I like picking up odds and ends especially when the odds and ends are handmade by amazing artists. For weird and wonderful creations, living in TO with Hamilton
just a bus ride way, there are so many places to find all sorts of things. Plus
it helps when a lot of the people you know happen to be going to Sheridan, for
art. It was through one of these connections that I got a hold of This little
guy:
This crazy critter is only one of Morgan
Reaume wacky wonderfully monster designs, handmade right down to all the embroidery! I can honestly say I saw him and I had
to have him. I think it's important to
support local artists, and being able to attend this year's grad show, oh how I wanted to support them all. There is
something to be said walking into a room filled with that much talent,
inspiring! Getting back to this monsters creator, if you like the look of this
guy I am going to link this talented artist. LINK!
Little
projects all coming together . I have a few things on the go and some are
actually coming to a head, in the best possible way. It means I can soon start
more of my crazy ventures in to making art my entire well, job. I mean for the
amount of time spent doing it I figure why not love what I do, and if that just
gets me enough to cover bills cool.
So this post is going to be another update from my projects page into my main
feed it was the ABC dress (anything but
cloths) it was for a party a while back and I got the great idea to plaster
giant bows all over my body, it was nearing Christmas... The great thing about
this particular b-day celebration was it was all fx people so you know the
non-cloths were great!
Next week's post, yes I said next week, will be new content I promise. Just don't want to lose these tidbits of stuff in the digital black hole that is my computer. Here is a fun link to a rant I did about Putting the Class Back in ABC's
So I resonantly
decided to take down my project page mostly because I wasn't really doing
anything with it. Not that I don't have projects going on but most of them
right now are building up stock and have to do with items I want market. The other parts of my time are spent brain
storming less tactile things and right now figuring out how to make my new me
puppet.
Puppet? you may say, yep puppet.I really enjoyed making this one;
There is one problem though, Its outdated. My hair is longer, new glasses and
my eyes aren't permanently bugged out any
more due to late night projects, deadlines and way too much caffeine in a college
atmosphere. Which is when I made this,
plus it's a stop motion puppet and I
know I want to take my puppet making skills in a different direction. Now I just have to answer questions like,
mouth mechanism or not, foam? which type? Sculpted or patterned... arg This is
the tricky part but I'm sure I'll come to a conclusion sooner or later. I
hope...
In the mean time even though I've taken down the projects page for now I still
am planning to share my strange brain
children on this main page instead. What better way to start off on a new foot
by sharing my old me puppet! I don't
know just go with it...
Wait...this means I have to update my avatar too, ah well work, work, work, work. :D
