New Work:Circus/WIld West Stages

Well yesterday's Art On The Hill show was slower than I wish it had been but I still believe that this economy will turn around sometime(hopefully soon!)  Until then I'm going to just keep swimming, and making things that make me happy in hopes it will do the same for somebody else. On that note, here are 3 new pieces on found wood "stages". They can hang on the wall or sit on a flat surface. They're constructed of custom printed fabric, wire, found wood, paperclay, metal and tissue paper. They will also be in my Etsy shop-just click here for more info or to purchase.

Yeehaw! Roundup in Roundtop

Before I leave for Texas, I thought I'd post a few images of various pieces I've made for the show along with one photo of my empty studio...it really feels strange to not have ANY artwork in it at all. I will try to post some photos of the show and the town while we're there if I can...if not, this may be the last post for a week or so...Happy Trails!

Roundup #1

Since my next show is in the town of Roundtop, Texas I thought I'd do a few 2D mixed media pieces that harken back to the Wild West Show Roundups that were a part of many circuses and carnivals. This piece is constructed of wire, tent canvas, cut metal, tissue paper, burned wood, and custom printed fabric. It's about 16" tall by 11" wide.
