Phat Cat...Pure Whimsy!

It's that quizzical expression that I'm loving.

A purple balloon and some recycled packing paper...

A block of wood, some Osnaburg fabric, masking tape

and a messy mixture of water and white wood glue!

The End... Tsk! Tsk!

(it's just the beginning...)

Great Horned to the Gallery

After adding a wash of acrylic paint 

to his wing and chest feathers...

he was given a light wash of raw sienna.

 

I took a bit of artistic license with his ear feathers!

The show... "Guilty Pleasures" opens next Friday,

January 20th @ 6 p.m. in Millville, NJ...

at the Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts.

Work-in-Progress...

 

The new show at R.R.C.A. opens in less then two weeks:

"Guilty Pleasures"

 Great Horned Owl pleads guilty as charged... 

"Bibliophile"

(you can never have, read, love too many books!)

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 are in the Artful Giving Show

which opened yesterday at the RRCA

in Millville, New Jersey. 

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...
