Fetishes of Mine

Among the many, many things I enjoy is sculpture.  I created these guys a few years ago with a papier mache mash.  You can see the "pitting" in the faces.  Unfortunately, it's from little bugs that also really enjoyed them.  (The mash mixture is in part, made of flour, glue and paper).  I am determined to figure out a recipe that will not attract bugs.

In the meantime, enjoy these pictures.  Scroll down through the whole page.  It's under construction, so please bear with me.  I'm very excited about adding this page.

My two guys, just hangin'.  They crack me up.  While they're being created, I never know what they want to be.  I let them "tell me" who they will be and I just "watch" as they "become."

"Mi' Lady."  It's unusual that I don't have names for these guys yet.  Although I do refer to them as my "Ugly Heads."  Can you tell my inspiration is Monty Python's Terry Gilliam???  LOVE Monty Python!!  Terry was the only American in the group.  He was "Patsy" in The Holy Grail who smacked the empty coconut shells together for the horse running sound effects.  Hysterical!

By the way, she's obviously not done.  The top of her head is not yet painted.  The plan is to have these guys fully formed, with a body and probably set up with some sort of scene, knowing me.  I sort of see her with a mop, another character I love is in the beginning/end credits of the Carol Burnett show, the cartoon of her mopping and scratching that we all can relate to.

Fetishes of Mine.
(lol--some)

 

 Working on my site.  Being alone---sometimes.  Creating.  Being in my "mode."  Creating while I'm driving and doing dishes and laundry.  People who are bored absolutely perplex me.  Hematite beads from Michaels because they are magnetic and I have them in my coat pocket and I play with them while I'm standing in line. 

"Laugh In."  Lilly Tomlin is awesome and so is Goldie Hawn.                Being Catholic and the 10 Commandments.   MUSEUMS.             Thrilling my customers.     MONTY PYTHON!

Fabric Remnants.  "Classic" Alternative Music from the 70's - 90's.  From Blondie's "Rapture" on....Parallel Lines (Blonde Album, 1979).  Books on CD.  Proper grammar.  Call me on it, too, if you see errors.

On to more pics of my creations.... hope you're enjoying them.

The latest piece I'm working on for Andrea, my bride-to-be.  (October, 2011 is fast approaching).  Fetish: Tweeting.  Tweeted this page last night.

More to come, by the way.  "Ugly Head 3."  No name yet, quite unlike me not to have something named.  Feel free to Blog In and give me a suggestion.
