me. Printed and die cut at vgkids. Found tiny rubber horses thanks to help from the Rocket. Cut off heads. Twisted thin gold wire to make horns and jammed them into heads. Glued to bottom of cube. Assembled cube:

Remaining horse bodies were strung up on clear rubber cord and used as garland on our table. (I meant to take photos of our table, but didn’t. It was magical.)
