Diabolical Diatoms

-


Happy Halloween out there in blog land. To all my artists friends and admirers of art and fun, BOO! Hope your day is filled with treats and a trick or two. Well, I would like to introduce you to a new line of crazy creatures I call Diabolical Diatoms.. These are the nasty guys that reek havoc in your body sometimes. Depending of course if are unfortunate enough to ingest any of them. They are polymer clay over a wooden armature. These are made as ornaments. I am planning a few more detailed versions of them as larger sculpts.. Above is number four. He is the tallest of the four I have made so far and stands around four inches. Sorry about the photography. I did these in a hurry again.


Here is number three. I haven't given them names yet. But hope to after I settle down from Halloween stuff.


Number two looking really innocent.


Finally number one. is wondering why I took his picture. There you have it. Hope you enjoy these new guys.

On another note, I realized that I am getting really close to having 75 followers. So, hopefully if I can get just five more in the next week or so, I plan on having a give away to celebrate the blogging milestone for me. So, tell your friends to check out my place and see if they will join in on the fun. I will keep you all posted. In the meantime, have a spooktacular Halloween everyone.

Wow, Cody - wild and weird! I can see you are having fun with the monsters. I got very involved with making witches this year - they were fun to do and most involved bent and twisted sticks for arms and legs and uphostry samples for bodies. Love making something out of nothing!
Best, Betsy Orlando

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.
