Plasticine Models of Famous Person

It is used in the creation of clay animation to make characters. It is made out of calcium salts, aliphatic acids, an petroleum jelly. The consistency is a putty substance. Plasticine Models by Karen Caldicott Colonel Gaddifi has been captured - in Plasticine - by Leicester-born sculptor Karen Caldicott, who now lives in New York. Her Gaddifi bust cheekily features cuts and bruises - perhaps a glimpse at the Libyan leader's imminent future. Karen has also made eight inch-high sculptures of Michael Jackson, Mick Jagger, Hillary Clinton... ...and Apple boss Steve Jobs. Karen explains: "This Plasticine is the kind that is used in stop-motion/Claymation animation. The fact that it never really hardens makes it the perfect material to continually make adjustments, which art directors often ask me to do." "Mostly these are commissions from magazines and newspapers. If I decide to make a head otherwise it's because I can really have fun with a certain subject, she says". Pictured: her sculpture of Michael Jackson As well as sculpting well-known faces, Karen accepts commissions with prices starting at $1000. She displays her works in galleries and also has plans to animate her heads for a short film. Pictured: Mick Jagger "I do not have a favourite sculpture as I become very fond of them all," she says. "I'm surrounded by them at home, they keep me company." She first sketches her subject before painstakingly building up the shoulders and head by adding small bits of Plasticine. Once she is happy with the features the bust is then painted in acrylic.

Fw: How the dog survived being stabbed in the HEAD...

Date: Tuesday, August 9, 2011, 10:39 AM    How the dog survived being stabbed in the HEAD... How Bella the dog survived being stabbed in the HEAD during burglary By DAILY MAIL REPORTER Last updated at 4:13 PM on 8th August 2011 This brave German Shepherd sits calmly with her owner - just minutes after  burglars stabbed an eight inch blade into her skull. The six-year-old family pet, named Bella, needed emergency surgery to remove  the protruding knife after the horrific incident on Saturday. This shocking picture shows how the robbers narrowly missed the animal's eyes  as they plunged the deadly blade into her forehead. Before surgery: The German Shepherd ahead of having the knife pulled out Today Bella's owner Vernon Swart said he feared the worst when he saw the knife  sticking out of her skull following the attack at his home in South Africa. He said: 'I was in the house on Saturday morning when the neighbours called to  say our dog was running around in the street with a massive knife in her head. 'I didn't believe them but when I went outside I saw it for myself. 'The neighbours said they had caught intruders trying to enter their home and  they must have then tried to get into my place when Bella attacked them in our  garden. 'One of them had stabbed her right in the head and the end of the knife was  poking out between her eyes. 'I feared the worst and assumed she was going to die, but incredibly she was  running around as if nothing had happened.' Mr Swart, a professional artist from Stellenbosch near Cape Town, said he  rushed Bella to the vet for surgery after the stabbing. He said: 'My wife was at work but she came home and we drove down to the vet. 'Stella was on the back seat and every time she turned her head the handle of  the knife banged against the window. 'She obviously couldn't feel anything as she was acting normally, but it looked  horrific. Sickening: Vernon Swart with his Bella while she had a knife in her head 'The vet couldn't believe what he was seeing and said he had no idea how Bella  had survived. 'He put her under an anaesthetic and then pulled the blade out. 'It was imbedded so far into her skull that he had to put his knees up against  Bella's head and lever it with his arms. 'When we saw the size of the knife we were absolutely shocked. 'The vet said it must have missed her brain by fractions of a centimetre and  otherwise she would have been dead.' The eight inch diver's knife was later handed to the police as evidence after  the surgery. Detectives confirmed they had opened a case of malicious damage to property  following the incident. They were today hunting for the suspected thieves, who ran away after the  attempted break-in. Meanwhile Bella was recovering at home after her ordeal. Mr Swart said: 'She's been lying beside the fire and we've been treating her to  all sorts of nice food, but she seems absolutely fine. 'People keep coming to look at her but she can't understand what all the fuss  is about.' He added: 'We're just so relieved that she's okay. 'She's been with our family for ages and we'd have been devastated to have lost  her. 'I've told the police that if they find the guys who did this we'd like to  leave them alone in a room for a few minutes with Bella, and she'd quickly get  her revenge
