Made by Jon Keller
The Penny Farthing . The bike is wood and paper with an acrylic polymer clay seat . For the tires I painted some white braid black and then glued it around the paper rims. The figure is paper mache on a wood , wire and foil frame . The hat is acrylic polymer clay . For the pattern on his suit I drew a plaid design on a few sheets of 8” x 11″ inch paper ( using Prismacolor pencils ) , then I “wallpapered” it on to him . His cane is a bent piece of a knitting needle . The buttons are leather discs , cut with a hole puncher .

Jon Keller,
Wow! What a way to start my day. Your sculpture made me smile. Thank you for letting us in on some of your “How you did its “. The spokes on your front wheel are especially interesting. Such a clever piece. Thanks for sharing.

What a great sculpture, Jon. I love all the information you shared about how you made it, and the “wallpapered” suit idea made me smile. It worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing your work with us. 🙂
