Look at this!



These fantastic doodles were created by June from the blog- A creative Dream. I first came across this blog when I was playing my favorite game- blog jumping. I go to a blog I follow and jump to a blog they follow. If I like=I follow. Then I go to one of the blogs they follow and do the same. That was back in the day when I had spare time (mostly at work...) I have to identify with something about the person or their art.

I liked this blogger's description of herself-about trying to find grace. I particularly like her art dolls- you have to see the latest, she has the sweetest, most serene, face- and I love that you have to look "in" at her to get a good glimpse. I recommend you GO NOW. http://acreativedreamer.blogspot.com

She also creates these most amazing doodles that I could stare at for hours and get lost in all the intricacies. In March she had a give away of 15 doodles and guess what... I WON! I never win anything and that's what I posted on her blog. REALLY- some people have luck, my mother-in-law and husband can walk into a casino and win a few hundred dollars. I can't win over the gaze of a cocktail waitress! But it was close to St. Patrick's day and I must have channeled some Irish heritage and I WON!
So of course, I will be framing them and hanging them, with honor, in my art space! Thank you again, June, this is better than money- to win original art from a fellow blogger!

    Chris, it's REALLY sweet of you to say such kind things...and all I had to do was bribe you with a doodle...lol

    It has taken me a bit to get around to things, we've had a bit of craziness around here with weddings, graduations, moves...argh..

    But I wanted to let you know that I appreciate the kind words and more I appreciate the gorgeous work that you do...I LOVE the dolls...they are amazing!!

A Little Summer Fun Followed By A Little Summer Anxiety!

  Yep.  Got a  little goin' on... First off-  Anything to keep these two busy!    Very first overnight camp- thought I'd be really anxious.  Turns out- not so much! A few family reunions   with a few too many pictures taken.... A little surf and sand and a husband who says "Back up...I'll get the bay in the background."   Hmmm ... looks like we're in the background and those flip flops are are pretty much the focal point of this picture.  No wonder I'm always behind the lens! Did I mention- ANYTHING TO KEEP THESE TWO BUSY???? There's been some art.... And then there's this lady.  This is the final on her face- because if I don't get this done.... Their gonna lock me away in the funny house! Oh yeah, because I just don't have enough going on.... Remember this?  The birdcage never quite made it on this lady's head but.....I did not throw it out.  Actually I lost it and finally found it un...

Paper Mache` vs. Creative Paper Clay vs. Paper Clay Recipe!

For those of you who work in figurative sculpture, or are art doll makers, or just like to putz around in an artsy way this post is for you. If you don't fit into the categories above this post may just be a yawn. Sorry. The following is a comparison of my experiences using three different products. Paper mache`, Creative Paper Clay, and paper clay recipe. This picture is a good example of how I like to mix up my mediums. The round flower is Creative Paper Clay. The 3-petal blossom is made from the paper clay recipe found on line. Both of these flowers adhered quite well with out any glue to the paper mache` background. In my Cloth and Clay group I have a discussion going about a paper clay recipe vs. purchasing the manufactured paper clay. I wanted an alternative to the little bricks and my dependency on whether or not my local hobby stores would have it in stock or not. And, truthfully, at the time with a rather large sculpture in mind I knew I would eat through those...

I thought I could hack it....

Going a week without posting....but I was wrong!  The problem is that while I have been working my patootie off on the big little lady there's just not much to show for it. Since you've seen her last she's gotten hair with stuff growing out of it.  I've had some metal garland for years (I'm a pack rat, thanks parents of that generation!)  and wove it in there along with some wired rope.  Then I decided I needed way more leaves so I went to the hardware and bought aluminum flashing and spent hours cutting out leaves.  I wasn't sure I even liked her "do" but its growing on me.  One thing was for sure I hated her hands.  More specifically how huge I had made them.  her delicate arms were attached to these huge clubs and I wasn't happy.  After all, I wanted her to have thin arms and a thin neck so it wasn't like I could make them bigger!  But- last week I did make those arms beefier and guess what?  She looks good.  Then I real...
