My niece from Washington state is coming next month with her son Ethan. I have never met them and I am so excited to be able to spend time with them. My other niece from California and her middle daughter are also coming…I have not seen her in 40+ years! I am over the moon happy! I made this steampunk shrine for Ethan, my great nephew. Souffle polymer clay over a wood box with inclusion of gears, an old fuse, a light bulb and a pen clip make up this item. I will make things for the girls after they tell me what they want. Being united with long lost relatives is a dream come true. Love you guys!!!
I left some Makin’s Clay out to fully harden, then used my scroll saw to cut out a basic heart shape. I then carved the heart, rounding it out and beveling the sides. A few gears were added to the back and front of the heart along with a few screws and a scary cat piece. The heart was then colored with oil paint. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I made this shrine with some cool parts I got from two awesome artists: Jen Crossley from Australia and Beth Miller Petricoin from Pennsylvania…thank you ladies! This was made for my new neighbor Alicia who is really into Halloween. I love creating using found objects and there are quite a few in this piece.
