These five buffalos (or buggalos as some people might see them) will be part of my latest trickster piece "Coyote Frees the Buffalo"
some traditions never die. i've been doing these portraits w/ my 1st graders for about 13 years now. and every year i love them even more.
incase you don't know, the "100th day of school" is a big deal in most elementary schools. the kids celebrate and do lots of counting activities.
in art, we always do portraits. the kids imagine how they think they will look when they are 100. we embellish w/ gaudy jewely, flowers, wrinkles, grey hair and more.
we also attach a short story to them about what they'll do, where they will go, etc.
they are hilarious!! :) enjoy (and happy 102nd day of school! wooo!).
This steampunk necklace combines some unusual elements to create a steamy mood of mystery. It started with a wristwatch back plate to which I first added resin and watch parts before securely riveting it to an altered domino tile by fellow Etsy artist ingeniouslycreative. I especially wanted the eye to peer out of the back plate. There are 2 dangles for this one. The key, a familiar steampunk item has been wire-wrapped with a Swarovski rondelle and attached to the domino and the little crescent moon and star dangles gracefully from the watch piece. This pendant is on a 16" copper tone chain with a safety clasp. I am a trained, if somewhat steamy, silversmith and have built this piece to last.
My grandma used the same fork to beat eggs/cakes etc over about 50 years - hence the worn shape.
Made in workshop with Walter Nottingham.

Oh World Egg… Hear Me
This is an assemblage I created from great old industrial stop/ start switch box with old wire curling from the top. I painted the cloth covered wire with red, black and white paint. I added weird rusted wires and coils to the work and a little doll hand reaches out of the top. I have added strange text and images from a crumbling remnant of a book that I found on the street. The side has prickly iron thorny pieces I found in a old burnt house. The work stands strongly on its heavy metal coils
Participating in a small local art show with these three. You can go here to see close-ups before they were framed.

The original study was a bit naked and without context. This finished version rounds out the image.
