I know, I know!

You know- SOME PEOPLE just don't know when they are being obnoxious.  They just don't realize that its been all about them for way too long!  Me, me, me- blah, blah, blah!  Good thing I'm not one of those people!  I'm fully aware I'm obnoxious!  But I am too excited to use good judgement and blog about something else right now- or someone else... that would be nice, if I wrote about ANYONE besides myself, just once.....
but enough of that crap!  I just want to show you one thing....one thing from five different angles!  Why?  Because I just can't believe how well HER FACE is turning out!  (really- I'm even worried that I'll have a house fire or flood and all of this will be for nothing!)  So enough talking- here's 5 different pics of the same thing.  Tell me you think she's beautiful...I'll send a check in the mail, tomorrow, I promise.





Wait....you don't think she looks like the Virgin Mary do you?  I hear there's been a lot of sightings lately.  Hmm, art prize entry...or...newest way to prank people....oh, yes, I would.  You betcha!

    Her face is so great, and the hair is just Mother Nature! For some reason, I'm drawn to her mouth. It is so lifelike the way you have it. It's almost like she's about to open it to sing or say something. Her eyes are very wise and her overall face is very introspective and knowing. Love her! But I don't see Mary in her.

    Mel- thank goodness you don't see Mary in her...I was imagining myself making furtive trips with this huge thing in my car and placing her in parking lots and yards but I was stuck on how to get her out without being seen! But the news reports- The virgin Mary seen in Grand Rapids, MI at a local 7-11...news at 6:00!

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...

Whew hoo! I'm in!

The other day I picked up my mail and found this... And I was a little sad because I have been waiting for some kind of notification.... a yes or a no.  I had submitted a tiny doll for the tiny doll challenge.  I waited paitiently.  It killed me.  No e-mail.  No returned package.  No Dear John letter. So when I realized the issue with the challenge results had arrived my heart sunk a little.  I guess that was my notification.  My tiny submission would probably be returned to me shortly.  I would have to decide to buck up and remember you get a lot of no's before you get a yes. But in typical Chris fashion I had to peruse ADQ before I even got out of the car.  Yes, its that bad for me....I have no will power.... I have to give it a look over......I mean really, they had me at the cover!  That's artist Sherri Debow's art work.  All I can say to describe it is wow!  The detail, the concept, the color palette- I'm in ...
