Assemblages are FUN!

This piece is similar to another that I had created a while back. I think this bird is an imposter. LOL. A friend of mine gave a piano to me that had already been taken apart. Lucky me! I used a couple of the hammers to make this little guy's wings.

It's fun to make assemblages. What is not fun is trying to get a good pic of them. There must be some trick to photographing glass, but I haven't figured it out yet.

I will be taking these to Southern Hearts a little later today.

Cherry Tree Tea Room

I was super excited when Amanda Cherry invited to be a vendor at the Cherry Tree Tea Room. I will be featuring my new digital art calendars there. I showed her one (it is the one with the beach theme) and she told me that she would like to display 5 of them. Five of the same would be a bit much so I spent the next 10 days working up 4 more. (without my son's computer help, I might add! He has taught me well)

These calendars are behind glass so you can write all over them with a Sharpie and erase with a little alcohol.

This morning, I went with my camera to photograph how they were displayed and learned that I had already sold one! Yes, I am doing a happy dance.

The Cherry Tree Tea Room is located in historical downtown Kingsville. Their chicken salads and desserts are to die for.

Right outside the tea room is the brick that has my husband's name engraved on it. How special is that?? He shares his brick with a bunch of Yaklins.

The Black Hat Society

Long before there was ever a Red Hat Society, the BLACK hat society witches ladies were getting together to have their "girl" time.

I created this assemblage in a big clock that I picked up while shopping at Warrenton last weekend. It is complete with spider webs, a clock, an icky spider, and even a little mouse if you look real close. I took it to my booth at Third Coast where I have lots of cool Halloween items.

Grave robbing

Well, not really. I made up some art bottles last night. They were so fun to create! Creating things for Halloween is my favorite. Get to explore that dark side LOL!

Nest Assemblage

This little guy has been sitting on my piano unfinished for quite some time. I had started on him before I took my fulltime job, but now that the job is over, I can finally get back into my studio and have some fun!

The embodiment of a nest, this assemblage contains real feathers and is labeled with a medal medallion. He is a dirty-faced creature with a vintage button on his back.
