A Snow Day Means A Studio Day

-
Well, technically I am off from my job today.  So, it really isn't a snow day but, it is a great excuse to be in the studio.  I have been playing around with some ideas.  Rethinking some directions a bit and looking at some of my started projects with a critical eye.  The problem for me is I have several running story lines or ideas in my head.  I constantly bounce back and forth between them.  Hence a lack of real focus.  But, the point for today was to take a good look at what I have started and decide upon a plan of action.  I did want to get some work done in the studio today.  I have some help sort of.



Two of my models were eager to help me clean up the work table today.  However an argument quickly ensued.  I am not sure if these two are meant to be together.  I snapped this picture of Mister model wielding one of my clay shaping tools.


But, quick as a whip Miss model turned the tables and snatched the tool from Mister.  He grabbed the closest thing he could find to protect his assets. I was amused at the situation and had to capture it with the camera.  Having a pocket camera handy at all times can come in quite handy.

Well, I need to get back to the studio before these two do serious mischief to themselves and my studio.  Have a great day everyone.

Thanks Karen. They have some mail order cousins on the way. I needed a back up pair. I think I am getting addicted to this photographing toys and dolls thing.

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

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.
