Seeker

He is done and he has a name.....Seeker. His body is made from chicken wire bent into his form. His shoulders and head are polymere clay. The chicken wire frame has been wrapped with cotton fabric and then spanish moss from the oak trees. his arms are wire that has been wrapped in plaster cloth, cotton fabric, raffia and spanish moss. The staff he is carrying is from our grape vines and there is a crystal on the very top. His feet are rather large to allow him to stand and they are made from boards from an old coffee table, covered in tissue paper and spanish moss.
If you scroll down a bit you will see him when he first arrived on my desk and was neekid.




His head, face and shoulders and free form shaped and then baked.

muntant carrots

While weeding and cleaning out the raised bed I came upon the land of the Muntant Carrot family. Very strange little things.

playing with altoid tins

Apparently I have tons of empty Altoid tins that are dying to be altered. This is the first one. The house image and woman in the front are stamps from Rubbermoon. The colored pencil fence are a number of toothpics painted to look like colored pencils. The HOME word is cut from magazine pages and has a piece of myca over it. Various book pages were collaged onto the inside along with bold leaf.
the edges are scalloped copper tape that has been flooded with solder. The hanger is wire with tiny glass beads.
The back is covered with handmade paper.
