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.  Well, these ghosts aren't what I would call sinister.  I have been so intent on making my goblins more friendly than the traditional that I have carried that idea over for this pair.  I am wanting to do something a bit more dark but, that will wait for another piece.  

These are made out of polymer clay, decorative papers, computer circuit boards and stretched canvas.  They measure a wee 5x7 inches.  I have given them my usual paint and stain process.  I guess that is my signature of sorts as that is the look I really like.  Hope you find these guys a bit of a departure and interesting.

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.

Saying Thank You in a Giveaway

You aren't seeing things.  I have posted this piece before.  But, this time is different.  I wanted to celebrate two things in my little life.  First is hitting 140 followers here on this blog.  I am so honored by the loyal friends who come and visit me and my art goings on.  Thank you for that support and encouragement.  Secondly, a good friend and artist I know really inspired me with her own unique spiritual perspectives on giving.  So, MarZel this is to honor your wonderful contribution to my world as well. The above piece is only about 6x8 inches in size.  But, it's spirit is mighty.  At least to me it is.  The intention while creating it was to honor the trees that are constantly sacrificed sometimes without thought or honor for humankind.  In many cases without a thought, just discarded because they are in our way.  The trees are our guardians, give us food, shelter, many things we use i...
