Angels among us...

-


I have finished my first two angels in my on going angel series. Not sure how many I will do, but here are two at least. This first one is titled "Angel of Decay" and is around 6x12 inches. I apologise for the not so great photos of these guys. They were taken rather hastily so I could post them tonight. The Tony awards are on and I just have to be planted in front of the boob tube for that show.

This angel is called "Angel of Twilight" and is the same size as the first one. I used a variety of painting techniques in addition to the adding of fabric to the foundation sculpt to hide the naughty bits a little. Also, this adds a bit of movement to the piece as well. I have to admit that these aren't really what I originally intended. My idea was to make them a little more in line with my fantasy sculpts. But, that is for the next few. These were also warm up pieces for the sculpts I am going to make for the Secret Artworks show this year. That's coming up this fall.

So, have a fabulous week my friends. I am planning on making some pieces for the GLBT pride week here in Cincinnati. I will post those when I have them completed.

Hi Marzel, they both had prominent members in the work in progress stage. I covered it up a bit with fabric. You can still see the impression on the brown one. Thanks for asking and looking at the art.

MarZel, I didn't take it that way. Of course they didn't end up nude though. Thank you for commenting.

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...

ADO Art Dolls Only Elements Challenge - Water

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.

Second Chocolat Show Piece

Happy Tuesday out there to all my artist friends and beyond.  I wanted to post a quickie picture of the second piece for the upcoming Chocolat show at the Prairie Gallery here in Cincinnati.  He is the Cocoa Goblin.  As you can see he is accompanied by some little marshmallow critters.  He's polymer clay over a paper mache armature with glass marble eyes.  He is sitting in a cup my partners mom gave me since she thinks I collect cow stuff still.  She is a wonderful mom.  So, anyway hope you find him amusing.  Now I can focus on getting a few last minute pieces for Winterfair and the Essex Studios open house both coming up rapidly.  These are the last three shows of the year.  Then I can concentrate on my online class so my students have lots to do and learn.  Cheers to you all and Happy Turkey day to those in the USA.
