When I dreamt this one, I wasn’t sure how to make it. It took me a while to figure it out. “Seeds” came from a dream, but I think also it may have been inspired by a Japanese sculpture we’ve had in our family since I lived in Okinawa as a child. I’ve made a [...]

I was tagged by Moonbeam McQueen.
Five Things in your bag:
1. Moleskin notebook: Blank sheets perfect for jotting down ideas, small sketches, phone numbers. I love this thing. There are a lot of blank pages still. You’d think I’d have more ideas.
2. 2-inch-thick layer of crumpled old receipts: This protective layer of packing material guards [...]

Here is a second sculpture using the same pose as “Where do you stand”. This one is much larger in size and is full figure. This is the largest figurative sculpture I’ve done so far. I plan to give her a very long drying
time.
When she’s leather hard, I’ll bring her in to Litmus to [...]

Do you notice anything wrong with this gorgeous picture of my husband in Slovenia? That’s right! I’m not in it.
Take a look at the magnificent place he’s standing. This is a castle on a lake in Bled near Austria with the alps in the background.
He says they’ve been feeding him prison food in Slovenia. [...]

When your husband heads off to Europe without you, you’d think he’d at least have the courtesy to not have a good time, to not see anything beautiful while he’s there, etc. etc….

“Beautiful” is a re-sculpt of “The Pawn” that you can see in my PTSD series . “Recurve” is another sculpture I was able to make using “The Pawn” as a model. This is one of my favorite pieces.
I hate to admit I am culturally naive …but I am, so the base is just a [...]
