Paris Dress

For the love of paper!

Look at these beautiful paper dresses

I'm in love with them

Lately I've been working with paper

No fumes paints

No pins and needles to step on

No expensive supplies

and yet it's rewarding in the

creative sense.

I didn't make these darlings,

but I wish for some Paris robes.

Penguin Sculpture Art Dolls Miniatures

The Conductor Sculpture

Penguins have the uncanny upright posture that makes them excellent conductors! They can handle any weather and still retain their upright posture and composure.

We've all heard, "What's black and white and read all over?" It's the penguin conductor with his music. (The next time someone says the newspaper you must tell them the truth about the conductor penguin.)

I hand sculpted the penguin out of clay and the box is made of paper mache which I primed, painted, antiqued and varnished. It is a "working work of art," not to be confused with the term "they are a piece of work," which is not a good work of work or term of endearment (the english language!) You can store little treasures, jewelry, acorns, or moss in it is the point that I am paddling around trying to catch.

More facts and information here on the sweet conductor who wants to be the director of music at your home. Penguin loves it's job.

Mixed Media Elephant Art Paper Mache Sculpture

"How much do I love you?" Elephant asks.
"This much," Elephant exclaims.

When you were little were you one of those kids that wanted an elephant? I was. I told my mom I wanted a monkey, too. (She was secretly horrified, but didn't show it.) Those were just a few of the many things that I remember asking for. My mom calmy thought it impossible to keep them as pets. It didn't stop me from dreaming and wondering about them. If a horse could pull a wagon surely an elephant could do just as good or better. No?

I've created an elephant, not any elephant, but Elephant Love! You see it's telling us how much it love's you. It was made by my own two hands with a wire underbody for support and then paper mache, gesso, paint, antique wash and varnish in that order. It took a few days dry...while I thought of other elephants.

For more information and pictures view it here. You could be the keeper of this elephant. (Your Mom won't mind at all.)
