Photo without the "accoutrements"..."Totem #2" or "hearts and Stars" 2016


Well, imagine my surprise to find that it's been OVER A YEAR since I last wrote or pictured anything here!! (No wonder I have so very few followers). It is now May 9, 2016 and we enjoyed the Quinlan Philadelphia ArtDoll/ArtBear Show and Sale. The show continues to be my "eye candy" of creative ideas. This year's gallery piece depicted the TOTEM with some unique "critters" and beads.

 

Created using imported mohair as well as antique/vintage upholstery mohair. The wooden base was painted, then used "crackle" technique to give the idea of age-ing. Strung beads added to the totem idea.
