New Work

 

I've been playing around with vintage clothespins of various shapes and sizes. I've opted to use images of real faces versus the clay faces because I needed a change and come people were put off by how spooky the clay faces were, so we'll see how people feel about the change. I'm still using clay faces on other pieces.

Wooden Spindle Art Dolls

"Serene"

 

 

I had these reclaimed wooden spindles and paired them up with vintage wooden blocks and fibers.

Lydia

"Lydia"

 

Lydia is a type of textile art piece. Her dress is muslin fabric that has been painted and attached to hand woven wire. The textured white background, cursive paper and ledger paper are not part of the art piece, even though it appears to be.

I really like the skirt and would like to create a 3-D doll.

These little ladies made an appearance at the Baker Hunt Holiday Art Show/Sale this past Sunday.

The show was small in size, but big on attendance! Other fellow artists there had really wonderful work! Besides the bad weather, it was a fairly successful show! 

Art Doll Minuet

The silk sari fibers used is called the Love Letters Skein because the color resembles that of old vintage letters. I fell in love with the color. She measures about 18" tall.
