HALLUCIGENIA

Hi!
You probably already saw my self-made mythological creatures, made with Crayola paste over a wodden-metal-silliccone structure. But the fact is, before I discover Crayola paste, I used to make figs using the materials I had: silliccone and wood (of course) but also other materials: corks, seashells, pièces of fur, nails and even a piece of a rubber hose, a piece of broken boiler handle, a piece of old faucet composition and more stuff we can hardly imagine. Here are four animals I made with those heteroclythic objects: a Glyptodon, a Porcupine, an Anomalocaris and a Hallucigenia.

Wow!  These are absolutely amazing!  They look like true works of art.  I could recognize the hallucigenia right away.  It just goes to show that stylized art can still look beautiful and be scientifically accurate.  Fantastic work!

Thank you! Yet, if you knew what I used to make the Hallucigenia... a piece of broken hose, a piece of thick metal wire (tail region), piece of faucet (head), nails...

You are very, very creative!!

Thank you! Am I the only one who used heteroclithic objects like those to make figures?

Those are FANTASTIC !!!!

What creativity, what charm, what personality !!!!
They make me very happy, I can't stop smiling

Thank you for your compliments! Yet I didn't expect such enthusiasm from forum fellows, those figures being made out of anything...

True... yet we are not made out of corks, hose pieces and nails!

The coloring is wonderful. I love how you mix the colors and tones.

Valérie, I am so glad Silvia posted in this topic once I missed it.
Your talent is already known from other topics but I have to assume that these are the most exciting works I've seen from you. I have seen some people recycling some pieces and some material to make animal figures but nothing as exotic and as immaginative as you did. I am fascinated and congratulations for your creative mind.
