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 under the treadmill when I was dusting.
And how I decided that my personal style was "Art Noveau-ish"????
Well, there's a little project going on for a submission in Art Doll Quarterly....if it gets done and mailed to arrive by Sept. 15th.  

Now back to feeding my anxiety...(Kidding, I'm not anxious, seriously, one little comment about twisting someone's blobby little head off their blobby little shoulders and placing it elsewhere in their anatomy and suddenly you're the talk of the family reunion!!!)

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 ...
