Art Attack Thursday!
You all know how nuts I am about clocks! I certainly talk about them often enough, do tons of projects using clock or time imagery, and I love love love to show you fabulous examples of clock art when I come across it.
Well, Eric Frietas’s clocks just take my breath away! Eric has […]
Don’t forget that there are dozens more wonderful books to stimulate your creativity or teach you a new technique…and the best of the best are listed in The Library. You can always find an up-to-date link to The Library in the “Pages” section in the right-hand sidebar of this blog!
Technique Tuesday!
It took several days to make Now, Not Later. First, there were a couple of steps that needed time to dry overnight before moving on, and second, it just took me awhile to figure out what all I wanted to include in the assemblage. I tend to pull out all my possible materials that […]
Make Art Monday!
Now is the time to do things: To make art, to fall in love, to be the person you want to be. There is no “later”. Waiting until “later” to do things becomes “never”.
Or at least, a musical Ford Focus! Bill Milbrodt led the team that built the instruments, with Ray Faunce III managing fabrication. Composer Craig Richey, who scored The King of Kong, among many other movies, wrote the music for the ensemble. Read the interview with Milbrodt here on Create Digital Music.

It is called Running out of time. And it is NOT a working clock.
I have a THING for […]
I want everything this man makes! Furniture and folk art sculptures, which Richard Dunbrack creates “from significant period artifacts and found objects”. Just marvelous! Visit The Thieving Magpie…it’ll put a smile on your face, gauranteed!

Altered Curiosities
by Jane Ann Wynn
Altered Curiosities is an excellent name for this book. Instead of starting with the usual list of supplies and tools that every altered art book feels obligated to include, Jane Ann Wynn jumps right into techniques. My kinda girl! Fearlessly, she plows into soldering and cutting apart small plastic animals, drilling, […]
You might remember Joe Pogan’s artist profile last year, because I bragged about actually being fortunate enough to own one of his pieces. Well, Joe has come up with 14 videos (so far) to show the pieces in the round! What a great idea. You can see all of Joe’s videos on YouTube […]
