I recently posted on Etsy this WO-MANNEQUIN that I made out of paper bags and wallpaper paste using the paper mache' technique. It requires much patience. Since I can only post 5 photos on Etsy, I am posting the rest of the pics here, showing how the WO-MANNEQUIN can be used to display necklaces, earrings, hats, scarves and t-shirts. You can display a LONG earring from either profile, It accommodates hook earrings only. This WO-MANNEQUIN is awesome and is great for displaying everything!

Taking good photos is hard. Do photos really make a difference? I think so. I am learning as I go along. Anyway, I am at a quandry as to whether I should model my own PEACEs or only shoot them on my Mannequins. So far I have preferred the photos with my PEACEs on Mannequins. Here, I am posting the REJECTED-PHOTOS. If you notice the photo feature me as the "model". Ugghhhh!!! Let me make this clear, I don't expect anyone to buy my PEACEs based on these photos.
