Rare look

-

To comply with my self imposed posting of at least once a week, I have a rare treat.  Well, hopefully you will find it interesting.  I have scanned in some little doodle sketches I made at lunch yesterday.  I was waiting there and had a few blasts of inspiration.  What to do, no paper or pen.  Then I remembered I had a Sharpie marker in my coat pocket.  The waitress had left me a stack of napkins.  So, I made my own sketch paper with napkins at hand.  The above fella is an idea I am working on for a series of rabbit themed pieces.  Of course it will have my spin on it.  I am thinking of rabbit goblins or something along those lines.  I am not sure yet.  As with many of my fellow artists out there I have Alice in Wonderland fever.  Rabbits are one of those animals that I find fun to play around with artistically.



The next sketch above is an idea I had for doing a pickle themed goblin.  I was eating pickles the other day and for some reason I thought one in particular just had that shape that spoke to me.  I wondered what a pickle goblin would look like.  Don't you all think about those things when you eat food?


This guy is a very preliminary idea for a piece I need to make for the joint meeting between my local guild and the doll makers in the Circle City group.  This years theme is a doll or whatever based on an herb.  We have been meeting at this amazing herb farm in Indiana the last couple of years.  So, I have chosen Milk Thistle as my herb.  He is going to be a grumpy little guy for sure.

Well, I think I am finally heading out of my creative slump.  I need to get busy as I have a lot on my plate in the next few months.  The snow has been a major downer for me.  I don't drive so relying on the buses and walking is a b#@&@ for me.  But, I will survive as the song goes.  Have a great week y'all.

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.

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...
