New Stuff Today.
Monster High Fan Spectra and Frankie!
Also my Disney Store Order just arrived. I love love love my new Jack Skellington Mugs. The slim one with the silver J and the Rhinestones is just for Deco. But the other one will be my new ever used Mug.
Rapunzel sings her song and has amazing Hair. It feels a lot like Ariels Hair so this Nylon is one of the better ones. But i will switch the Body with the Mandy Moore Doll (skin match perfect) and so i have a singing Mandy Moore.
But before that Mandy will get a reroot to become brunette.
And Hans. He looks gorgeous (thit i spell it right? im in the hurry so whatever!).
But is it normal that he has so many freckles in his face?
In the Movie i can´t remeber any.
I not sure where all this stuff comes from.
Iv been walking for weeks without resting.
The stuff seems to fall from the sky.
last night i thought i saw another human being,
but i cant be sure, the stuff is everywhere.
My son and i made these together. Much to my chagrin he did not want to eat them! ha ha i was not suprised i have to say. The inside was made with cheddar cheese, butter, milk and salt & pepper mashed with the potatoe insides and put back into the skins of the potatoe.
1 week to go. Pulling things together. Need to make a list of missing odds and ends...couple of tubes , fresh patches etc.

Meet Stuart Alan Lerner ~ Found Object Metal Sculptor ~
What I remember most about Stuart is his heart-warming story of wanting to live closer to his children and grandchildren here in Connecticut. For many years, he and his wife would travel from Long Island, New York, looking for the perfect spot to settle down. When he found the "barn" which houses his awesome studio/gallery and unique workshop, the house was a secondary consideration! He said, "The house came with the barn!"
There is a fabulous tale behind every whimsical sculpture, but more fascinating to me was the paraphernalia behind the scenes . . . the found objects, aka junk/stuff which neatly found places on the gorgeous wooden floor in the room adjoining his gallery.
We felt privileged to be invited into his storehouse of treasures, many of which were dropped off by friends who couldn't wait to see if their specific find would get transformed into a work of art!
At one point, while Stuart was bending down on the floor (see image below), he realized a piece was missing! Honestly, we all just held our breath while his wife confessed she had been cleaning up before the open studio! Moments later my husband miraculously found the "arm" a few feet away!
Please take a moment to visit his website(click here) for an exciting exhibition and to read how "it all began in 1978 when Stuart Alan Lerner walked into the maintenance department of his textile processing plant and saw, sitting on a work table, two pieces of metal that looked like shoes. He found some pipes which became legs, and completed the little robot in about a week, not knowing this would be the start of a 30-year passion in creativity and sculpture.
He travels extensively to antique shows, scrap metal yards, town dumps, barns, tag and garage sales to buy unusual metal pieces and everyday metallic items to use in his whimsical sculptures and flower vases." (these words are paraphrased from his website) . . .
After I send this link to him, I'm sure I'll have added information. My mind was a bit fuzzy after being on the Artist's Tour along the shoreline, with this being our last stop before heading home late afternoon. We could have stayed here forever, enthralled by the enthusiasm Stuart exuded every time he picked up another found object!
“Sculpture and painting have the effect of teaching us manners and abolishing hurry.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
Lerner is a TRUE artist in that he only makes 7 or 8 pieces a year, as he is not into mass production!
12/2/2010 update: Just received a phone call from Stuart who is overjoyed with this interview! Keep the kudos coming everyone! It totally boggles my mind that 4 out of 6 people I've featured have all gotten back to me with such grateful kindness, either by phone, "e" OR snail mail!
This was in front of an East Front Street bargain store. The phone was not for sale.
I took this during the Christmas Holidays with an Olympus Stylus 120 on Cinestill 50D.
