November Art Reception

The November art show reception was last night

and I wanted to share a few photos with you.

This was an all member, non judged show.

 My husband and I walked into the art center,

and I have to say that all the art was wonderful.

There was quite a variety of art media showing.

There were photos on canvas, photos on metal,

collagraphs, watercolors, oils, drawings,

my mixed media art dolls, assemblage and much more.

I was so happy that my sister, Lanette,

was able to make it to the reception.

Here we are standing by my mermaid art doll, Myrena.

There was wine, punch, food,

and music by the Art Center band.

There was also a drawing for a coastal painting

done by a local artist.

The crowd was still growing when we left the reception.

The show will be up all month.

It's always exciting to see an all member show

and I look forward to the next one.

Savor the Day!

Odyssey--- art doll

I finished my 3rd art doll last night,

 for an upcoming art show in November.

Now meet

Odyssey.

She is very colorful and I wanted her to look

 like she comes from

under the sea.

Odyssey is made using polymer clay, just like the others.

Her hair is recycled sari yarn,

which I love

and I've used it often on my art dolls.

On top of her head are 5 poly clay fish

with beads for eyes.

I first tried a hat, but then went with

something totally different.

There is a tiny shell on her forehead,

and she has a turquoise stone necklace.

Here is a close up view.

Next photo is the back view.

Odyssey is mounted like the others,

on a 4 inch square wooden base.

Hope you are enjoying the fall weather

and creating something.

It's all to help us...

Savor the Day!
