For something a little different...

Happy Valentine to all of you out there.  I thought I would post some Valentine hearts I have made today.  They are a bit different for me.  I am having dinner with three friends and my partner tonight and wanted to give a little something.  These are sculpted from polymer clay and then paitned in my style.  I used some molds I made as well as two commercial molds and then cut them out with a heart shaped cookie cutter.  I am going to wrap them and then let each person pick one. Here is a close up of two of the hearts.  Have a great romantic day. These are a bit different than I have done as far as sculpts go.  A bit of mixed media here for something a little different.  I am taking a little break from the goblins to try some other ideas out.  These are a couple of pieces I call "Ghost in the Machine" and are mixed media. I have a little stash of computer circuit boards and needed to find a use for them.  So, I have been wanting to do a haunted computer theme for a long time.

Finished, Framed and Open Houses

As promised I am posting some pictures of my finished and framed pieces I recently completed.  Here on top is "Wabbit" the animal spirit guide from the rabbit tribe.  He is nestled in his garden of serenity surrounded by a picket fence.  Here is "Wabbit's" story. Ah, Wabbit is of the Rabbit tribe of animal spirits.   He is coming or called into your life to help you face your biggest fears.   So, if you feel inspired to take Wabbit home you are in need of some healing of the fearful kind.   What is your greatest fear or fears.   The one thing about fear is that it paralyses us from moving forward in our lives.   Rabbit energy calls this into play and helps us face the deepest darkest fears that are holding us back from the life we want.   Here Wabbit is protected by his picket fence in his garden of serenity.   Let him help you find your garden of serenity.   It will not be an easy task as fear is a powerful force to reckon with.   In one of his paws he is h

New Stuff...

I have been working on some new things for the studio open house coming next weekend.  I created a few wall pieces and still need to frame them.  This first one is "House Spirit #1".  He is the first one I made and is polymer clay over a canvas panel.  I used tissue paper and heavy acrylic gel medium to create the leafy texture.  I then painted and antiqued him.  He will be framed in a wide bamboo frame. This is "house Spirit #2".  He was created using the same technique.  I will frame him in the same type of frame. This is called the "Green Buddha" and is made as the house spirits above.  One thing I did not mention is that the panels were recycled failed paintings.  So, the Buddha lives up to the green theme of sorts.  I will frame him in a similar bamboo frame. Yes, I got them at a great price from a local Home Emporium store.  They were originally bamboo bowls.  Now they're frames.  I will get pictures of them on the wall once I get them framed. Ye
