Time to Start the Conversation

-


This week I have taken it upon myself to begin the planning and start working on the characters and props for some upcoming photo projects.  The cousins are fitting in nicely.  I shot this picture of our morning conversation over a cup of coffee.  The cousins lament not being able to have coffee.  They are very curious about all this human stuff.  Even though they look like humans, being made of plastic has it's disadvantages too.

We were discussing what sorts of stories we could tell for them to play the roles. I told them that there are other plastic people similar to them but not as complex.  They were rather perplexed.  I will be making introductions later on in the process.  These guys are quite likable and will be hard working assets to the studio.  Codyland Studio is finally starting to get some action going and I am looking forward to seeing what comes out of the art machine in the weeks ahead.  My biggest dilemma at the moment is choosing the first show of the year in which to apply. I promised myself I would make a go at entering at least one a month if I can, to get myself out into the art world again.  We shall see how that goes.  Wish me luck and I will report back on how it goes.  Thanks for your interest in Codyland.

(Update): I just sent in my application for the Manifest Gallery show called "Tales Told".  Fingers crossed we shall see what happens.  I only have to move in the direction of my dreams and the Universe will respond.

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...
