Project Finished

-

Merry holidays out there to all my friends and followers.  I hope you are enjoying this day after the great end of all that is.  I have finally finished a big Christmas project.  The six dolls representing five of my favorite people/friends and partner.  They were created for celebrating the thirty plus years of friendship with these guys.  It was a fun project.  These dolls are all cloth except for the eyes. The cloths are a combination of shirts given by each person to me to make cloths that had a piece of each of us in them.  Very appropriate for this new age of coming together.


This is Randy and Brett.


Myself and my partner Buck.


Here we have Mark and Dan.

This was such a fun project all be it a bit tiring trying to get six of everything done.  I remember why I never wanted to be a production artist. Tonight is the big reveal to my friends and the alter egos going to their new homes.  We are all having a nice dinner together and a walk to look at Christmas lights.

Have a great weekend and holiday season one and all.  In case I am unable to post until next year, see ya on the other side.  Love you all and thank you so much for following along on the Codyland Express.  Tally ho!

Love these dolls and love the idea of your making for all of your dear friends and your partner! They are so precious and warm and loving as I am sure their alter egos are. What a very special piece of art and wonderful gift to all.

Happy Holidays!

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.

Saying Thank You in a Giveaway

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...
