Result Back

Well I received my results last week regarding my submitted art for, the Open exhibition at my local gallery.

Unfortunately I didn't get any work accepted this time, but I'm not letting it get me down, and I'm busy getting things together for the Summer Open Exhibition.
I'm going to try out some different style this time, go back to the more experimental stuff I used to do at college, and if they don't get in, well at least I'll have fun trying.

So watch this space, this year is going to be different... :)

If your in the area, why not drop by and check out this Winters 'Open Exhibition', for yourselves

The Pumpkin King

My Latest Sculpt (Dec 2011).

My daughter is a BIG Tim Burton fan and just loves the 'Nightmare before Christmas' Film.
So I put together this sculpt for her Christmas box... I hope you like it.

Jack is a separate figure from the box, and is poseable, (but for safety I have tied him to the box lid)  

His head, hands, & feet are all made from Polymer clay, which are connected by a wire frame.  

His body is soft, and his clothing is hand painted & stitched.

Jack stands about 2ft tall, so it will give you some scale of the box ect.

The box is mdf, covered with clay, then painted and lined, and has a detachable lid.

Here's a photo of Jack while I was making him, so you can get a idea of his height..

I'm glad to say, my daughter loved the sculpt... I even got tears :)

New Art work

Well I've been busy over the last few weeks, trying to get together some new Art work, which I'm hoping to enter into my local galleries, 'Open Exhibition'.

I can enter up to three pieces of work, of any media, i.e. oils, watercolours, textiles, etc...

I've finished my first piece, which I am calling 'Falling'... It is oil pastels, on canvas.
I'm still however not quite sure about the wings, where they join the bodies, I don't know if I should soften them a bit to blend with the bodies or leave them alone.

Anyway have a look and let me know what you think....

As for the next two pieces, I'm hopping to start work on a second painting, in the next few days, but I'm also planning on adding a sculpture, either one of my Art dolls or one of my pottery items.
I'll keep you informed to what I decide.

As for the other items I'm working on... I'm finally getting around to finishing off those part done sculpts, that have been sat on my work top for awhile now... yes I know I'm Bad!!!

Anyway with look I'll start posting them finished in the next few days.
