Mannequin required by student

Sharron_W

Hi, my daughter is looking to "recycle" a female mannequin to anybody that would like to donate one to her. Weve tried usual routes eg department stores/supermarkets etc.. tho no positive outcome yet.She has a place at New Designers London very soon and needs the mannequin to display her body adornment and paper jewellery plus other pieces.Any ideas would be gratefully accepted. Thanx. (im a newby so sorry for rambling on):)

Try your local Freecycle or similar, there have been some advertised on my local one at times, or jumble/car boots sales.

Does it have to be a three-dimensional mannequin? Would a cardboard cut out do? Or perhaps a wire frame? Or a sculpture? If you can't come up with a mannequin, perhaps she needs to think laterally to come up with an alternative.

She could make a duct tape mannequin or see if any previous students are selling theirs off.
