Doll assemblage

I made this doll assemblage in a sculpture class at Hazelhurst art centre in Gymea Sydney. I found a doll in Vinnies shop and dismantled it. I also found the trinket box in the same store and assembled the parts to form a wall sculpture with a real tree branch growing from the dolls head and a real nest in the fork of the branch. There is a little bird ceramic sitting on the shoulder and the head and a cut glass bird hanging down from the branch that I bought from a local glass artist.

What is your interpretation of this art piece?

Crochet plastic bag finished!

Finally here is the finished bag. It took many plastic bags to make it but 

it was bags of fun and very easy to make.

If you are a dedicated recycler like me this is a great way

to reuse all those hideous plastic shopping bags although I had to ask 

friends to supply me with bags as I only use green shopping bags!

Plastic Bag Crochet

I've started to crochet with plastic bag yarn to reduce the amount of bags that get sent to landfill. I don't think I will ever run out of yarn!

One Day at a Time

Here's the latest art project using a motivational saying, also a exercise in layering colours, textures and stencils. Sometimes just getting through one day at a time is all it takes!

Clay house for a tea-light candle

I recently made a house for a tea-light candle from airdry clay for a group activity. Very simple process, you just roll the clay into a flat slab then cut out the sides of the house using a template

Clay Bell

This clay bell was made in an art group I facilitated on the theme of using the sound of the bell to meditate on and to focus the mind on this moment. The clay disc at the top of the bell reads 'Breathe' and the letter beads spell out 'Today'. I carved a wave design into the bell and used an old earring for the chime, a peacock feather made from metal.

Words of Wisdom

I made this wire hanging by covering flexible wire with wool and adding

decorate finishes like a fabric lace doiley, feathers, shells, pearl beads, letter beads (saying 'take a risk') to create an art piece to inspire 'Courage' when I need it! Everyday then...
