ART COLLECTION:

The Austin Crosthwaite Collection is a series of
exclusive hand crafted piggy banks. Each piece is
unique and there is no other like it in existence. Each
piggy bank has a delicate hand painted piece of art on
the side which is beautiful and inspiring to look at.
Many of the pieces of art have inspiration from many
countries across the world. This is also indicated by
the use of the currency decorations from many of the
popular countries.
How it was created:

The art is hand made from recycled paper and organic paste which is then sculpted into the shape of a pig. Each pig has distinguished
features which are added such a bulbous eyes, varying nose shapes, eyebrows, ears and even wings. The pigs are allowed to dry for several
days before being primed for painting. The art is delicately hand painted on the side with water-proof acrylic paints
. Each piggy is uniquely
named with its own tag. The name is also painted on the piggy in braille for the blind
. Once the painting is completely dry, the pigs are adorned
with extra decorations unique to their character. Decorations can include coins, buttons, hats, wings or even hair.
