The first Gooney Goblin Bird spotted in Cincinnati...

-


Well, as I promised you all earlier this week, here is the first Gooney Goblin bird. He was inspired by one of the heads that I made from a recycled goblin head bead. He is polymer clay and stand about six inches high. I retained the original color scheme of the head of red and green. I did add a bit of bright blue to get rid of the Christmasesque coloring. This first shot is an angled profile. Sorry, I am still having shaky hand syndrome.

Here is a rear shot showing off his tail.


This is a side mug shot of him. He will have five other companions at some point. He is mounted on a simple wooden base. I hope to get a few more sculpted this weekend. My summer vacation is coming to a rapid close and I do not want to return to work at the art store. I just want to keep sculpting. I am having so much fun. Later y'all.

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...

My Brick for Breast Cancer Entry

I wanted to make sure I posted this weekend. So, here is my finished entry into this years "Bricks for Breast Cancer" charity called "Bricks Along the Journey". The premise as mentioned in an earlier post is to alter a brick and make it into an art piece. There must be a pink ribbon on it somewhere. So, above is my entry for this year. It is titled, "Taming the Monster" and the idea is that cancer is the big MONSTER, and the woman atop his head is taming him or in my eyes surviving. I have done this charity four times now and really enjoy it. I hope it goes for a bunch of money as it all goes to the cause. I am still trying to finish a few more projects so I can move on to other things. Will post those when I finish them up. Have a good one all.

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.
