Woodsy

So I found two wooden necklaces at Savers over the weekend. One smooth and split in slices and the other in rounded wooden pebbles. They both have proved to be quite useful in repurposing them into necklaces to sell for my upcoming show. I say show but what I really mean is a small town art/craft/old lady fair. Which is sometimes the best. After selling at huge shows out west, I kinda like having neighbors at my "shows" that aren't trying to outdo me or be cooler then cool, they instead could very well be the parents and grandparents of my students in town. I am making a name for myself here and I love that small town feeling that you get when everyone knows your name. I do miss the big city and LA in particular. But here is to new adventures in the art world. Small and even smaller.

Reclaimed

Three quick makeovers this weekend involving a cuckoo clock, a ceramic cow skull, and a plastic framed mirror.... I had cheap white paint so it was a bit chalky and runny to begin with but it all turned out

The mirror will look great in the show displays coming up

The skull has been added to my bone collection, next to Annie.

This is my favorite piece that turned out. The plastic disc that goes on top of the clock got all marked up and a bit of paint on it too, so that had to go... but it works and even cuckoos which was a surprise. I still don't know what do to about the missing pendulum but I love it and it is mine for the time being. What a great pop of color in the livingroom.
