Felted Beret

This was supposed to be a beret, but it got too small! Now I suppose it could be a wall hanging. The orange wool is wet felted and the swirls are yarn that is dry felted.

Enameled Earrings! Let me know if you'd like a pair.

Examples of paper sculptures for my Intermediate Drawing class. Students will make a paper sculpture from white paper and draw it in black and white charcoal in a trompe l'oeil style.

Scrappy Shift

Long time no post!

So what have I been up to since May? Here's a start...my Prada inspired shift from various scraps of silk and suede. This project started in July and I finally finished in November for Emily's wedding. If only there were more hours in the day!

Ceramics!

Here is the ceramic work that I've been working on this spring. The pictures aren't great, but they'll do for now. My favorite of the bunch is the head/torse inspired by Metaphysical artists de Chirico and Carra. It's currently untitled, but it needs a great name.

Tea for Two-Warhol and You

Here is a recently completed ceramic artwork of mine titled Tea for Two-Warhol and You, inspired by the iconic works of Andy Warhol. The Brillo box is the teapot, with the hole in the corner as the spout and the Brillo pad as a lid; the Torn Label Soup can is the creamer, with part of the label as the spout and the removed top as a lid; the Coca-Cola bottle is the sugar, with the neck of the bottle as a top. The set will be in the Penn Valley art show and sale coming up in a couple of weeks.
