New Art Sort of

-
Hello my fellow artists and followers.  Happy New year to you all and hope this one will bring some great things your war.  I have been busy the last five weeks with my online class and am just about to wrap it up.  I had a blast creating video tutorials for it and man was that a big learning curve.  My students were all great and hope they liked the class.  Below is the final project for the class.  There were a number of smaller projects that lead up to this one.  This is totality or the Alchemy of ME doll.  Below is the one I made along with the class so that the techniques were fresh.



Here is a close up of my Alchemy Me.  I am well on my way to making this upcoming year the best ever.  I have set myself some goals that are at least achievable.  I don't like using resolutions as that always makes me feel like I have been bad.  Goals offer a more positive outlook on making changes or improvements in my life.  Well, until next, thank you for being an important part of my creative life.  Thank you for your friendship and encouragement over the past year and beyond.  I truly do treasure that in my life.

Hey Cat, one of my goals for this year was to try and host two on line classes this year. I will be rerunning Alchemy this summer and am hoping to have a Creating your own Creature class ready in another month.

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...
