Working on two more pieces for our show which we hang on Monday. Why do I do that? I always feel not finished and make a big ass push at the last minute even though I am infact done, I am a pretty disiplined worker and I don't even know why I feel this way. Looking forward to summer and spending time with my dogs which are very cute here's a picture.
I do have a third terrarium I'm working on because you have to do things in groups of 3's or 5's or 7's. Well I have to, maybe I should have said I have to do things in groups of, blah blah blah.......but here we go.
Okay finally got my terrarium light wired, and actually it looks pretty cool. New for the upcoming show at Core with two fab artists, Katie Hoffman and Meg Meersman. Show opens April 18 at Core gallery. This little house is not only full of plants but also jam packed with various found objects and a slightly creepy baby.
This is going to sound insane, as I was looking at the outside of the altered photo album, trying to decide if I wanted to alter the outside, and noticed FOR THE FIRST TIME that the back was not celluloid but a green velvet with a floral pattern printed on it. How in the world did I miss that? I think I will blame it on my cold. At any rate I decided that I loved the outside so much that I will leave it as is. Here is the front and back and final chapter.
In the second panel of the center of the book I have a very flat deceased snake.....both the mouse and the snake are just the right amount of flatness to fit perfectly in the book. Just a little something to add interest.
Here are a few shots of the mouse and then of his final resting place with clamps in place!
Working on a new altered book, this one is a larger album than I have been doing it's been very fun so far almost half done.
Finished the elephant and starting altered book. Also I noticed that the puppy (did I say I wasn't going to mention the puppy for a while) makes quite a mess with his toys not unlike his human counterparts.....
Worked all day yesterday on this elephant picture, now I've just got a couple of things to add and I will be done. For some reason I didn't try this before on my walls but it occurred to me that a nice gel transfer would look perfect and it does. Why am I always last to my own dance?
Okay maybe this will be the last photos for a while of the puppy......but he's so darn cute.
