The Ornament Exchange

-


Well, with much pulling of hair and gnashing of teeth, I finally completed my ornament for this years exchange.  It was for the RiveCity Figurative Artists Guild that I am a member of and our Christmas Brunch tradition  This years theme was to be based on some art form or ism.  Our luncheon is being held in the Cincinnati Art Museums cafe this year.  So, I thought this theme was appropriate.  At the last minute I finally decided to honor our ancient traditions and do a piece loosely based on a variety of petroglyphs.  It is kind of simple but, I really like the way it turned out.  It is very totem like in the way it looks.

It's been a busy fall season and I have been one of the lucky artists who have sold a nice amount of work.  At both of the Essex Studios art walks I received a lot of great feedback.  Nothing inspires an artist more than that.  So, I am really inspired to get going on some new things and yes, even a new class is on the horizon.  Have a great weekend everyone.  Until next time in Codyland.

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...
