Mystery Mondays part 3

-


It's time once again for mystery Mondays.  Here are a few of the heads I have sculpted this past weekend.  These are experiments for a few new pieces I am hoping to get finished for some of the fall shows I am going to be participating in this year.  The above is a shot of the four I was able to make.  These heads are made from a blend of super sculpey and sculpey III polymer clay.  The green ones have a sea shell embedded on the top back of the scull.  I was looking for a more alien kind of look for them.




Jere is a close up of the green heads.  It will be a surprise as to who or what they will be come.  I know, but I am not telling yet.  It'll be a mystery befitting a Monday.



This is a bad photo of the cubic head.  In revisiting my past I did a series of three pieces I called block heads.  So, this is in homage to them.  As a matter of fact, I am going to recycle the original three a bit.  It is funny how we can see what we would have done differently on something we have made.  At least I have a chance to do that this time.




Last but certainly not least is the yellow head with a bit of Mr. Blockhead trying to get in on the shot.  The yellow head is feminine but, has an extended skull.  Sorry you can't really see that here.  Well, there you have it.  My mystery Monday offerings for this week.  I hope I can continue the trend for a while.  Now I need to make hands to match the heads.  In addition to these, I still have the heads from the last installment to make hands for.  Have a fabulous week my artsy friends.

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

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.
