A Finished UFO

-


As promised, here is the finished version of one of my UFOs.  This isn't such a great photo of it but, hopefully you can get the idea.  I call this piece "Spirits of the Grove" and represents the souls of the trees that are released after being chopped down.  I have a great bit of anger towards reckless clearing of our precious trees even in the city where they are needed the most.  Power companies justify it by saying it interferes with their power lines.  So, this is my humble healing piece for the trees that I am sending out into the universe.  I love trees and respect them for what they do for us and the planet.

Below is the pre-finished version to refresh your memory of where it started out it's life.



Don't forget to enter my July giveaway that was listed in the previous post.  Just scroll down and you will find it there.  I hope you all have a smashing weekend coming up.  Stay cool if you can and go forth and create.

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.
