James Dee, Marcel Duchamp, Carroll Dunham, India Evans, John Evans, Robert Forman, Neil Gall, Kathleen Gilje, Guerrilla Girls, Nancy Grossman, Barbara Hammer, Jane Hammond, Stanley William Hayter, Sandra Vásquez de la Horra, David Humphrey, Paul Joostens, Pamela Joseph, Mel Kendrick, Elisabeth Kley, Jeff Koons, Mark Kostabi, Sherrie Levine, Henri Maccheroni, Chema Madoz, Gerard Malanga, Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, Marcel Mariën, André Masson, Sophie Matisse, Ana Mendieta, Allyson Mitchell, Cathy de Monchaux, Wangechi Mutu, Gladys Nilsson, Yoko Ono, Pablo Picasso, Chloe Piene, Richard Prince, Daniel Ranalli, Oona Ratcliffe, Katia Santibanez, Peter Saul, Naomi Savage, Carolee Schneemann, Mira Schor, Michelle Segre, Tom Shannon, James Siena, Laurie Simmons, Kiki Smith, Nancy Spero, Betty Tompkins, Kiyoshi Tsuchiya, John Tweddle, Tabitha Vevers, Douglas Vogel, Robert Watts, Hannah Wilke, Terry Winters, and Beatrice Wood.
THE VISIBLE VAGINA is an exhibition jointly organized by Francis M. Naumann and David Nolan. It is scheduled to open at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art (24 West 57th Street) and at David Nolan Gallery (527 West 29th Street) on January 28, 2010. Both shows will run concurrently, ending on March 20, 2010.
As the title of the exhibition suggests, the show is designed to make visible a portion of the female anatomy that is generally considered taboo―too private and intimate for public display. If shown at all, this part of a woman's body is usually presented in an abject fashion, generally within the context of pornography, intended, in almost all cases, for the exclusive pleasure of men. The goal of this exhibition is to remove these prurient connotations, implicit even in works of art, ever since the pudendum was prudishly covered by a fig leaf. This gesture of false modesty, it should be noted, was devised and enforced entirely by men (not only in the case of classical sculpture, but also in the Bible, in which, immediately after their disobedience in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve cover their genitalia with fig leaves). Indeed, until recently, men made virtually all depictions of the frontal nude female figure, but as this exhibition will demonstrate, that has changed dramatically in recent years.
The catalogue for THE VISIBLE VAGINA will trace this motif in art history from prehistoric to modern times. It includes an introduction by the exhibition organizers, as well as a highly informative and provocative essay by Anna C. Chave, Professor of Contemporary Art and Theory at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Inspiration for both the show and its catalogue came from Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, a stage play that premiered off-Broadway in 1996, and was followed by various productions throughout the world (it appeared as a book in 1998). Ensler gave voice to countless women worldwide, honoring the complexity and mystery of their sexuality, basically encouraging them to consider their vaginas as powerful and expressive components of their physical selves, something not to be ashamed of, but to be proudly protected as an assertive and positive manifestation of their being. The idea for this show came from realizing that there was no better group to give vision to this goal than artists, many of whom had already incorporated imagery of the vagina in their works. Because of Ensler's pioneering work in this field, the catalogue is dedicated to her, and proceeds from its sale shall be donated to V-Day, the organization she founded to end violence against women and girls throughout the world. Price: $27.50.
EVENT
Panel discussion with artists in the exhibition, moderated by Anna Chave, will take place on Saturday, January 30, from 2-4 pm at David Nolan Gallery. We hope you will be able to join us.

and found these candles from kindergarden and the first grades.
Alexandra got the one with her name from the kindergardenteacher for her birthday. About the others, I don't know. Just know that my daughters are now 19 and 21 :-)

Collage with vintage botanical images and sketches on unbleached tissue. "Glued" together with beeswax. Not exactly what I was planning for this one -- the sketches on the tissue didn't align well with the plant images underneath. Better planning next time!
Loved ones birthday coming up soon?
Going to be making a wish and blowing out the birthday cake candles?
Why not blow out some handmade beeswax birthday candles instead of parrafin, and breath cleaner air in the process?
Beeswax collage for the month of November.
A new "Paris" series.
A few new techniques.
Some classroom samples, Etsy, and Holiday pieces.
I have finally begun making my all natural candle designs. Each is one of a kind. All creations are made of stone, wood and flora found in my explorations of the country and my candles are made of pure soy or beeswax. message me if you would like to purchase one of my candles :)
Beeswax your thread then iron it flat in a piece of tracing paper or tissue paper. This makes the thread slide though the leather and helps keep it from tangling as you work.
Best needles are Glover's or sharps' these are made for sewing leathers and vinyl
100% Beeswax Candle with Wood Wick. The candle creates a unique light and crackles when lit.
Starting Bid: $15
Minimum Raise: $2
Homemade deodorant without baking soda:
1/3 cup of coconut oil
1/3 cup cocoa butter (you can also use shea or mango butter or any mix of these)
1/3 cup beeswax
1/3 cup of arrowroot flour
Heat all of these in double boiler(I made it from glass bowl on top of the small pot with water on the bottom-not touhing the bowl)on low heat until they are all melted. Take off the heat, add
* 2 teaspoons of comfrey oil(I made it myself by steeping dried comfrey leaves in olive oil for a month)
a few capsules of vit. E( for preserving it)
about 20 drops of Tea Tree, lemon, lavender essential oils and oil of oregano
Mix it and pour into empty clean scrolled down deodorant sticks. That amount made 2 sticks and I had left over, which I poured into my soap molds since I didn’t have more sticks. I am using one stick and others went into the fridge.
I found similar recipe online(sorry, don't remember where), but added different essential oils and added comfrey oil since it is very healing and I had some. Not sure, if it affects the way it works. Deodorant works well, and stays solid, but I will try next time to reduce wax, so it would be easier to apply, but not much less since it has to stay on in order to work.
UPDATE: it works well on regular days, but not too long on hiking or biking days, so while I still use it, I also dab milk of magnesia first in those cases. Milk of magnesia by itself works, but the trick is to make it stay on since it is liquid, and deodorant helps with that.

For one of my swap partners in the Faerie Zine swap. A small beeswax collage with dresden, vintage lace, old time images and scrap. Easter Greetings!
This is a body-friendly, aluminum-free, preservative-free deodorant.
If you're like me, you're fed up of using store-bought deodorants/antiperspirants that do more harm than good. And if your also like me, the natural salt-crystal deodorants only last for so long on hot, humid days before they drip away
This deodorant is made with natural body-friendly ingredients that won't clog pores, but also won't leave you clogging other peoples noses with your body odor!
DIY workshop that shows students how to use beeswax wrap as a reusable and sustainable alternative to plastic wrap and single-use plastic containers. Workshop was held at 11am and 2pm on Nov. 18, 2019. Presented by the Student Activity Board.
