-~- The Fictitious History of Guin -~-
Guin is a great thespian (a fancy word for “actor” ;)) and as such is a brilliant master of disguise! He loves flattery (but not too much, as he is easily embarrassed and prone to blushing), hamming it up for the camera, and pistachios. But most of all, he loves bringing a smile, a laugh, a chuckle, a snortle (it’s a bit of a snort/chuckle combination, you know the one), or any other expression of merriment to his beloved audience and everyone else he meets. After all, that is why he got into show business in the first place ;) So please, sit back and enjoy the unfolding of Guin’s journey to international stardom and pick up a piece of memorabilia for yourself, or someone you care about!

Technique: Guin has been skillfully hand-sculpted with techniques that have taken years of patience, passion and dedication to refine. I use only my hands, a flexible blade, and a few pokey sticks, for detailing. No molds were used in Guin’s creation.
Size: Christmas Guin stands approximately 2 inches tall!
♫Baby, it’s cold outside♫…So warm your heart, or the heart of another with Christmas Guin!
Brimming with Christmas cheer, Guin has been hand sculpted from polymer clay – NO MOLDS USED – and given a coat of varnish for an added sheen. He stands approximately 2-1/8 inches from the ground to the top of his hat; has a wing span of a scootch over 1-3/4 inches and weighs approximately 22 grams, or 0.8 ounces, for all you non-metric types out there;)
Though it does not typically photograph well, the hat is made from pre-glittered clay. The glitter will NOT flake off should you touch it; so have no fear of Guin losing some of his snappiness over time, or you looking like you just man-handled a pixie. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
Is your mantle, curio, or desk too cluttered? No problem! Simply tie a string through his hat and hang him on your Christmas tree!
Have his tummy personalized at no extra charge! Especially perfect for a commemorative “Baby’s 1st Christmas” ornament! Personalization will be hand-painted.
NOTE: On the bottom of every sculpture that I create, you will find that I have hand-carved my initials and the year in which I completed that particular piece. The count for each piece (if it is to be recreated) will start over from #1 each year (it’s easier for me to keep track of that way).

After all, he has a slew of glowing recommendations and takes a fantastic head shot ;)

Name: Pengula (though it’s really just Guin all dressed up for Halloween!)
Technique: Pengula has been skillfully hand-sculpted with techniques that have taken years of patience, passion and dedication to refine. I use only my hands, a flexible blade, and a few pokey sticks, for detailing. Absolutely NO molds were used in Guin’s creation, so no matter how similar, every rendition of Guin is as special and unique as you are!
Height: Approximately 1-3/4 inches tall, with a cape span of 2-1/8 inches
Weight: Approximately 21g, or 0.7oz
Colors: Guin himself is always black, with a white tummy that can be personalized (click the link to get your personalized Pengula!: ) and custom, made by me, beak color. As “Pengula”, Guin’s snazzy black cape has a touch of silver pigment worked into it, to give it a certain “je ne sais quoi”. His cape’s lining comes in a variety of colors, though he is most commonly seen sporting one with a classic glittery red lining. Since he loves the camera and the camera loves him, Guin, I mean Pengula, happily posed for a few photos wearing his favorite capes, which are posted above.
A Brief History & Detailed Description
“Pengula”, was originally referred to simply as “the Dracula Penguin” and he was the first Halloween penguin in the PenGuin Kisses© line to ever be conceived and created. He was first made available to the public in September of 2010 and originally only offered with Fimo Soft Glitter Red #202 lined capes. Pengula was not offered online until mid-August of 2011.
31 Pengulas were made and sold in 2010, and only two of which were created with capes that had Fimo Soft Glitter Purple #602 lining. Also, only the first 9 (including the original prototype) were created with a limited edition, hand-braided wire closure at the base of the neck. Another has not been created. The current editions’ closure is made from a beautiful, hand-braided, metallic gold, decorative thread.
NOTE: On the bottom of every sculpture that I create, you will find that I have hand-carved my initials and the year in which I completed that particular piece. The count for each piece (if it is to be recreated) will start over from #1 each year (it’s easier for me to keep track of that way).

Special Details: Being as fussy about my work as I am, I studied YouTube videos on tying turbans, just to get it as close to the “real deal” as possible. Also, not only is the turban as authentically tied as you can tie clay, but the color is completely custom made! You really do have to see him up-close and personal to really be able to appreciate all of the details! Let’s not forget about that GORGEOUS deep crimson crystal (or whatever other brilliant color of Swarovski you choose)!
