Many of our customers who purchase our used mannequins are buying them for art projects, especially mosaic. Actually the whole reason I am in the mannequin industry is because I was looking for a mannequin to mosaic and put in my garden and I ended up buying 50 mannequins on Craigslist. (That is a whole different story)
We created a board on Pinterest devoted to mosaic art on mannequins and here are some of our favorites.
Let’s start with mannequin heads.
