New Year, New WOrk

-

New work for this great new year ahead of us. Here is a small piece called a sea dragon. He is about 4 inches in length and lives in his purple sea shell. He is sculpted out of polymer clay and then painted with acrylics. He has glass bead eyes. This is a front on shot of him.



Here we have a side view of the little guy. There is a metal loop built into him so that he can hang as an ornament.


This is a work in progress. He isn't sitting on his stump yet. He will be a forest story teller. I had him started before Christmas actually. Initially he was going to be a goblin Santa for a friend but, decided that he wasn't a Santa ofter all. This is my first attempt at making a character with hooved feet.


Here is a side of him. He has a furry tail of sorts and a little mane of hair too. His eyes are glass beads and he is a polymer clay sculpt. Hand painted with a variety of glazes and then antiqued which is my signature look.

So, that is what I have been up to so far. I am planning on doing a few more sea goblins or dragons as I was given a nice little stash of sea shells for Christmas from a friend. Until next time.

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...
