Yesterday we pruned a cherry tree in our back yard. So I decided to do some freeform building and built a trellis from those branches with some nails, twine and weaving. My boys helped a lot and later picked and wove in dandelion flowers. This is going to be a wonderful hide out with all the peas and pole beans growing over it.

"Acorn Magic" is a little steampunk sculpture that lights up. That is a real oak twig that has the little acorn tops still attached to the branch. I attached beads and watch faces in the cavities and then sculpted a tiny winged creature out of found objects and wire. At the base of the piece is a tiny vacuum tube that lights up with the flick of a switch. This is 8.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

Firefly by Autumn Steam
"Firefly" Mixed Media Sculpture Lighting, 7.5 x 2 in, 2014.
I finally finished this piece. I wanted to make a little steampunk faery made out of pearls and watch parts. As I was assembling the little creature I thought about where I wanted to put it. It was too fragile to be jewelry so I decided it needed to be on display. I found this old hand blown glass vile that fit it just perfectly. So I carved a copper tube and wired in a little flickering light as a tiny pedestal. The glass and copper are held fast by a hand turned brass base. How wonderful would this be as a display piece on a mantel or for a steampunk Christmas.

"Steampunk Bee" Found Object Mixed Media Sculpture, 4.5x2 inches, 2014.
Yesterday and today I worked on a new Steampunk inspired sculpture. I decided to make a bee. So I strung together some beads from old pieces of jewelry, attached feet, wings, eyes and other bee elements and mounted it on a golden rose. The bee and the rose then were mounted in a broken vacuum tube and mounted in a hand turned hardwood base. The result is this enchanting little bee resting on a flower. So much love went into this little sculpture.

Wild Women Show: Luck Be A Lady

Later on this evening my friends and I went to the reception for the Wild Woman Show. What a turn out! The gallery was packed with very little room to move around. Now that's what I like to see! My piece was hanging behind the cashier so it was difficult to see the detail. For those of you that wanted to see a better close up I added a photo below. This piece will be hanging until March 2nd. Please, go see it if you have a chance.

Today I created just to create. I have been dealing with some serious writers block which has turned to a creative block. I think I am putting too much pressure on myself with this project and my life. It is really hard for me to post something EVERY DAY. That alone has frustrated me. So I have worked myself up to this spiral of doubt.

This piece is a mixed media piece made out of paper I painted. It is a paper sculpture with thread. It is completely free form with no real purpose. I just wanted to see something come to life. There are 4 little cards hanging from some of the strings. It says "I am so confused lately. My mind is a jumble of thoughts, ideas and emptiness. It is frustrating. I can't stop creating, but nothing inspires me. I need a project or commission. I need to just calm down and not put so much pressure on myself. Your ideas are good enough. The right story will come to you. Then you need time." This piece isn't for anything particular. It was just an exercise to organize my thoughts. A bit of art therapy.
