About Me

My photo
I love all kinds of art. There are so many mediums to I have yet to explore and I find each one challenging and rewarding. I wish I had more time for it all. My family and job keep me busy, but I try to set aside time when I can, not only for the simple enjoyment, but also to continue to develop as an artist. I have two boys who are nearing college, and I try to spend as much time with them as I can. They are the most important thing in my life. I also love nature and the outdoors, I can often be found fishing, hunting, or just hanging out in the beautiful outdoors that God has given us.

So now I find myself with lots of time on my hands.  For months I have been depressed and trying to find something to do with myself.  I have been browsing the internet trying to get inspired to do something.  I have always been interested in making ornaments for the holidays, but without the proper woodworking tools, that is something more frustrating than fun. 

I started noticing that some of the people making custom ornaments were making them using paper clay and paper mache'.  I really like the detail that they were able to capture, and the nostalgic look is undeniable.  I was at our local hobby store and purchased a paper mache heart and some paper clay.  Here are my results.  Don't judge me too harshly, as this is my first one! 



This little guy will have arms and be holding something when completed.  I'll probably give him a funky hat too.  I like the old fashioned face he has like the man in the moon you see on vintage postcards and stuff. 
I'm stopping for the day.I am surprised how much I got sculpted today!   Thanks for checking it out.  I'm anxious to see how he turns out.  He sure is happy isn't he?
