Two New Figures: Florida CraftArt

Next week is spring break! (can you hear me yodeling with joy?) We're bringing a body of work up to Florida CraftArt in St. Petersburg so keep your eyes open for these kids. The single figure is the lovely Jasmine and the double figure is titled "It's What You Believe".  Notice her skirt is removable.

Their bathing suits are permanent clay. And they arrive with a stand and they hang on the wall.  Hope you like.

It's that time of the month again. Please feel free to use this calendar page for personal use. The warm light might have you dreaming of spring.

Little Wren Art Doll

This is Wren. She's almost complete. Her wings are next. Soon she'll be flying away. I like the light in this photo.

Making Molds

Mold making is dirty, messy and a necessary evil. Thought I would post images on my newest mold. You might have seen it on my newest double figure. It's the face with closed eyes. I even got the cast face out in one piece after the mold was made.

My molds aren't pretty, but they do the trick. No slip casting. Pressing all the way.

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?
