small heart pin

Here is a small pin you can make using perler or hama beads. here is a picture of the heart on a grid.

You need to create the heart on the peg board. Iron it down so the beads fuse. Let it cool. You will need to use some sort of pin backing, you can pick them up at most craft stores. Once the heart has cooled, using a hot glue gun, or some other strong adhesive, glue the pin back to the back of the heart.

Heads

It's been awhile, sorry. I have been making a few new heads for 1/6th scaled action figures. I first made a mold from a Neo Henshin Cyborg head. Here is the mold. psticks neo henshin cyborg
I use resin to create the heads. Sometimes, the mold doesn't line up right and the head is shifted to one side. I use super sculpey to create a neck and add parts to the heads. Here are a sampling of the first six heads.

The first head is like an ape who lives outside the Ape city near the grassland where the humans live. I made the hair out of yarn. The second head is AERO X, a replacement head like the old Henshin Cyborg costumes. I wanted to make a bootleg Henshin Cyborg character. Third is a villain snail head, I am still working on the body. Fourth is like Moss man, I flocked him with grass used in model train scenery. Fifth head is what the Neo Henshin Cyborg would look like with flesh tones. The last head is the Neo Henshin Cyborg painted silver like his Microman cousins. I still need work on my mold making skills. Thank you
