Something a little different

-

So, the visiting dignitaries to Codyland continue this week.  Swami Goat-i-nanda has really brought visitors from far and wide here, of course I am living every second of it.  Pictured above is the Queen of Codyland herself.  Queen Geneva Isabella de Goodoux seems to be bringing something special for Swami to see.  I snapped this publicity picture of her just before she entered the small place where Swami has been holding his impromptu teachings.

She is a apoxy clay head, found hands and cloth body construction.  Her royal garb is assembled from many gifts to the land.  She is more than the royal mother.  Her presence symbolizes the Empress in the Tarot.  She is wise beyond her years, kind when it is needed and stern in other instances.  Like a great mother.  The monsters all behave in her presence.  She has that way with people.  I adore her and am happy she calls Codyland home.  Her husband the emperor is away at the moment and I am not sure when he is due to return to Codyland.  But, when he does I shall let you know.

Enjoy your week.  I have a small band of squirrels to deal with her in my humble cottage.  They have decided to take up residence and don't seem to respect personal boundaries.  Until next time.

Cody,
She's very luxe with all those richly coloured and textured fabrics. Definitely royalty. Awesome.

She is certainly a very impressive regal lady. Not surprised that the Swami draws so many followers from far and near.

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...
