Works in progress....

Howdy out there in bloggoland.  I am popping in to share some WIP's with ya'll.  Spending today at home in the studio home base trying to get two last minute pieces finished for the Essex Studios open house this weekend.  I will be hanging these puppies up just minutes before the opening.  But, hey that's how most of work some days anyway right?  The first offering is one I am calling, warning long title sequence here. "Wait till they get a load of me or Even Cowpokes get the Blues".  Told ya it was a long one.  He is a tongue in cheek tribute to cross dressing cowboys of sorts.




The next sneak peak is one I am calling "Keeper of the Ancient Knowledge".  Oh, and these pieces are not in their final poses or colors yet.  I have applied layers of decorative papers and fabrics with a ultra heavy matte medium.  They are both polymer clay heads and hands.  Then they were built over a wire and wood armature.  This was then covered in layered cotton batting and fabric.  The Keeper still needs her hair and hair ornament plus the cool thing that she will be holding.  Don't worry I will get pictures of these two once they are done and hanging up on the walls at the studio.  Plus, I will try and get pictures of the show too.  I have two studio mates that will be showing as well.  We three all have new work to show this time around.  Well, that's it for now.  Have a good one out there.

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.
