Phantom Faces...

-


Well, I am seeing phantoms again.  Here I have uploaded two of my recent works created on fabric using colored pencils and Pitt artist pens.  In case you are wondering, I did find the pattern in the fabric and used that as the foundation for the faces.  The Pitt pens are used to do the black areas and I use a brown one to add darker areas too.  This first piece I call Hair Fire.

This one is inspired by two faces that I saw.  I call it dual personality as it represents our common self and the idea of a higher or more spiritual side.  The fabric was some hand dyed I received in a swap a number of years back.  I wish I could remember whose fabric this is as it is really beautiful.  

On a related note, this process is giving me more of a push to do some drawing again.  I find this type of work a little bit of cheating since I already have the beginning of it provided for me.  I just go in and fill in the blanks and add the details.  But, seeing my doodles again made me realize how much I miss the process of drawing.  It is funny how drawing, sculpting and painting all have very blissful feelings for me.  It is a good thing.

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...
