| My "Bungled Jungle" collection |
| The Bungled Jungle is "Earth's exclusive dealer in other worldly creatures" I first met Pat and Suzanne, the creators of the Bungled Jungle about 14 or so years ago and I bought a couple of pre historic looking fish heads from them to give to people as gifts. I would see them at different art shows that came through Denver from time to time and didn't really get interested in collecting their stuff until I moved to Ft Collins Colorado where they lived and made their creatures. I saw a really large rhino head and thought that some day I would own one. I had purchased several smaller pieces from them over the years but it wasn't until about 5 years ago that I went to their open house and found my first big piece...the "Sabre tooth woolly rhino". Ever since then I've bought a big piece from them almost every year ,until the African art addiction started eating into my budget and I started running out of wall space! Pat and Suzanne are great people and I know that their creatures are a little strange, but you have to know them I think to fully appreciate their art! Here is a link to their web site, it lists the upcoming shows they will be at around the country. |

| WHAT IS THIS??? The Bungled Jungle is the collaborative effort of two silly people, Pat and Suzanne. Each sculpture is an original creation--no molds are used -- everything is one of a kind. The process starts with a metal/wood or plastic armature that is then built up with layers of rubber, plastic, metal, plaster and clay...each piece will have approximately 13 separate materials interlayered. It takes between 2 weeks to a month or more of daily dabbling to complete each sculpture--depending on its size and complexity. Not only are these monsters/beasts and varmints lovely to look at, they also come with COMPLETE DENTAL COVERAGE.... AND can be used as personal flotation devices in case of flooding.
