The Traveling Cockatiel
My friend's pet cockatiel had flown away some time ago, she came  into her life as she had left her life, through an open window.  I sat with her a few weeks ago as she told me the story and born in my mind was the Traveling Cockatiel,  a One of a Kind art doll that I had to make for that friend

Inspiration.  Saw this on facebook and was inspired to create this piece.

Polymer Clay and glass

I have just discovered that Polymer Clay works well with glass objects.  I had an inexpensive glass vase, sculpted right on top it and baked it at the recommended 270 degrees for 15 minutes.  The glass will not crack at this temperature and the clay actually bonds to the glass.

Artist Block

Was a touch blocked this evening.  The body is willing but the mind just won't follow.  I kept at it and this little gal emerged.  Don't know what direction I'm going in with her but I'm not too unhappy with the sculpt at this point.

Art Doll Quarterly

Was oh so happy last night to hear that My Freak Show Art Doll piece was published in the Spring issue of Art Doll Quarterly Magazine.  ADQ is by far one of my favorite publications.  The magazine is full of wonderful photographs of some of the best art doll artist's work out there and I am honored to have had my piece chosen to be in this issue.

Iron Maiden - Killers Art Doll

Here is the third and I think last Iron Maiden Art Doll I will be making for now.  Iron Maiden was my Sister's favorite band when we were teenagers.  Our bedroom walls were covered with posters of the band and their famous mascot Eddie. 

He is made almost entirely of polymer clay and hand painted with acrylic paint.  His axe and sneakers are 3D printed and hand painted.  His wig is made of Tibetan Lamb's wool.  He stands 17 inches high.
