David Everett of Chicken Lips

“Chicken Lips is all about putting a smile on your face!” says David Everett of his hand-sculpted creations running the gamut from barnyard animals to seasonal characters like pumpkins, skeletons, Santas, and snowmen. A southern California native, David says “as far back as I can remember, I always had to have my hands in something – whether it was Play-Doh or finger paints – I always had the need to create. Over the years I’ve worked in many different mediums, including watercolors, acrylics, quilt making and soft sculpture. It wasn’t until I started working in papier-maché that I really felt “at home!” Using his background as a professional Graphic Designer, David’s creations are inspired by vintage toys and traditional folk art images of the past, adding his own unique and twisted touch on everything he creates!   David works primarily in the clay medium, sculpting each and every creation by hand. Each sculpted piece is given a primer coat of gesso, painted in acrylics, sealed, details are added in oil paints, more sealing, staining, and then sealed again. “It’s a lot of work, but each piece has its own individual character – one that will hopefully bring a smile to your face for many years to come.”
