Save the followers

-


Hello my fellow bloggers and artists.  I thought I'd share a few things that are flash back pieces.  I saw that a follower ditched the blog and realized people must not want to read about my teaching exploits, but rather see art stuff.  So, to satisfy that need I decided to share some fun things.  This first one is a drawing I did a while back when I was thinking of doing a series of elemental spirits.  I have come back to this idea again and figured I might as well revisit some past ideas.  I also wanted to get my scanner fired up.  Haven't used it in a while.


The next two are some paper dolls I developed for a paper doll class I taught at Artistic Figures In Cloth and also for my local doll guild.  I want to create a class to propose for next years Artiscape in Columbus.  These are really fun and I get to play with angelina fiber.  They scan kind of interesting too.


This one is articulated which is always fun to play with. So, we shall see what I can come up with.  I am working on getting some current art done.  But, this is the result of cleaning and organizing my studio at home.  It sorely needed it.  Have a great weekend everyone.

I like reading about your classes!!
Elementals are always fun to challenge the muse.
I like the paperdoll with the blue. I am on a paper art doll and art doll trading cards groups. Love to do mixed media every now and then.

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...
