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 holding the key to conquering your fears.  Which one will you choose?   Wabbit is willing to guide you through it



Now we have "House Spirit #1" in his bamboo frame constructed of a bamboo bowl.


This is "House Spirit#2" in his bamboo frame.


Finally, we have the "Green Buddha" in his smart bamboo bowl frame.  I think these turned out rather well and received a lot of nice comments at the first night of our studio open house.

This weekend the Essex Studios in Cincinnati Ohio are having their winter studio open house and art walk.  Attendance was rather light this time but, with the recent weather and of course the economic climate may have a lot to do with that.  We, the artists, are hoping for a better turn out tonight.  I would hope people would just come out for a nice evening of art, conversation and wine even if they can't buy art.  It is nice to get feedback on one's work.  I am hopeful that tonight will be better.

Projects a plenty

Hello out there on this rather balmy Sunday afternoon. I hope you all are having a nice weekend. I thought I'd post the three projects I have been working on for the past three months. I have been making some books for an upcoming show at Kennedy Heights Art Center here in Cincinnati. The show is called "Contents Unknown" and the premise is books in containers. Now the idea was to conceal a book in a container. But, many of us in the show have taken liberties on this. Some of mine aren't obvious when you look at the box. But, since we have to display the contents as well it will be obvious what the box held. This first set of images is for a book called "Memories in Blue". This book is a sort of picture/diary of the pivotal moments in my life that made me who I am. Some good and some not so good. I wanted to give an honest yet abbreviated snapshot of my life and those moments that shaped me. I created the images as cyanotypes on cotton fabric. S

OK , without further ado here is my entry for the ADO Art Dolls Only challenge The Elements . Please go visit the ADO blog to see some of the great entries for this challenge. Introducing for the first time anywhere, the Mergoblin . He is the first of his kind to grace my blog and studio. Several of his relatives are planning a visit real soon. He is a polymer clay one of a kind sculpt. He has a recycled head that was made for an earlier project. The eyes are fresh water pearls that have been dyed. His tail is made from a type of willow tree. I know the photography isn't spectacular but, I wanted to get him up on the blog in time. Here is a closer view of his head area. This is the other side view. He is mounted on a wooden base suspended by a wire inserted into a brass tube. I painted the brass tube blue to match the stand. This was a fun challenge that got me to think outside my usual box. Hope you enjoy him.
