Also, most of the volunteers allowed themselves to be cast with the understanding that it would be for a health-awareness display. Some might be seriously annoyed if Cheryl-Ann sold a cast of them to a private collector. Of course, for the most part, Cheryl-Ann can't know who would be annoyed and who wouldn't, so it's probably safer for her not to sell casts made from the volunteers that she doesn't know personally. Having said all that, I know that Cheryl-Ann is quite willing to do new casts for sale. How 'bout a cast of yourself? Or of a friend who's willing to act as a model? Cheryl-Ann can probably dig up a model herself if you'd prefer. Right now Cheryl-Ann is heading to Hamilton for a few weeks of lectures and presentations organized in conjunction with the current exhibition, but I'll make sure she sees this message.

There are no sale details on the site, but given that they are casts I'm relatively certain something could be arranged. Here are the artist's contact details from the website: Cheryl-Ann Webster Beautiful Women Project 120 Oak Street, Gananoque, Ontario K7G 2R4 Canada Tel: 613-382-5759 Cell: 613-220-8604 Email: cherylann at beautifulwomenproject dot com I’ve heard of Mikael Chimeakin.

As weird as it sounds, my art collection is mostly of partial faces, bodies, and hands. (No, not the real thing.... no really!?!) An artist named Sean Connor, Mikael Chimeakin, and a few unknowns... I want at least one..... Are duplicates of any of these available to purchase? As weird as it sounds, my art collection is mostly of partial faces, bodies, and hands.
