MATCH BOX SPELL BOOK

2012-02-09T13:57:00.000-08:00

I'VE BEEN PLAYING AROUND WITH ALTERED MATCHBOXES, AND CAME UP WITH AN IDEA USING MY FAVORITE "WITCH" SPEECH FROM SHAKESPEAR'S "MACBETH" ("Double double, toil & trouble.....")

INSIDE THE BOX, IS A SMALL, FOLD-OUT BOOK.

I'VE GOT LOTS MORE IDEAS FOR DIFFERENT THEMES, SO CHECK BACK LATER.

MORE APOTHECARY

2012-02-02T13:16:00.000-08:00

I SHARED MY WITCH'S APOTHECARY WITH MY ARTIST FRIENDS, AND THEY SUGGESTED PUTTING SOME DETAIL PHOTOS UP.
SO, HERE THEY ARE:

THESE BOTTLES ARE ALL NAIL POLISH BOTTLES, EXCEPT "EYE OF NEWT" - THAT'S FROM THE TIM HOLTZ COLLECTION.
"OCTOPUS INK" & "DRAUGHT OF LIVING DEATH" ARE THE POLISH THAT CAME IN THE BOTTLES. "SPIDER VENOM" IS DISH SOAP.
"EYE OF NEWT" ARE THESE FUNNY STYROFOAM BEADS THEY SELL TO PUT IN GLASS VASES. I DREW BLACK PUPILS ON THEM WITH A SHARPIE MARKER, AND PUT THEM IN THE BOTTLE WITH SOME VEGETABLE OIL.
I MADE ALL THE LABELS & TAGS ON THE COMPUTER.
THE JAW BONE IS FROM A MUSKRAT SKULL I HAD FROM ANOTHER PROJECT.

"ASHES OF CROW" IS A VINTAGE BOTTLE MY FRIEND, NANCY, GAVE TO ME FOR THIS PROJECT. THAT'S A METAL BIRD SKULL ON THE TOPPER - A PIECE OF JEWELRY I HAD FOR YEARS.
"PIXIE TEARS" & "VAMPIRE BLOOD" ARE NAIL POLISH BOTTLES. I GLUED JEWELED PIECES TO THE "TEARS" BOTTLE, AND PUT GREEN MIDORI LIQUEUR IN IT. THE "BLOOD" IS OIL & FOOD COLORING.
"MERMAID SCALES" IS A TIM HOLTZ BOTTLE WITH GREEN SEQUINS IN IT.
THE TINY LIQUEUR GLASS I FOUND AT THE THRIFT STORE. THE FAKE EGG CAME FROM THE CRAFT STORE.

"LIFE RENEWAL POTION" BOTTLE IS MADE FROM WOODEN CANDLE HOLDERS GLUED TOGETHER & A BROKEN EARRING GLUED TO THE NECK.
I STITCHED THE VOODOO DOLL & STAINED IT WITH INK.
THE "COFFIN NAILS" IS A SHOT GLASS FROM THE THRIFT STORE (WITH SOME RUSTY NAILS IN IT).
THE SKULL IS A PLASTIC PARTY FAVOR I BOUGHT AT HALLOWEEN & DRIPPED RED CANDLE WAX OVER IT.
THE PENDULUM IS MADE FROM A FEW BEADS STRUNG TOGETHER.

I'LL BE TEACHING THIS AS A CLASS AT "CHINA PHOENIX 2" IN A MONTH OR TWO. -- CHECK OUT THEIR BLOG HERE.http://chinaphoenix2.blogspot.com/

APOTHECARY

2012-01-30T14:51:00.000-08:00

FOR THE MOST PART, MY WITCH'S APOTHECARY IS FINISHED (I MIGHT STILL TWEAK IT A BIT). I ADDED MORE STUFF: SOME WITCH PHOTOS (DEAR, DEPARTED AUNTIES) A BEETLE, CANDLES, SOME AMULETS, A PENDULUM, & OTHER GHOULISH STUFF ALONG WITH THE POTION BOTTLES I MADE.

WITCH'S APOTHECARY

2012-01-27T12:28:00.000-08:00

I STARTED WORKING ON A "FUN" PROJECT, JUST FOR ME (BUT, MIGHT TURN INTO A CLASS, LATER). I'M MAKING A WITCH'S APOTHECARY SHADOW BOX.

I FOUND THIS SHADOW/TREASURE BOX AT HOBBY LOBBY (ON SALE!). IT HAS A HINGED GLASS COVER ON IT.

SO, I TOOK THE GLASS LID OFF AND ADDED SOME WOOD MOLDING AROUND THE EDGES. PLUS, ADDED A LITTLE WOODEN ORNAMENT ON THE TOP EDGE, AND GLUED PLASTIC SKULL BEADS IN THE CORNERS.

I TEXTURED THE WHOLE THING WITH TISSUE PAPER, GAUZE, & MODELING PASTE (WITH TINY GLASS BEADS IN IT). I PAINTED IT WITH GREENS, BLUES & PURPLES, WITH BLACK STAIN OVER EVERYTHING.

I GLUED DIFFERENT "CREEPY" PAPERS TO THE BACK OF EACH BOX, WITH SOME VINTAGE MEDICAL IMAGES AS WELL. EVERYTHING GOT AGED WITH "DISTRESS" INKS AND STAMPINGS.

NOW, I'M COLLECTING THINGS TO PUT INSIDE IT. I STARTED MAKING SOME POTION BOTTLES:

I'M HAVING TONS OF FUN DECORATING & AGING EACH BOTTLE -- PLUS, DECIDING WHAT TO PUT INSIDE THE BOTTLES AND MAKING LABELS FOR THEM.

FINDING BOTTLES SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT IN THE BOXES ARE A CHALLENGE. I BOUGHT SOME TINY GLASS BOTTLE MADE BY TIM HOLTZ, BUT THEY'RE BASICALLY ALL THE SAME SHAPES. A TRIP TO THE DOLLAR STORE SOLVED THAT WITH SOME UNUSUAL BOTTLES THAT HAD NAIL POLISH IN THEM. ALSO, I'M MAKING THE ROUNDS TO THE THRIFT STORES, AND FINDING SOME GREAT STUFF. (THE "COFFIN NAILS" CONTAINER IS A SHOT GLASS FROM THE GOODWILL.)

Day of the Dead Shrine

2012-01-11T08:18:00.000-08:00

MY FRIEND, GYPSY PAMELA, COMMISSIONED ME TO MAKE HER A "DAY OF THE DEAD" SHRINE FOR HER VENDOR BOOTH. SHE BOUGHT THE BOAT SHELF & ASKED ME TO MAKE A CATRINA DOLL TO SIT ON THE TOP. (SHE SENT ME THE "BOAT" PART, BUT NOT THE SHELVES THAT GO INSIDE.) SHE TOLD ME TO MAKE HER "FESTIVE-LOOKING" WITH LOTS OF COLOR.

IT'S ABOUT 36 IN. TALL. THE DOLL TORSO IS ABOUT 14" TALL.

PAMELA WANTS TO FILL THE SHELVES WITH HER DAY OF THE DEAD MERCHANDISE.

"DIVA" CLASS

2012-01-03T12:53:00.000-08:00

JUST FINISHED THE CLASS SAMPLE FOR A NEW "CANDLESTICK DIVA" CLASS I'M TEACHING IN FLORIDA NEXT MONTH. I'M JOINING THE LOVELY LADIES OF THE STITCHIN' SISTERS DOLL CLUB IN TAMPA.

Craft show

2011-12-04T09:16:00.000-08:00

I DID A LOCAL CRAFT SHOW LAST WEEKEND, AT THE MONTE VISTA SCHOOL. I WANTED TO MAKE SOME SMALL PRICED ITEMS TO SELL. SO, I CAME UP WITH THESE EXOTIC "TURKISH" PINCUSHIONS:

MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEY WERE PINCUSHIONS - JUST "SQUAT-TY" DOLLS WITH NO FEET!

HERE ARE SOME BUBBLING CAULDRON PINCUSHIONS LEFT OVER FROM HALLOWEEN:

HERE I AM WITH MY FRIEND, KIT STEIN -- WHO MAKES WONDERFUL HOMEMADE SOAPS & HAND CREMES. TO SAVE MONEY, WE DECIDED TO SHARE A TABLE TOGETHER. AS YOU CAN SEE, I MADE SOME MORE SOX MONSTER DOLLS, AND BROUGHT ALONG SOME CATRINA & DIVA DOLLS TO SELL.

ART BOX CHALLENGE

2011-11-20T16:43:00.000-08:00

8 MONTHS AGO, 7 MIXED MEDIA ARTISTS GOT TOGETHER FOR AN "ART BOX" ROUND ROBIN. WE ARE A GROUP OF FRIENDS THAT MEET AT THE STAMP & PAPER SHOP, "CHINA PHOENIX 2" FOR A WEEKLY "OPEN STUDIO DAY", HERE IN ABQ, NM.

THE CHALLENGE WAS TO GET A BOX, DECORATE IT, AND PICK A THEME FOR YOUR BOX. EACH BOX WAS PASSED AROUND EVERY MONTH, SO EACH ARTIST CREATED A WORK OF ART FOR EACH OF THE BOXES. EACH ARTIST HAD TO CREATE ART THAT WENT WITH THE THEME OF THE BOX THEY WERE GIVEN.

THE THEME I PICKED FOR MY BOX WAS "PANDORA'S BOX". THE IDEA WAS FOR EACH ARTIST TO CREATE SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THE EVILS HELD IN PANDORA'S BOX THAT SHE LET LOOSE ON THE WORLD.

MY HOPE WAS THAT EVERYONE WOULD MAKE SOME REAL "CREEPY" ART WORK -- THEY DIDN'T DISAPPOINT!

SO, HERE'S THE BOX I MADE:

IT'S MADE FROM A WOODEN BOX I FOUND AT HOBBY LOBBY. IT ALREADY HAD THE LATCHES, BRASS CORNERS, AND HANDLE. I ADDED THE (FALSE) KEY HOLE, STUDS, & "STRAPPING" (MADE OF FOLDED TEXTURE PAPER). I APPLIED VARIEGATED GOLD LEAF, STAINED WITH MANY LAYERS OF BLUES & GREENS.

AND, THE INSIDE, WITH SOME OF THE ARTWORK SPILLING OUT:

THIS PIECE WAS MADE BY NANCY HINES, A FIBER ARTIST, AND A POET. ON THE BOTTOM IS THE GOLD CORD THAT THE BOX OF EVIL WAS WRAPPED IN, AND A DEMON SPEWING THE TROUBLES & SORROWS OUT OF HIS MOUTH. NANCY

COLLAGE-ED MANY ELEMENTS OF FIBER, YARNS, METALLIC THREADS, PAINT & PAPER.

THIS PIECE WAS MADE BY KIT STEIN, DEPICTING PANDORA HOLDING THE BOX'S KEY, AND THE HOPE, (WHICH STILL LIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOX). KIT USED LOTS OF TEXTURES WITH PAPER & GAUZE, & COMBINED MANY ELEMENTS OF STAMPED IMAGES, PAINT, JEWELS, & FABRIC.

NEXT, FROM ELIZABETH FORBES, A STAMP ARTIST, THE SIN OF "VANITY" -- AND, HOW, NO MATTER HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU! LIZ USED A COMBINATION OF STAMPS, EMBOSSING POWDERS & JEWELS FOR HER IMAGE, ALONG WITH A PIECE OF ROTTING VELVET SHAWL, DISTRESSED PAPER TRIM, AND VINTAGE BEADED TRIM ON THE EDGE (I LOVE THAT SOME BEADS ARE MISSING!)

THIS PIECE IS BY NANCY YOSHIMOTO, A WONDERFUL STAMP & PAINT ARTIST (AND, OWNER OF "CHINA PHOENIX 2"). HER PIECE DEPICTS PANDORA OPENING THE BOX, AND THE 7 DEADLY SINS ESCAPING. NANCY SAID SHE WANTED TO USE A COLOR SCHEME THAT WAS PURPOSELY "UGLY & DISTURBING".

NANCY KREISHER, BOTH A MIXED MEDIA & DOLL ARTIST, MADE THIS PIECE TITLED, "JUST A PEEK". NANCY CREATED LOTS OF TEXTURE WITH TISSUE PAPERS & PAINT. ONE STORY OF PANDORA STATES SHE HAD A JAR (NOT A BOX), SO NANCY INCLUDED A DIMENSIONAL MASON JAR HOLDING IMAGES OF EVIL.

HERE'S A PIECE BY STAMP ARTIST CHERYL VALADEZ, TITLED "SEVEN DEADLY SINS" REPRESENTING: WRATH, GREED, SLOTH, PRIDE, LUST, ENVY, & GLUTTONY. SHE ASKS THE QUESTION: "WHICH SIN IS YOUR FAVORITE?" CHERYL LOVES LAYERING STAMPED IMAGES, WITH LOTS OF DIAMOND GLAZE & GLITTER FOR ACCENT.

AND, LASTLY, HERE'S MY PIECE FOR MY BOX. IT'S AN IMAGE OF AN EVIL SPIRT FLOATING OUT INTO THE WORLD. I WANTED TO USE A TECHNIQUE FROM A MAGAZINE, USING GAUZE, GLUE, & PAINT TO CREATE A "SPIRIT" IMAGE.

NEW DOLL FOR "AMBER WAVES" CLASS

2011-11-14T10:34:00.000-08:00

I MADE A NEW SAMPLE DOLL FOR MY "AMBER WAVES" CLASS IN OHIO NEXT YEAR. THIS ONE IS ON A CANDLESTICK (INSTEAD OF POPPING OUT OF A CAKE).

CANDLESTICK DOLLS

2011-11-03T08:04:00.000-07:00

NEW PATTERN

2011-11-01T13:55:00.000-07:00

I MADE SOME CHANGES IN HER FACE, AND BOUGHT A WIG FOR HER (INSTEAD OF MAKING ONE MYSELF).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

MORE WITCHES

2011-10-28T10:02:00.000-07:00

I'VE BEEN REAL BUSY GETTING DOLLS FINISHED TO GO TO THE HOUSTON QUILT SHOW. YOU CAN SEE MY DOLLS AT THE "TREASURES OF THE GYPSY" BOOTH. SAY "HI" TO MY PAL PAMELA WHEN YOU'RE THERE.

HERE'S A WITCH HEAD I FINISHED FROM MY CLASS A FEW WEEKS AGO:

FUNNY, SHE HAS PURPLE FEATHER HAIR, BUT MY CAMERA MADE IT LOOK BLUE?

HERE'S A DAY-OF-THE-DEAD WITCH ("LA BRUJA") FOR THE TOME GALLERY IN LOS LUNAS, NM:

HER BASE IS A BLACK CANDLESTICK. (SORRY ABOUT THE BAD PHOTOS -- I HAVEN'T LEARNED THE TRICK TO PHOTOGRAPH BLACK AGAINST WHITE - BUT SHE'S ALL CLOTH- INCLUDING THE SKULL & HANDS)

WITCH CLASS

2011-10-03T14:29:00.000-07:00

I TAUGHT A "WITCH HEAD" CLASS THIS PAST WEEKEND AT "CHINA PHOENIX 2" STAMP/PAPER STORE.

I MADE SOME SAMPLE HEADS TO DEMONSTRATE EACH OF THE STEPS. THIS HEAD I SCULPTED IN CLASS:

THIS HEAD I USED TO DEMONSTRATE PAINTING:

THIS HEAD I ALMOST FINISHED IN CLASS. MY FRIEND, EMMA, TOOK THE CLASS AND ENDED UP BUYING THIS HEAD, SO I TOOK IT HOME TO FINISH IT UP FOR HER:

HERE ARE SOME OF THE STUDENT'S WORK:

HEY, ANYONE HAVE THE CLASS GROUP PHOTO? EMAIL IT TO ME!

TEATRO DE LOS MUERTOS

2011-09-28T17:45:00.000-07:00

JUST FINISHED THIS TODAY. TOTAL HEIGHT IS 21". THE LITTLE SKELETON PUPPETS ARE 5" TALL.

NEW PUPPET DOLL IN PROGRESS

2011-09-27T06:56:00.000-07:00

I'M WORKING ON A NEW DOLL, TITLED "TEATRO DE LOS MUERTOS" (THEATER OF THE DEAD). IT'S INSPIRED BY THE WONDERFUL WORK OF DOLL ARTIST NANCY WILEY.

HERE'S THE BASIC CATRINA BODY, WITH HEAD & ARMS PINNED ON, AND THE HAND-PAINTED BACKDROP FOR THE PUPPETS:

HERE, I'VE ADDED THE SKIRT WITH TRIMS. THE WRITING ON THE BACKDROP SAYS "LA GUERRA ENTRE EL BIEN Y EL MAL" (THE WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL), WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE PUPPET PLAY THE CATRINA IS PERFORMING.

THE LITTLE SKELETON PUPPETS ARE MADE OF WIRE & PAPER CLAY:

HERE'S THE BODICE & SLEEVES FINISHED:

NEW CATRINAS

2011-09-24T12:21:00.000-07:00

I JUST FINISHED 2 MORE CATRINAS FOR THE TOME' GALLERY IN LOS LUNAS, NM. THEY ARE HAVING A "DAY OF THE DEAD" SHOW AT THE END OF OCTOBER.

FAIRY GODMOTHER

2011-09-04T16:00:00.000-07:00

OKAY, SHE'S PRETTY MUCH FINISHED. I PINNED SOME HAIR ON HER HEAD, TO GET AN IDEA. THE WIG SHOULD BE COMING NEXT WEEK.

NEW DOLL - FAIRY GODMOTHER

2011-09-02T12:06:00.000-07:00

I'VE STARTED A NEW DOLL - A FAIRY GODMOTHER. I'M MAKING THIS FOR A CLASS PROPOSAL FOR NEXT SUMMER.

HERE'S THE BASIC BODY -- THE LEGS ARE CUT "IN ONE" WITH THE TORSO.

ADDED BLOOMERS & A PETTICOAT MADE OF COARSE NETTING.

HERE I'VE ADDED 2 SKIRTS -- AN UNDERSKIRT OF LIME SATIN, AND AN OVER SKIRT OF A SPIDERWEB NETTING IN GREEN WITH FLECKS OF METALLIC AND COLORED YARNS IN IT (VERY COOL FABRIC - I FOUND IT YEARS AGO AT HOBBY LOBBY, I THINK.)

HERE I'VE ADDED SOME HIP "POUFS" (THE CORRECT NAME ARE "PANNIERS" - IT'S FRENCH!) IN AN ORANGE ORGANDY. THE BODICE IS OF ORANGE SATIN WITH A FRONT INSERT (IT'S CALLED A "STOMACHER") THAT I'VE LAYERED WITH AN OVERLAY OF SOME GREEN SHEER SEQUIN RIBBON, AND ADDED SOME CRISS-CROSS LACING. ALSO ADDED SOME GATHERED ORANGE LACE AROUND HER WAIST.

--SHE'S GETTING VERY ROUND AND PUFFY!

SORRY -- I WAS IN THE "ZONE" AND FORGOT TO STOP AND TAKE SOME MORE PHOTOS OF THE BODICE IN PROGRESS.

I'VE SEWN THE ARMS ON, AND ADDED THE SLEEVES, MADE OF THE SAME ORGANDY AS THE HIP POUFS. I'M WORKING ON THE PATTERN FOR HER CROWN THAT I'VE PINNED TO HER HEAD.

NEXT, I HAVE TO DO THE NEEDLE-SCULPTING AND PAINTING OF THE FACE, AND ADD A WIG.

FINISHED FORTUNE TELLER

2011-08-26T09:53:00.000-07:00

FORTUNE TELLER WIP

2011-08-23T10:20:00.000-07:00

I GOT THE FORTUNE TELLER BOOTH PUT TOGETHER. I MADE IT OUT OF FOAM CORE (WHICH IS PRETTY TRICKY TO CUT IN NICE CLEAN LINES!). I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO FINISH THE INSIDE OF EACH WALL BEFORE PUTTING IT TOGETHER. (HONESTLY, SOMETIMES I SCARE MYSELF WITH MY OWN BRILLIANCE.....)

AFTER I GLUED & TAPED IT TOGETHER, I GAVE IT A BASE COAT OF GESSO.

I COVERED THE BACK WALL WITH SOME COOL GOLD EMBOSSED PAPER, EDGED WITH EMBROIDERED RIBBON, AND A VELVET SWAG FINISHED WITH TASSEL TRIM. THE SIDE WALLS ARE PAPERED IN A DUSTY BLUE PATTERN.

ALL THAT'S LEFT IS TO FINISH PAINTING THE OUTSIDE, AND DO THE GRAPHICS FOR THE SIGNS.

HERE'S THE CONCEPT DRAWING: (I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SHOWN THIS IN THE BEGINNING -- OKAY, SO I'M NOT ALWAYS SMART......)

FORTUNE TELLER

2011-08-21T12:16:00.000-07:00

I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE FORTUNE TELLER'S COSTUME & JEWELRY. (I ALWAYS DO THE COSTUME BEFORE THE FACE -- I HAVE MORE FUN WITH THE COSTUME.) HER TOP IS MADE FROM A POLYESTER CREPE SCARF.

SHE'S SHORT BECAUSE SHE GOES INSIDE THE FORTUNE TELLER BOOTH. ONCE INSIDE, YOU ONLY SEE HER FROM THE WAIST UP -- IT LOOKS LIKE SHE SITTING.

FORTUNE TELLER DOLL

2011-08-19T12:31:00.000-07:00

I'm starting a new doll -- a Gypsy Fortune Teller Doll & Booth. Here's the work-in-progress:

The cardboard is just a mock-up for size & scale. The real one will be made of foam core.

Pregnant Catrina

2011-07-26T22:50:00.000-07:00

A customer had commissioned a special Candlestick Catrina: she wanted a pregnant Catrina.

Yes, not only is she pregnant, but she is also smoking a cigarette. This woman collects pregnant Catrina's (I have never seen a pregnant one before), and had seen a Candlestick Catrina I made, dressed in the leopard print & smoking a cigarette, and asked for one just like it -- only pregnant. I double checked with her about the cigarette, and that's what she wanted!

BTW - Notice the cool cameo on her chest -- it's a silhouette of a "dead" woman. My buddy, Annie from Colorado gave that to me.

A witch becomes a pirate

2011-07-20T10:13:00.000-07:00

Okay, so I started out sculpting another witch head. While I was sculpting, one of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies was on the TV in the other room. (Really, I like those movies, but doesn't it seem like they show them almost every weekend??) Well, somehow the witch became a pirate while listening to the movie in the background.

I've never made a pirate before, but I guess pirates are like witches -- you can't really sculpt a "bad" one - the uglier it is, the better!

Catrina Day of the Dead Candlestick

2011-07-17T19:43:00.000-07:00

I've been making these Catrina Candlestick dolls for a year. Gypsy Pamela sells them for me at fabric & doll conventions. They're made of fabric (not sculpted of clay).

I start by making the torso, head, & arms. The torso is glued to the top of a candlestick.

I finish the head & hands before I assemble the body.

The torso gets dressed, and the arms get sleeves. Then, the arms are stitched to the torso.

The head is attached last.

My favorite part is making Catrina's hat.

A fringe skirt is added, with some beaded skull dangles.

One more accessory, and Catrina is done. --What can I say? I love feather boas!

Sox-a-Doodles

2011-07-11T12:54:00.000-07:00

Here are some new "Sox-a-Doodle" dolls I've been making. I've probably made over a hundred of these guys over the past few years. My friend, Gypsy Pamela (of "Treasures of the Gypsy") sells them for me in her fabric booth. She'll be in Austin TX, July 29 to 31 for the ADAA doll confererence.

These sox monsters are made from the very colorful soxs from Solmate Socks, made in Vermont. The idea of the monsters came from the book, "Stupid Sock Creatures" by John Murphy.

MORE WITCHES

2011-07-06T14:03:00.000-07:00

Here are some more Witch Heads I just finished. They will go onto Etsy for sale (as soon as I can get an Etsy account set up!!)

Have Fun!

Witch Busts

2011-07-04T14:01:00.000-07:00

I've made some Witch Busts for a class at China Phoenix Stamp Store (here in Abq). It's a 2-day class Oct 1 & 2.

My new blog

2011-07-01T14:57:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my first blog.
