Ten "New" Animals

Hello Friends ! Here are ten new little People that I have loved, and in some cases "Lost" in the past couple of weeks. All made with either a head or body from a plastic animal toy, and the rest sculpted with paperclay, painted with acrylics.

If you want to see more of these guys, or hell, even BUY ONE :O you can check out my ETSY shop. www.etsy.com/shop/earlymorningprojects

Animal Jewelry made from the heads of plastic beasts!

--- Theodore the Triceratops



Well, hello again :)

It occurred to me that anyone seeing my last post about headless animals might be wondering why they were headless (unless I addressed that, I don't remember.)



---Danielle the blue Triceratops



Well, now you know. These babies have initiated a whole avalanche of creative endeavors, most of which I will attempt to post here.... eventually!




---Danforth the Sow


Some of these pieces are for sale at a little gift shop in Toronto called "Elephant Shoes" and so are not posted on my Etsy page, but I will post any that do not sell there in the future. I just wanted to share them all here, sorry if that's a tease.....



---Haberdasher and Fido the snake twins











---Blastonfelter the Turtle



If you're curious now, though, and especially if you want to play the "trade-money-for-stuff " game with me, find me at www.etsy.com/shop/earlymorningprojects yay!









---Shoshannah the Appaloosa

















---Periwinkle the Pig

New friends!

Oh god, so many headless animals, so many options, so little time...



Pauline, the Panda-Pig-Bear ^^........... Peggy the Split-Faced Sow ^^



Preacher ^^ the Owl-Parrot-Penguin........ Bob "Big Chops" the Rhino ^^



Gus the Goose-Necked-Tiger ^^ ............Carlos the Whale-faced-cow ^^


Ah, the sweet little buggers who have occupied my time so effectively lately, I really do need to post them!



Biscuit the bubble-gum Dino ^^............... Apple the Long-necked-Pony^^



I'm calling this my "Genetic failure Friends'' Series.

"Art dolls" for all those out there who love a messed up little fellow. Ok, they're not that messed up, they're actually really frigg'n adorable, but they are not quite... regular, either. Which is the point, I suppose!



Boris the needle-nosed Bull ^^................. Rufus the ridge-horned camel ^^


SO - these guys were a menagerie of headless figures lining my window sill. No, I don't chop off cow's heads just for fun (although it is a LITTLE fun!), I use them for jewelery. Anyway, the new heads are made from paperclay, a light weight sculpting clay that air dries.... cause really, I can't put plastic piggies in the oven for sculpey :P

It's brand new and still shiny!

rainbow girls

A few pieces here from a while ago. These started as a few gifts for my cousin to go away to university with (dorm rooms are so grey, lol.) and I kept making them. Hers were both blue heads - not shown here. The blank squares are mirrors, if thats not apparent. The others are cigar boxes.

For the Sci-Fi show

I was recently involved in a sci-fi and fantasy show at the Roncy Street Gallery. A very unique little gallery with turns and halls and nooks and crannys, all of which the owner and curator (and Artist) Chrictian Aldo uses to advantage.

I made six pieces for the show, the theme for which being entirely out of my realm, but I do lie a challenge. I kept the work small, honestly, in the hope of selling one or two, which did not happen. But I don't - personally- think it's because the work sucks, lol. I like them anyway! Let me know what you think.

The basic concept is a little girl- to be named in the future- who has the love and devotion of a legion of robots, built for her, possibly to protect and or raise her by her father. There are more details tot he back story that are still being mulled over, but that's the basics.

One Sided Conversation

Definitely not the newest piece, but probably the one I see the most often. This sucker hangs above our bed, and gives me lots to look at before passing out.

Two pieces from a while ago. bottom one is one of my faves of the whole series.

Lazy eye.... bigger piece, acrylic and pastel on canvas.

Wow, these colors are terrible. I will attempt to take a better photo.

Draft dodger / Too fat to soldier

This is an old piece, but it just occurred to me that I never did post it. Acrylic on plywood.

Ink drawing

New piece, primarily ink on un-stretched canvas.

new piece

This has gone through a few incarnations, with several layers. Finally I'm happyish with it.


On a side note, I'm looking forward to starting work on a sort of challenge I've recieved. An Erotic art show will be held at the Roncy Street Gallery in Toronto in November, and I'm to make three pieces. I've heard a few artists I know say they were slightly unsure about making erotic art, but I'm actually pretty excited about it. It's nice to have a challenge!

I'll keep you updated, post images etc.
