"WALL DANCERS:

Wall Dancers are one of a kind Art Dolls that were 'born' in February 2003. To all of my customers and dear friends who have made my "Wall Dancers" as successful as they've been, a heart-felt thanks and hugs for supporting me throughout my endeavors. To new viewers please enjoy browsing!

FOUND OBJECT ART:

When Ken from Landfill art asked if I would do my polymer work on a hubcap I was hooked! To think he will be taking 1041 what some would think were junk but turning them into 'masterpieces!' It will be a table book & a traveling exhibit. After this I decided turning found objects with a 'Keri spin' would be a RIOT! And it is. I've not made a "Wall Dancer" since. After selling 1400 one of a kind dolls, I was ready for the change!


I have decided that I lost track of WHY I love my art. I love the gals but it as time for a change & this change is going to be around for awhile. So I began to play with found objects or my art. For just the fun of it. The hubcap was such a cool idea for the Landfill Art Project I thought Ken's idea of turning junk hubcaps into art was so very cool. So I decided it would be fun to play & use junk as my canvases sometimes. Once I started putting polymer on it I was changing the junk into art.

My wish is that my work will make you feel happy, positive and sometimes even encouraged. That they will always put a smile on your face! All come to you signed and dated by me, Keri.

"KeRicTures"

Hubby & I are now collaborating on a new series of art pieces. I sketch the faces & Ric cuts them out but they can have 5-6 layers of masonite to create them. Then I do the painting & assembling.

Next he makes the bodies & then back to me for painting. These are truly whimsical pieces so colorful! This on is 29" tall so good size pieces. Each face will be different but the bodies will stay the same. When people see our work because of the body style they will think "Ric & Keri made these!" Thus the name KeRicTures. They'll be painted differently & can be a blast in a grouping!

My "Doobie" "KeRicTure" Is Featured In Artfire Today

What a nice thing to wake up to! Have beautiful weekends. Hugs & for those who voted for me in the 3RD WARD OPEN CALL.......love, hugs & appreciation.

CALLIN' OUT THE TROOPS!


CALLIN' OUT THE TROOPS!
For all you bud, & artists...I sure could use your help. I had the nerve to enter my 1st exhibit. It's an on-line exhibit but this Lyme-Head is going to put on my 'big girl' panties & try. Since I cannot do outdoor shows this I could do. It also shows fellow Lyme peeps that you can get out of bed turning lemons into lemon drop martins! Once you hit vote you go to the next page where you hit like. If you like my work & can vote for me hugs & thanks.
Keri
Again YOU ROCK!

Resurrecting The "Wall Dancers"

From top to bottom:

"Queen Of The Castle" Babe
"Purple Passion" Babe
"Just An Old Hippie" Babe
"On my Journey" Babe
"Feline Groovy" Babe
"Big Heart" Babe








Hi guys!

It seems that when I did a "Wall Dancer" doll for Christmas In July & posted on Facebook many commented on it's whimsy! After selling 1400+ of them I needed the break & recycling found objects was & is a riot!

Then the "KericTures" were 'born'. Now needing a break ~laughing~ from them........... I started the 'gals' again. They are fun as I sit here with 1 more doll to paint, 2 "KeRicTures" to paint & 2 found object pieces ready to be assembled. OY! But all is good & I hope this year brings love, joy & happiness to you all. Hugs.

My dear dear friends


I am getting emails asking how my treatment is going. I think posting it here rather than writing everyone individually is easiest. It's been 5 weeks & I am still infusing my antibiotics. We are on my 4th med. I'm doing good, creating like crazy & enjoying the holidays with my family. For all of you who wrote I love you for your wonderful caring hearts. I truly am blessed by so much. Know I carry you in my heart. Wishing a happy beautiful New Year to you all. Hugs & kisses,
Keri

Happy & Healthiest Of Holidays to All











Well my dear friends from my family to yours we wish you a beautiful New Year with all your wishes becoming a reality! The holidays here were beautiful filled with love. I have been infusing antibiotics for my Lyme for 5 weeks now but I'm doing great. Rex our pup is now the size of Martha our 5 yr. old lab. I feel so blessed for all of the beautiful things & people who are my heart. My Sissy "Sheenie" did this gorgeous portrait of me as my Christmas present & made my daughter Kelly an angel so Kel will stop trying to rip mine off! To my old 'buds' you know how much I love you & we have gone through so much together. To my new 'buds' I look forward to knowing you more!
Hugs, love & kisses,
Keri

"Monkey In The Middle"



Boy was the bowling part of this piece a mess! It was an old clock in TERRIBLE shape! I kinda shook my head at it at the flea market & felt the challenge! Now months later I see it & found the monkey in my 'treasures' & decided to see what would happen if I put them together...........wallah!
