Sunday Sunny Sunday

-


Not exactly sunny, todays offerings are of a piece I was able to finish yesterday.  He is called Sandman.  You may recall in an earlier post the twig figure that had some batting wrapped around his body and a wire for arms?  So, here he is finished.  His head and hands are polymer clay.  I embellished him with some bone beads and a leather sack full of his special sand.  This fella is ready to put you to sleep even if you don't think you can get there.  Just try to stop him.  He measures about 16 inches tall.  His body is a fantail willow twig wrapped with cotton batting and hand dyed fabric.  His cloak is purchased cotton and a hand dyed cheesecloth scarf.


Here is his closeup.  He has fresh water pearl eyes.  You will notice that thee are no pupils.  He is a blind sandman.  He uses the power of his psychic third eye to find his victims, I mean patients.  He floats poised to fling the sands of sleep into your eyes.  He does actually hang on the wall.  I have made a hand hammered copper loop to hang him from.  I am off to work some more.  I have a ton of projects in various stages of completion.  Thank you to all my followers out there.  I appreciate all of your feedback and time you take to visit my humble art place.  One more reminder about my give away.  You can go here to enter.  Cio.

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...
