The Cosmic Clown

-

Wow!  That didn't take long.  So let me introduce you to the Cosmic Clown.  He is the one that like to play tasteful jokes on you as you travel your spiritual journey.  Of course I don't think the jokes are always in good taste.  But, he says that's a matter of opinion.  Usually his which ruffles me sometimes.  He is a poly clay head and attached to a funky piece of willow branch.  He has an assortment of fibers and beads I received in a door prize bag at our last meeting with the Indy doll group this past May.  I attached glass marbles as his little magical orbs along the bottom of the branch.


This one was a great deal of fun to make.  These pieces aren't all that sophisticated but, they make great blank canvas' to play around with.  I thinking of offering this as a class.  Anyway I hope you like both posts today.  Now I need to go and declutter my worktable a bit so I can start some new things.  Until next time love to you all and happy creating.

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

ADO Art Dolls Only Elements Challenge - Water

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.
