Another JuJu Doll


Her Name is: Beauty


I finished her today. I am in my cyclic funk this weekend and can't seem to get inspired. This happens from time to time. I think my brain just needs to rest sometimes to recharge. But, when I'm like this, I like to finish projects I have on the back burner. This was one of them. I still have several of these to do because I already glued their little heads to their little bodies! I'm thinking of doing a Valentine JuJu for a friend. I also want to make an ATC doll out of a queen of hearts playing card for another friend for Valentines. Let's see if I actually do it. I always think if I write it then I will remember.

Mermaid Treasures
Here is the altered tryptich mermaid collage. I called it "Mermaid Treasures". I really was not pleased with the letters on the side. I am thinking of changing them to scrabble or some other type. These are kind of metallic and they are raised by a little thing behind them. Not digging them at all. But, it will work for now. OK, back to laundry and perhaps a little snappy nappy.
Rhea, if you read this, I hope you and Ronetta and Jessica are having a fabulous time. Hugs!

Yumm...Your tryptich is very nice. I like the letters. I did a piece and used beach glass on it for a funky look.

Paper Flowers and Fabric Flowers

Well, I'm kind of in a creative funk again. I hate it when this happens! I'm so glad that next weekend I am going to Fredricksberg, TX again to the trade days. I know it will inspire me in all kinds of directions. Meanwhile, while I am trying to get my groove back........I have been making a lot of little short term projects in the paper department. I made this little posey pin from faux vintage post/letters etc papers from the scrapbooking department. I actually wore it yesterday on my jacket. Then I spotted this book on Fabric Flowers by Elizabeth Helene Searle at the fabric store and I had to get it. I used her instructions to make this first fabric flower. I want to try several of her other flowers instructions. Now, what will I do with them? Who knows? Does it really matter if I am enjoying myself? Probably everyone will get fabric or paper flowers for Christmas! Heehee Have a great day.

Some Work Humor

Cows...A Poem by Richard Armous Cows Do nothing but browse And drowse And now and then moo. That's all they do. Yet even while grazing They aren't lazing. Even while snacking They aren't slacking. If not illustrious Thay are inner industrious, Making milk with all their might. With every bite. Cream too, With every chew. I'd like it fine Could I combine In such measure Business with pleasure . Happy Friday from the Funky Art Queen.

VILLAGE CLAY WORKS Another Artist Interview

I ran across this wonderful and whimsical artist several weeks ago when her work was featured on Etsy. I have enjoyed looking at her work and I know you will too. Meet Catherine Reece from Northern California. She is a creative woman who has been working in clay for over thirteen years. She was kind enough to let me interview her for this blog. Please enjoy. Tell us about who you are, what do you want to say as a statement about you? My name is Catherine Reece and I live in Dublin, California (just east of Oakland). I am married and a mother of two kids. I have been professionally selling my pottery for 8 years. I was waiting for my husband to graduate from design school and find a job while i worked and played with clay. Over a few years I began to build a small business selling my pottery. MY husband didn't find the job of his dreams and so he joined my in the studio as my partner. Now we make our living as artists selling pottery.I think I am still trying to figure that out. ...
