New Recycled Tin Artwork- Bless Every Place

Shaker?

This crossed my path today as I was out looking for tin. It's a shaker of some kind. Holes seem to be too big for salt or pepper. It's perfect for holding a few button flowers.

Tin Artwork - She knew...

This piece reads- ''She knew some days would be challenging but she hadn't anticipated alligators''. It's kind of a reminder to be happy and grateful about days that are easy  AND mindful that there will always be days that are less so. Be strong.

Working like a mad woman so I can have a ton of work to sell at the Bellevue Art Fair in July.

I'm so in love with Chloe

Chloe came to the shelter as a stray. She had been there for 2 weeks when we got her. She was wild at first and we weren't sure we could keep her. A friend told us to stick it out for 6 weeks. I am so pleased that we did.

Recycled Tin Flower Arrangement

 

 

Before .                                                                                                  After.

The one on the left was done in 2010.  Yesterday I changed the background to black and now it looks better. The quirky handles on the vase stand out more.

When I was painting I would have my work professional photographed so I could send out slides. Back then I would never have re-worked a painting after a photo had been taken. Now that I take my own photos (albeit, not always the best) I feel free to re-do any piece at any time and it is so much fun.

What Would a Queen Do?

Before. (2010)

After.2012

It's fun to re-work older pieces. I wanted this one to read What Would a Queen do? An old friend convinced me What Would Royalty Do? was better. I much prefer it now with the original idea for it in place. In reality it just wasn't finished to begin with.

Recycled tin artwork , Happy Day

This was so much fun to make. Figuring out the best way to secure the bunny was really fun. I also liked figuring out the order in which to assemble it. The half of a napkin holder makes a great shelf. The Erector set pieces were so easy to work with. My favorite part is the child's watch with the moon face in it. I've got a bunch of those old tin watches and I'm really looking forward to doing more of them with bits of tin inside. The moon face is from a musical toy that had nursery rhyme characters on it, a cow was jumping over the moon. I bought that toy in Tennessee a couple years ago at the World's Longest Yard Sale.

I will be entering this little bunny in the teacup in the White River Valley Museum Small Works Show.

White River Valley Museum in Auburn, WA

Last year I won the people's choice award so an image of my recyceled tin artwork is on this year's postcard. This is a fun show. The artworks are small and it's a small venue and there is lots of enthusiasm from the staff and other artists. Last year's opening was really fun. I'm hoping I will jury in this year.

Polydactyl, sounds like a dinosaur to me....

Welcome Cloe our polydactyl tabby from the Seattle Humane Society. She is 6 years old and trying to adjust to her new home after being a stray and in jail for 2 weeks. She is affectionate but for the love of God, do not pick her up! 24 toes equals 24 claws and I have met each one and have the scratches to prove it.
