On a roll...

You'd think that after the storms of the last couple of weeks - not to mention the 8 inches of water I'm trying to deal with in my basement and the leak in the roof - I'd be much too haggard for art.  It is helping to keep my chin up.  I'm taking a class on A is for Artistic given by Marilyn Radzat.  So far I've taken her Head series and her hand and arm series.  I still need to add a little to the palm area of one hand and flesh out/smooth the arm areas but thought I would post a picture or two.  My thought for this figure is to make her a Herald Angel.  She will be a gift for my church.

Second installment - face pendant #2 - not too seriously

This is the second of the two face pendants that I've worked on this week.  It's funny how I make the faces and then it takes so long before I figure out how I want to finish them.  This is the second face that I've worked on this week.  The faces were finished long ago and I just got into a beading frenzy and finished them.  This one really is not taking myself too seriously.

Not too seriously...

Happy Labor Day weekend 2011.  As I come into the unofficial time of fall in the northeast, many things come to mind.  I've had many happy years here in Cambridge, NY.  It's one of the most beautiful places I have ever lived.  I plan to be here for a few more years to come.  (God willing.)

I've been working on some more beaded face pendants and actually have one done and wonder of wonders - I have a picture to post.  I have another one that is well underway and hopefully I will post it by tomorrow. 

For anyone who doesn't know, my last two pieces that I placed in an art gallery were stollen - not something I'm very happy about - I learn the hardway.

This is a face pendant that is a tongue in cheek - actually tongue stuck out rendition of "Don't take yourself too seriously".  Have a great day and hopefully another photo tomorrow.
