The "Centerline" Exhibit In October At The Zhou B Art Center "With Love & Respect"
I always wanted to make a life-sized piece so I did!!!!!!!! This baby is 5 1/2 feet tall. I decided to use the old Japanese fan & the skeletons & skulls I had & make her into a Day Of The Dead piece. Día de Muertos is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. They also leave possessions of the deceased.
The Annual Exhibit At 4Art Inc Gallery "Shattered Mirror"
It pretty much spells out my self 30 years ago. I opened a 'can of worms' but have my dollhouse! Besides 2 glass jars I made EVERY miniature in this piece! What a labor of love!
"Makin' Purty Music" & "Shit Creek Paddle Company"
Makin' Purty Music"
Found this xylophone & love the metal & shape. When I posted it it was still 'under construction!' My white pieces got ruined by heat NO saving them after trying multiple products...................I lost more of the 'toothpick detail' each coat. The answer was too late..........Latex Clear Matte Spray. Big problem as the polymer is water based & NEEDS water based coatings. So building up white pieces & get out the molds I made & put them to use! Think (know) I need to make more.
"SHIT CREEK PADDLE CO." Nothin' like bein' up shit's creek without one! How much fun did I have with this?????? My last post was an xylophone where I explained I lost my white pieces due to heat. So this is the second white piece & now I am going back to color! I do have a couple of white pieces in my Etsy store. https://www.etsy.com/shop/kerijoy
