I recently finished yet another foray into the world of Youtube tutorials... this time around I'm making myself a fake poisoned peach prop (Like the one that Sarah bites that sends her to Jareth's ball).
This was a fun photoshoot to do... I just had to gather a bunk of my most vintage looking junk and pile it all up in the middle of my living room, throw on some fake cobwebs, and I had a suitable recreation of the Junk Yard. I slightly regret not adding a spray of glitter, every set in Labyrinth seems to have been coated with the stuff, but I knew if I added even a tiny bit of glitter I'd be cleaning it off my floors for years to come.

So a fun little update to the quest to identify and collect all of Sarah's books... I saw this interview clip from the Making of Labyrinth documentary and thought that pop-up booked seemed familiar... and it turns out it's a copy of Brian Froud's Goblins!
Pretty neat, especially considering that Brian Froud once mentioned in a commentary track that they forgot to include one of his books among Sarah's collection. Based on this it seems like there was at least one of his books on set, it just might not've been visible on camera in the final film.

Great find and detective work.

Ya'll I'm so excited, someone let me know on Instagram that Jareth's crop handle has gone up for auction at Sotheby's. Just look at these glorious high-res images of the crop!! I can't believe how much detail was put into this crop, only for it to go unseen by the majority of fans for it's existence.
Link to the auction is here:

1986, screen-used, sterling silver handle with crystal orb, engraved with goblin and sea creature motif. 8 x 2 x 2 in (20.3 x 5.1 x 5.1 cm), with a circumference of 5.5 in (14 cm).

Ha yup I'm definitely thinking about it. I was pretty satisfied with my last attempt but after seeing all this sumptuous detail... how could I not give it another go? I'm currently chatting with a friend-of-a-friend who does 3D modelling professionally who is also a Bowie fan who may be interested in modelling the handle as part of a commission.... buuuuut not gonna there's also a devil on my shoulder going "I bet that'd be really satisfying to try and sculpt yourself...". So we'll see what wins out eventually. I'm still wrapping up my Miss Piggy replica so I wouldn't be starting this particular project for a while I think.
I totally see this both ways. The absolute joy of sculpting this would be worth the ride...... but, the detail already shown is more than enough to model this piece for those that do this daily. And yes, I am totally going to jump on this crazy train. Thank you so much for posting this beautiful addition to the thread.
