Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2011 PREVIEW

By
One of our latest projects: Our Victoria's Secret PINK dog mirror balls make their appearance in this youtube video at 4:19 in.

We made a total of 8 dogs at 3ft long each. We then scored the internet for pink glass tile suppliers and cleaned up everything out there. Yes folks, there are NO MORE pink glass tiles available.

This was a great and challenging project to say the least, as there were the usual delays that happen when you take on not only a custom project, but a prestigious one as well. Everything had to be spot on to Victoria's Secret Pink Brand. The usual multitude of emails, texts and conference calls between our shop, the local production studio and the VS France office took place. Once we were off and running with our sculptures, we needed to find the pink glass mirror tiles and as mentioned above, there were not many out there and all needed to be special ordered and cut to our specifications.
Those tiles then needed to be overnighted, or we would not be able to cover our sculptures in time.
(can anyone say $3,000 in overnight shipping fees?.... those boxes were HEAVY)
The sculptures took 3 days to complete. It took another 6 very long days to completely cover each dog in mirror tile and as we neared the end of the very last dog, there were four of us who each took on one leg of the dog in order to finish up this past Sunday night (Nov 6) at 10:00pm in order to delivery them for instal the next day Monday Nov 7th. - The VSFashion show taped on the 9th, and the rest is Fashion History!

Beard styles to chose from

By
So this is where you guys get to have some fun. Remember, the style with the most votes wins and I will hold on to that style for at least 1 month (maybe more, if I like it). But remember the rule is that you have to donate directly to Give Kids the World . They have a several easy ways for you to do so. One last thing... I am a publicly seen person in several places. I am also a member of my town's school board of education so, I WILL have to "sport" the look that gets the highest vote. To register your vote, simply make a comment on this post and the tally will be there for all to see. Now go. Go and donate whatever you can. As little or as much and don't forget to spread the word to all your social network friends! Thanks. Giovanni Calabrese This is what I used to look like before the beard! Man, I need a shave!

Top Secret Project - Episode 2

By
If you were to Google "Custom Creations", you would find that we excel in oversized props, 3D styrofoam sculpture and black light miniature golf to name but a few of our abilities. (BTW, we also have the ability to walk through walls and doors...shhhhhhh!) Anyway, when this TOP SECRET internationally known company Googled us, they knew they were knocking on the right doors (it was almost as if they knew we were about to walk through them. Hmmmmmmm) Day 2: We ran a hard day and made some serious progress with this and other projects going on at the same time! Maritza is tied up in the office (she was a bad girl) and I took over the camera...
