It’s a cat’s life.

Fuzzy

Fuzzy…no, I’m not talking about my brain, although that spends quite a lot of time being fuzzy. No, today’s post is about fuzzy things in my life. Mostly dogs and cats, but also the sculpture I just finished. I am pretty wordless today…okay, maybe my brain is a bit fuzzy, at least the verbal part, so I thought I would just let you enjoy these fuzzy pictures. I mean pictures of fuzzy things.

If you want more information about the sculpture/vessel/basket, hop on over to my website. Or you can skip over to my blog, Studio Chatter.

Okay, it’s official, the musk ox (Tundra) has won Best in Show, Other Materials in the Mankato, MN City Walk sculpture tour. What an honor! I am so grateful to the powers that be in Mankato as well as all the residents of that fair city.

In other news, I am almost done with woven vessel number three, and I thought I would post a sneak peek at what it’s gonna look like.

lots of texture

And finally, I was reading an article about some graffiti artists who went to the Gulag Heights between Israel and Syria (a no man’s land that Israel has annexed but remains a battle ground between the two countries). What caught my eye was this picture done by the graffiti artist Chemis.  She is about nine or ten feet tall and was painted on the side of a hospital wall.

It is no secret that I love good graffiti art. I know there are many who deem it ugly, a nuisance and a crime, but I love seeing how these guys can use walls as their canvas and spray paint as their medium. I use spray paint on my sculptures and it is incredibly difficult to be precise with it. These guys take graffiti to a whole new level.

Here is a video showing Chemis working on a piece. I find it fascinating. You can also check out his face book page which has lots of pictures of his work.

Tree House

Okay, I can’t stand it anymore…I have to share my newest piece with all of you.

It’s called Tree House and it seemed to take forever to finish, probably because I had to weave, unweave, weave, unweave…you get the picture.

So here’s a sneak peek, for the whole piece run, don’t walk, over to my website!!!
