For those who create things, you may agree with me that it's good to have more than one medium to work in. It's nice to move from 3 months of painting and back into fiber.
I don't know about you, but I really to shift gears in my art. Do you often find yourself shifting gears in your work? What art forms do you move back and forth between?

I am currently preparing work for an Exhibition at the Southern Highlands Craft guild Gallery.

I'm not at all sure what I'm going to do with them from this point on....
.
But I do know that they won't be naked.
I like to dress Woodland critters...

I will need 2 or 3 more characters, any suggestions?
Amazing work as always, Jeri! Hmmmm.....what if you were to mount them like a taxidermy specimen? Just thinking!
ReplyDeleteI've thought about mounting them as heads.... in the past. But these need to be complete bodies.
DeleteWAIT....how about they were PUPPETS?
ReplyDeleteNow that IS a clever idea.... I wonder how I would do it?
DeleteThese little faces are just adorable. It 'almost' makes me like real raccoons. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe idea above about taxidermy specimens sounds like an interesting one.
No matter what you do, it will turn out wonderful!
Love & hugs & happy creating ~ FlowerLady
I know how you feel about raccoons, we've had our issues with them stealing eggs from the hens... and possibly stealing hens from their eggs!
DeleteLove these guys so far! How about an owl, a woodchuck and a beaver? The woodchuck think he's a beaver. The owl is so disgusted with him, and is a snooty owl.
ReplyDeleteI do like to try different media. I think it's a natural way to be an artist-and one road of making art helps the other. Hope that makes sense!
I do have an owl on my list, and I am very sure HE would be SNOOTY! A beaver would be absolutely marvelous with his big yellow buck teeth and flat rubbery tail...\
DeleteI agree, working in one medium often helps you to work out the bugs in another medium and see things from another angle.
Bonjour,
ReplyDeleteComment ne pas être charmé par ces délicates créations ?... Un petit monde merveilleux.
Merci pour ce délicieux moment.
Gros bisous
Merci, j'aime le monde des boisés et toutes les créatures étonnantes que l'on peut rencontrer!
DeleteSo adorable ! what about a porcupine, beaver, bear, hedgehog, squirrel, owl, rabbit, bambi, skunk, pheasant......
ReplyDeleteI thought about a hedgehog,But I don't know how I would make the prickles. Skunk, Owl Possum rabbit and squirrel are likely!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!! I had thought about a hedgehog also. I have never seen or felt one so don't know how prickly they are. What about an otter? Your little creatures are so much fun to see, what a wonderful gift you have! Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a long slender and slinky otter... definitely on my list!
DeleteGlad you are finished with your book - congratulations. How about a rabbit to go with your lovely woodland creatures...will be looking forward to seeing them all dressed up. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteA rabbit without a doubt, I've made dozens of them already, but I can't leave them out of this grouping.
DeleteI love that raccoon. He's perfect. They are pests but soooo cute-----sort of the rapscallions of the animal world.
ReplyDeleteHow about a chipmunk---I can't remember whether you have made one previously. They are bothersome too but cute as the devil. They are small and supposedly would be quicker to make and their markings are very artistic.
I've made a few chipmunks, I love those sweet little things.I kept one in my freezer for months...(my cat killed it and I used it as a model for painting, then I gave it a proper burial)
DeleteCongratulations on the book and gallery!
ReplyDeleteHow about full bodies with a piece of interesting tree roots?
Thanks May, The Gallery show is a challenge. All the critters will have full bodies.. I always do the heads first. Tree roots would be good props
DeleteI LOVE your forest creatures! I can't think of anything to add to the list others have already mentioned, although no one has mentioned a wolf or bobcat (or one of the other wild cats).
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about the cat family, but I like the wolf because it's fun to do animals with long noses.
DeleteHappy New Year Year Jeri!
ReplyDeleteThey are all wonderful, but I have to say my favorite is the Raccoon.
How about a very shrewd little shrew? You could give him a vest, hat and magnifying glass. Just a thought.
Congratulations on your book. I must now go see what I have missed in your previous posts.
fondly,
Penny
Penny, we do think alike, I made a little shrews head the other day! Now where could I find a mini magnifying glass? Yeah, finally finished that book. Now it's just a waiting game with the printers.
DeleteFor me currently, I shift between acrylics and oils, but also between surreal and fairytale. They're different enough that they give part of me a "break". In the spring when studios open up, I want to find a clay studio where I can throw on the wheel. That'll never yield anything I can sell, but I sure enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteLove the raccoon!
Kyra, throwing pots and painting are different enough to give you a nice switch. We all need to do that or the work seems to get stale, at least for me, it does.
DeleteThis blog is awesome and very informative keep Sharing this type of blog.
