White is the Bark that Reaches for the Sky

New work for Ancient Pocket 'Mango Juice' (above).

'Really Sure' Scan with crystals/ gems, illuminated falls and arrowhead (above photo).

'Really Sure w/ Sunlight' by Ancient Pocket (above).

The following photos beginning with the bunny face photo (above) are things I made for a trade a while ago.  I sure hope she liked them. :)  Anyhow, I used terra cotta fimo for the rabbit head and hand-painted it and gave it a good coat of glaze.



'Blue Dreamers' mini-painting for the swap (above photo)///\\\

The back (above photo).  I used vintage hand-painted around the late 50s? wall paper to cover the back of the frame.  The wallpaper is awesome. I purchased it from an very nice old man at his yardsale on Alberta Street in Portland, OR at this moderately sized tan stucco faced house.

'Apache-Tear necklace' Air-dry clay hand-painted (by me) necklace with vintage wooden beads and vintage blue and silver twine (above).  A wink at my grandfather.  The front.

The back (above).


So that's it!  Well, I made the new painting 'Mango Juice' because it's a good way for me to sort out things that have been transpiring of late.  Also, I've been meaning to show these clay things that I completed some time ago.  They are so much fun to make!    

Pocket Items, Caves and More

Today I thought I'd post things that are related to a deposit of things as in 'pocket', be it objects or veins of crystals or bookcases with a hideout or secret nests in a tree or black holes.  Also, I posted some info on my current project.  Hope everyone's weekend was magical!  I went for a walk in the snow around the neighborhood.  I miss going for long walks, but in the meantime I'll take what I can get.

Here is my second part of the project I am working on 

that I mentioned in Saturday's post.  Now

I that I have completed making the pair.

I can proceed to the next step of turning them into dolls.

I'm excited about this little plan.

Also, in the meantime I can contribute my efforts to finishing a few other

jobs around Ancient Pocket that need some attention too.

Especially on the clay and watercolor front.  Feeling energized today to get going

on those other undertakings.  Thanks for reading!
