 If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I really, really love beautiful prosthetic limbs. The Alternative Limb Project is a bespoke prosthesis manufacturer willing to work with the customer to provide anything from incredibly realistic custom-scultped and painted pieces  (their “realistic” line) to outrageous flights of fancy (their “alternative” line) .

Crystallized Leg, made for Victoria Modesta’s Ice Queen performance in the 2012 Paralympic opening ceremony.
