Rockin' in the parlor

and giving the dog a bone. Kicking back..check out the footwear..and this old lady seems happier than her pooch! Another entry at gallery show with the AC/DC theme.

Money Talks

BACK VIEW...this shows what his tricycle cart holds.

Money Talks

Some people have money to play with..I use play money for art! This is another sculpture created for the show....another one inspired by AC/DC.

Hells Belles

Created for my gallery show...inspired by my favorite rock band AC/DC...this sculpture gives new meaning to the phrase..'belle of the ball'

Lotus shoe challenge

I created this sculpture using the body pattern from Michelle Munzone and then my muse took over and I designed the garment and created life size lotus shoes. Note the traditional make up and colors used. I also used jade and pearls for embellishments..the kimono is made from silk and I "bound" the feet as is also traditional. Also to note is the hair style and head dress.

Insiration board

This is my inspiration board showing the elements I used when designing my sculpture...a faery.a patchwork bird..a clock..vivid color...somewhat distorted head and body shape..and of course his painting of an acrobat. I hope I paid him a compliment with my work.

AFIC entry

This is the sculpture I entered in the AFIC 2007 show....my "Chagall's Acrobat". This sculpture is handsewn..my own design...has elements which are found in Chagall's paintings. I needlesculpted and handpainted the faces...wired the bodies for posability...and created the stand which resembles a circus tent.

Goddess Brighid

At almost 3 foot tall...Brighid is totally sewn by hand...her body is wired for posability.....her face is needlesculpted and handpainted...she wears genuine stones and beads..celtic armbands...and her garment is made from vintage fabric I cut from an old wedding gown. I created rings for her fingers and she lights the way with her "flames".

Cloth Artistic Sculptures

If one could put a voice to my muse that others could hear.....it would be light and fantasy with sweet celtic sounds playing softly. There would be friendly creatures who stop to play and frolic through the meadows...yet find when it's time for a rest one needs to follow the pungent earthy smells of the forest, a cool stream and a playful waterfall to lull us to sleep.

I create sculptures made of cloth. I needlesculpt and handpaint their faces and they are totally handsewn. Their garments are also handsewn and I use new and vintage materials and embellish them with natural stones, crystals, beads, silk flowers, lace and anything my imagination leads me to use. I create mostly fae but do create other characters as inspired or commissioned.

Enjoy your visit into my world where peace abides.....and the creatures tell "ye harm none" "so mote it be".
Hugs and Blessings
