Halloween

I'm getting an early start on Halloween with a little bit of illustration. Let me know what you think....

Here's a random piece I'm working on with no destination in mind. I've been told I should apply to ArtfulHome.com, so I need four or so pieces that aren't already on their way somewhere. I had fun making the little necklace and it helps my use up the amazing amount of stuff I have squirreled away.

I also want to thank everyone who has commented on my work!

So now that I'm finished doing pieces for my show at two vaults I'm on to my October show at Lunar Boy Gallery in Astoria. I'm also recovering from achilles tendon surgery, which makes it hard to stand for very long, but I'm still managing to get some stuff done.

New stuff

Okay, so it's been awhile. I've been busy injuring my achilles tendon and I'm waiting now to see if I need surgery. In the interim I finished up three more pieces for my two vaults show on June 18th. I also started some illustrations for a kids book, but I'll post those later. I don't want to overwhelm anyone...

More work for the June show

That's right. My May show is now in June, which I guess makes it my June show now. Anyhow, it gives me more time to make more stuff. Here are a couple of more that I've been working on. The bodies are made of 2x4s or 4x4s, which, if I had any sense, I would have picked up from the scrap pile at the house we are building (or having built, to be exact) instead of at Home Depot. Of course, now that the framing is done, there are no more scraps, so it's back to the warehouse store.

Verde

If you like your hot sauce green, this one's for you. Another piece done for my May show! Alot of the pieces used were originally intended as polymer clay jewelry but never made it quite that far.

More pieces for the May show

The last piece I posted is now finished and I've added a new one. Look for more towards the end of the week. I'm making all of the bodies for these out of a 2x8 and then shaping them with a bandsaw and an angle grinder with a seriously abrasive sanding disc. It's amazing what a difference a new blade makes. Especially since the old one was broken.
