Spring Making

Nature inspires art...I grew poppy flowers last year and became enchanted with the "Pod" shape.

So I decided to give them a try in metal.

Big rusty orb...each disk is about 4" across.

Some comical birds happen....kind of a tall pelican?

Others are elegant, cranes.

And some small cuties.

Spring!

The long winter is over, the First Festival of the year is coming up on Sunday, wheewww, where did the time go. I have been busy making new things, and learning new thing. Not all sculpture related, I usually focus on quilting during the cold wet months, and most of this Spring has been consumed with Dyeing fabric for future quilt projects

 

I also have been busy out in the metal shop....to busy to blog obviously.

This project has been on my mind for a while, it was a fun transition from quilting to metal it reminds me of a quilted feather design.

 

The fern cutout will become part of a garden bench, in the near future.

And of course I could not resist rust dyeing it.

 

It is such a great peice. Now to find the perfect use for it.

 

You all are welcome to come visit me Sunday at the Spring Garden Festival

Sunday May 4th 9-4

A Parliament of Owls

Come see me and my new Owls at the Spring Garden Festival , Sunday in Corvallis.

First Owlet, maybe my favorite.

I don't know if this is very "owlish"? A little "clownish".

Owlets with wings.

It was very fun playing with all the Big Hootey eye variations. And Who knew there was so many shovel shapes?

Beautiful Day

It was a beautiful day at the Spring Garden Festival this year, this is quickly becoming a favorite show for me. What's not to love, being surrounded by luscious plants for the day, and many faithful returning customers. A very fast paced busy day, with just enough breaks to get a quick look around(buy a few plants), and peak into the Corvallis Art Center
