Title: Sculpted jackelope head
Post by: Salli on May 18, 2015, 06:57:58 PM: So my bestie is a fan of jackelopes, so I browsed the internet for jacklope gift ideas for her birthday. I came up with crocheted mounted-heads on boards which were cute but alas, I can only crochet a square. And not well.

So I decided to try sculpting one. His antlers aren't my favorite but yay! he's done and loved <3 that makes me happy. I may try to sculpt some fake deer antlers sometime for myself.

I'm curious though, how big is it? It's hard to tell from the photo. :)

Now I wanna make more mounted heads, I made five of them when I was in junior high and it was super fun.

Thanks, I thought it might be life-sized. It must look even more impressive in person!

A few weeks working on it here and there. Although most of that was redoing the left eye 500 times. XD
