Faux Unicorn Taxidermy

Hello! This is my first Instructable! I hope you find it helpful. I'm not quite finished this piece of work yet, so it might be a while until you see the finished product.

What you will need:
1 x Foam taxidermy of a Fawn. (I suggest van dyke's taxidermy.)
Air dry clay
Pair of glass taxidermy eyes
White acrylic paint
White flocking powder
White tibetan lamb hair.


I ordered my foam taxidermy from Van Dykes online store for $54. The glass eyes cost $7.50

Step 1 Air Dry Clay Face

Step One: Covering the head with Air-Dry Clay

Since you cannot bake the foam taxidermy (I assume this would cause a fire hazard. I wouldn't know, i've never tried it) I used Air Dry clay by Fimo. I had never used it before, and found that if i did not wet the clay enough, it would dry with huge cracks in it. You can see in the image that I have started sculpting the head to look more like a horses. (Big nostrils are a big difference between fawn and foal)
