Maybe just one more Halloween Ornament!

I loved making the little Halloween ornament so much that I'm going to make another one for my etsy shop. I will post the doll tomorrow!

Mini Ghost Bride Halloween Ornament

Hope your'e all having an amazing Fall, my favorite season!! Summer is officially over but no one told Florida cuz the heat is still here, 90 degrees plus humidity=No Sculpting. But I was able to whip up this sad little sweetie for a special event. Here's a little creepy cutie I made for a Halloween ornament swap.

She is the ghost of a young bride that died of a broken heart, her groom never showed. She is being sent with her little wooden coffin. She is only 3.5 inches tall but her little ghostly dress unfolds to about 6 inches. She wears a veil and flowers in her hair.  She can be hung from the satin ribbon that matches her flowers on her head.

I absolutely love LOVE!! Fall and really wish we had a change of season here. I hope one day I can live in a place where the leaves change color as the temperatures begin to drop;)

In any case I will be making a few new pieces soon for my Etsy shop so see you soon!

The Little Golden Years Art Show

I'm so excited to share my artwork for the upcoming show at Bear and Bird Gallery's "The Little Golden Years". Each artist received a Little Golden Book to inspire us to create a piece based on the story.

My book is titled "My Home" and it is an adorable story that sends the message that it doesn't matter where you live as long as you are loved there. The moment I read it I was flooded with memories of my own childhood and all of the places we called home and how they will always have a place in my heart. So for this show I started with a sketch and then sculpted the drawing as a bust but I decided to make the sculpted girl with her eyes closed, remembering and feeling her childhood home. I dyed her hair the same pink color as the title of the book and carved out an oval in her chest and then sculpted a little house with a tree behind it and some bushes and flowers in front. It is super tiny and hard to photograph but you get the idea;) and I also incorporated some purple flowers in front of her almost as if bittersweet tears made them grow there.

As I was dropping off my work I caught a glimpse of some of the other artists work and I can't wait to see them all once they are hung, talk about ADORABLE!! This show is being curated by the Queen of Cute, Heidi Kenney. I hope you can make it there in person or check out the PREVIEW SALE on Wednesday, June 26th at 8PM!

Sketch Dump

Here are just a few sketches and thoughts I want to share. I have been really busy(thankfully) in my job with amazing projects and have had to put my personal art and sculpting on the back burner.

Just like everyone else, things in my life are changing, I'm also in a different phase of life and I feel like my work wants to, has to, evolve as well. I have a new vision of how I want to take it from idea to paper to canvas to sculpture weaving a story. I strongly believe that as artists we pour our energy into every piece we create. Sometimes its raw and angry other times its serene and hopeful but the energy is always there as it should be. I will be making some new pieces soon and I hope you come along.
Again, these are just some quick sketches for fun-

Hope you all have a great weekend.
