New Sculptures and New Ideas

Here are a few of my newest sculptures. I have starting trying a lighter hand with color. And adding hair, sewing more too. And a lot more angels. Ethereal. Light. Reason? After experiencing horrible shortness of breath that I thought  was allergies.




Went to the doctor and it turned out to be sky high cholesterol, pre-diabetes along with allergies. Suffice it to say I had angels watching over me. Thank God I went to a new doctor. So brace yourself for a whole lot of winged ladies. Guardian angels are filling my studio.

February Calendar

Hello. I was very naughty and didn't post this yesterday. I was out jogging, walking and enjoying the perfect winters day in South Florida. I am about to post images of the newer girls. Soft silky flowing hair, free standing and all that. Keep watching.

Ethereal New Work in 2015

For a lot of reasons lately I've been doing a lot of soul searching with regards to my art. Long ago I made clothes for my figures but talked myself out of doing it because I didn't have a degree in fashion design. But I love to sew, and bead, and embroider, and paint, and make jewelry, (and, and and). So I got really pissed at myself and here's what I have been up to in the past few months. A lot more labor and materials go into these so the price point will be higher than my older work. Hoping to list them in the next week or two. Do you like?

Happy New Year

I told myself I was done with this calendar page business in 2015 and then I used my laptop and realized that I really missed it. Horribly. And with the new year will come new pieces. Lately there have been a few set backs, glazes shivering off the work. But I've got a new load ready to fire and setbacks won't keep me down. Here's the lovely Londiva as January's pin up. Happy New Year!

Newest Sculpture: Londiva

I've been sketching like a fiend because I wanted to try something different. Here's what I've been doing. Sewing clothes on nude figures and combining mixed media. Her necklaces are real pearls, her brooch is one of my mom's old pearl earrings and her crown is metal. Thinking I am in love.

My Table Today

Thought I would post a couple of images of my table top. I've been trying new things. Pieces with movable arms and legs... flapping wings. And really large shakers for sprinkling cinnamon and sugar onto toast. Loading the kiln today.  It's funny because I sometimes see images of other artists tables and theirs are so clean? How do they do that? Really? I wind up  working and boxing myself into a messy corner. But after the kiln is loaded the paper is changed and the order returns.
