Frresh Start Friday

-

Don't you just love those cutesy titles.  Hey I am having a fun day in the home studio.  I've been painting and glazing heads that I sculpted earlier.  Hopefully, I will get some more sculpting in as well.  Anyway, here is the beginnings of a new wall piece I am working on.  I am not quite sure who he'll be yet.  He seems to think he should be dispensing sand to get people to fall asleep.  Boy could I use some of that stuff.  But, the identity usually doesn't show up until I get hands and the body covering on.  So, who knows who will show up.  Oh, yes I know the picture is less than desirable quality.  It just adds to the mystery.  Hopefully the finished piece will be better photographed.  Well, my wonderful friends out there, have a great weekend.  With any luck, I'll be posting some more fun stuff.  Until then, Cio!

Even when I have a preconceieved notion about what I want to make, my sculptures dictate exactly what they will look like and sometimes who they are. Truely, we are giving birth to spirits!!

I take my dolls to my bedroom and look at them when I first wake up. That dreamy time -- first light -- is when they tell me what I've done wrong and what I need to add. Your work's very inspiring!

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.

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...
