Feeding the Birds - a Calavera

Just finished my latest Calavera scene, "Feeding the Birds".
I really liked working on this scene, I wanted to create that Abuelito (grandfather)  we all now who gets up early every morning, puts on his hat and goes for a long walk to the park, where he sits and feeds his friends the birds.  He also takes the loaf of pan Webers with him, and when Abuelita finds out there is no bread for her morning pan tostado, well maybe Abuelo won't get the second cup of coffee he asks for!

Breaking Through

My latest papier mache work:  Breaking Through
She is an all hand made Skele-Maid ready for her Dia de los Muertos appearance.
Her shadowbox is all hand textured, painted and sealed.  This is a pretty large shadowbox too
Made for that specific person, I don' know who, but she's ready for you.

Frida Kahlo Calavera

Getting ready for the Art Depot Show & Sale in San Bernardino July 27th. 

This is an all handmade Papier Mache Calavera.  I stated with her head, then body, gesso, paint, made the clothes, with handpainted flowers, lace, placed the flowers in her hair and even added a necklace for her. 
Hope you like her:

Best Saturday Ever at Belle's Nest

Had the best time Saturday at Belle's Nest in Sierra Madre.  Making Art Globes with my two new friends Katie and Carmen.  I think it's Vital for women to create, and I just feel totally honored to help them do that. 

"Best Saturday Ever!"

I have news from the world of Gozer.

Random Crazyness from Absolute Strangers!
Went to an Art Faire recently, which shall remain nameless.
Lady came into my booth, looked at my Skele-Mermaid Sisters and asked
"How did you make this?"  I said, "Oh, um...papier mache fins, um...body with glitter,  painted the shadowbox...  Believe me I was trying to answer her, I wasn't being mean or vague.
Then she demanded, yelling, "NO, HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS!!"
Then I said, "What?" still not angry, I just felt I wasn't understanding what she wanted!
So she turned on her heel and STOMPED OUT!
Weird or what, someone please explain that one to me!
