OUIJA
This was a super fun commission – someone mailed me this tin and asked for a scene. This is a story to which I keep returning.
Here’s the “wanna get weird fellow” again.
Birthday for a Friend
A dear friend just had a birthday. This image seems to hold a lot of meaning for all of us this year, so I decided to make use it in a found pocket watch. The watch already was monogramed with 2 of the 3 correct initials.
Jeanne did her flower magic, and we added some skeleton hand salad tongs, because they are just cool, as well as useful, if you happen to have some salad.
The Colonial Queen
I found this treasure at a yard sale. It needed a little freshening up because it didn’t seem finished. Here is the original (minus the frame):
And here’s the completed version.
P.S. I’ve done a similar piece, which is on view elsewhere.
Alchemical Vessel #2
I am very fortunate to be a curator for this year’s Alchemical Vessel’s exhibit at the Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery at Smith Center for healing + the arts in Washington, D.C.
This also makes my second year as a contributing artist. Below are the images on my take of the theme “The Night’s Journey.”
Here is the gallery postcard with the details (click for full size):
Camera Test
Further exploring stop motion, I made the following test, which is a reprise of an older Flash animation experiment. This time, I moved all the layers by hand. The whole thing took a long Sunday afternoon, which entailed making the scene, boat and actor, exploring lighting and camera settings and then putting this together. Again, it’s just a test but shows great potential.
I am going to tell you the full story next.
The Graveyard Bowl
So…after many years since experimenting with clay (which, I was truly experimenting with, not having any training), I was lucky enough to have brief access to a kiln. This was my first attempt at making bowls in, again, mucho years.
Boo.
