A Star is Born... Part Two!

I ended up using German glass glitter,

rather than gold-leafing.

A Star is Born...

 

 

Finally finding some time to work on

our 2022 Christmas ornies!

Psalm 147:4 seems so appropriate:

"He counts the stars and calls them all by name"

Paper Clay and Cotton Canvas...

Ready to Gesso...

Then a wash of acrylic paint 

and I'm thinking some gold leafing 

here and there.

Thanks for stopping by... be blessed in this Advent season!

"Houses of Clay"... is for sale in the Virtual Exhibition Nov. 18-Dec. 16, 2022

I'm excited to be able to offer this art doll as part of the 

Elemental Spirit Dolls: Healing the Planet Show

which benefits Friends of the Earth Climate Change Team

 

Designed to hang  on a wall, this mixed-media doll

is approximately 12" tall and 10" wide.

The head is paper clay, from a press mold that I cast; 

using a vintage baby-doll. Wood chair caning pegs,

 wood beads, bone beads, annealed wire, fabric, 

nails, gold-leafing, cardboard and acrylic paints 

were used for the halo, the wings and the body.

"Little Ones"... Loving the Process!

These guys makes me smile...

They started out with some annealed wire, 

newspaper and masking tape... lots of tape!

A little paper clay... more masking tape!

Watercolor paper and layers of hand towels... 

Did I say? 

They make me smile...

What a Hoot... A New Forever Home!

 

Thank You to all of our art patrons...
