Moon Goddess sure is a popular girl!

My girl is featured in a treasury on etsy for the third time, other two were a halloween one and a white as snow one.  This one is Dreaming of a white christmas... click HERE to see.

Bonsai

Whats next?
Im going to try and make some miniature bonsai, this way they will not die!
There are some AMAZING ones online (google  images) but I actually want to do some with real branches that I coat with acrylic?  Maybe it will work.

Wearable Art

Wearable art!
I turned one of those photos from a few blogs past into a black t-shirt that I can wear with pride!  The figure came out surprisingly well.... designing for black is difficult and thank God for photoshop and its ability to create transparent images or else she would have had a strange background on her... but here she is!  Im very happy with it and will wear it until the threads come apart :)

Ode to prayer

Ode to, “Crist sake, thank you for letting mommy come home and staying forever and getting out the army, amen”

Remember, butterfly people represents altercation/change.  This work of art was created originally as a portrait of two real-life children, the work of art has since been altered by me (the artist) to represent the maturation of the children and the prayers that they used to say so often as a child, “Now I lay me, down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take, god bless mommy and papi, Sherree and Pedro, grandma and grandpa, and everybody in this whole wide world, Christ sake, thank you for letting mommy come home and staying forever and getting out the army, amen.”

The Butterfly People

I am really quite unsure as to where the work is going, or rather how the work is changing.  If asked I would not be able to answer whether the butterflies would remain a literal part of the works of art, I am positive however, that the name will remain The Butterfly People.  Why? In this case the butterfly has gone from the literal attachment of the physical dead insect to a deeper meaning.  The word butterfly suddenly stands for transformation which as most everyone knows refers to the stages of metamorphosis that the insect takes during its ascent into adulthood.  The Butterfly People, the changing people, the people who transform, who change, who undergo metamorphoses.   Change is an important part of life, we can always be sure that we are going to change, but will we change for the better or for worst?  When we love and approve of ourselves we only change for the better, believe that!  That said, These changelings are currently appealing to me as literal expressions of who they were and who they are going to be, that said, the next few pieces will either be old re-vamped works, or new works but who begin one way and end up a totally different way (with the assistance of paint no doubt!). 

Gratitude

Lots of seriously beautiful gratitude bouquets and forgiveness flowers are coming very soon, my little pots have been fired and are beautiful, the stark white is a nice change from the usual terra cotta pottery and adds a different appeal to them while keeping them plain adds artistic flair as well as a opposition to the extreme colorful tops they are going to have.  Take a look at the fired pots, going to be full of flowers, and perhaps some fairies in some and blue jays in others.




Each ceramic (mini) vessel is signed in the clay and dated by me so you know its an original work of artistry.
