Doomsday

2012-02-02T06:47:00.000-08:00

The Doomsday clock is ticking and the world is just moments away from going to Hell in a handbasket, or some say. Me, I think it would have to get a whole lot worse than this to call it quits. This porcelain Doll has her own Doomsday clock attached to her head at the Doomsday time which can be moved either way (who knows maybe we'll be granted a little more time).

Art Doll Commissioned Piece

2012-01-22T17:04:00.000-08:00

This little Nymph Doll in green is a commissioned piece just finished this month and ready to go. She's got her hair braided and twined with copper beaded wire, tattered fabric costume and a jewel encrusted pedistal.

Cyber Steampunk Kneeling Girl

2012-01-17T16:27:00.000-08:00

She's magical and musical and you can reposition her wire wrapped, beaded braids to your heart's content. She is kneeling upon a platform with a wind up key on the bottom. For more views you can see her at my Etsy shop just click the link.

My Heart

2012-01-12T05:27:00.000-08:00

Created using a Vintage red glass Avon bottle, recycled jewelry and belt pieces and just in time for Valentine's Day a Love Spell jar just for you to attract the perfect love!

Doomsday Basket Case

2012-01-04T08:14:00.000-08:00

Are you a Doomsday Basket Case? As if we don't have enough worries as it is, now we have to worry about the Doomsday predictions! In this piece, which is 99% recycled materials, I have combined futuristic cyber robotics, a basket of gold colored metal, a solid silvered insect and other odds and ends. This little Basket Case girl has lost her marbles and her world is topsy turvey as mine is at times and she is waiting for that special someone.

Eye Robot

If I can plant one little seed of love,

That later on will blossum in a smile,

It matters not however else I fail;

My life will be worth while.

If I can do some little kindly act,

That may later soothe some sad heart's pain,

It matters not what else I do.

My life will not have been in vain. ~author unknown~

Steampunked

2011-12-09T18:19:00.000-08:00

A Musical Doll in a steampunk style with a leather top hat and hand sculpted
head and hands. Spooky Doll. Assemblage Doll. As I strolled the isles of my
favorite Thrift Museum a small little once loved Christmas ornament caught my
eye and all was damaged except for the head and arms and that is what I started
this piece with. This is usually how my items begin, with a once loved item
longing to be loved just one more time.

Commissioned Piece

This is a Beauty and the Beast Belle which was enhanced with a very fairy make over

What strange things (broken and unloved) find their way into my shadowboxes. I never throw anything away without first trying to give it another chance to be loved. This piece, and others like it are in my mystic2awesome Etsy shop.

Little Girl Lost

2011-11-08T14:24:00.000-08:00

Those blonde Barbies have nothing on this little Punked Junk girl in her newly reincarnated form. She was loved once then put aside and now she's ready to be loved once again.

Spirit Jar Print

2011-11-03T19:51:00.000-07:00

L.L. could use a spirit jar in her life right now, but with all the bad karma following the poor girl around she'll need a much bigger one than this! This is a print of a spirit jar created by me as an experiment in coloring the inside of the jar and I probably should have written down how I did it because I haven't been able to duplicate it.

Hang in There!

2011-10-30T14:34:00.000-07:00

I found this poor little Angel in a bag of thrift store goodies. When things are of little value, broken, damaged or not worth putting a real price on them the thrift store in question puts them into a bag and sells them for one price. This little Angel had almost completely faded out and was on it's last legs. But to me it was a challenge, a blank bleached out and worn canvas just waiting to be the star of "The Christmas Makeover". Here she is now with a hand dyed finish, white painted accents, new eyes, fabulous Angel Hair "hair" and a bit of wire wrapped beads.

Winged Bot on Caffeine

2011-10-23T11:38:00.000-07:00

Have you had your morning coffee yet? This image of one of my Eye Robot creatures was taken with a mirror at it's back so you can see the pale magenta netted wings and little coffee cuo and saucer.

Christmas Weddings

2011-10-14T04:39:00.000-07:00

Christmas Weddings where you can throw snow instead of rice, wear fluffy pastels and drink hot chocolate with Champagne wishes and marshmellow kisses! I just finished this little wedded pair for a cute Christmas cake topper or Valentine's Day.

Dragon Stinks too, two!

2011-10-07T12:39:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you just have to vent that silly bone or it will explode and splatter it's silliness all over everything and you won't be able to be serious for weeks!

Halloween Hunk

2011-10-03T08:41:00.000-07:00

He's a Halloween Hunk without the "body mass" and maybe a little slim for my taste but he's waiting for that special someone to love him! He rides a vehicle made of Vintage sewing machine parts, buttons and odds and ends. He has big biker boots and wired arms that are part of his new reincarnation and can be used as a protector of your desk or a cake topper for Halloween.

Cyber Cat and Friend

2011-09-24T16:19:00.000-07:00

This little Cyber Cat with a human head and cat body with tiny copper wires and tattered black fabric head hair loves her new reincarnated look!

Keepsakes

2011-09-05T09:21:00.000-07:00

I'm always looking for something new to try and this little box was found unfinished but with a blemish or two at one of my favorite Thrift Museums. I had aquired a bunch of old stamps a while back and knew as always happens that something would show itself needing a few old stamps and here was this little wooden box. I left the picture frame at the bottom loose so if you want you can insert your own vintage photo into it. The colors used for the box itself is my own secret combination technique of hand dying wood to give it a matte "old worn" look. As always, because I don't know the past life or experiences the materials have been subjected to, all materials are cleansed of any and all negative energies and incantations are enabled to insure a positive flow of energy radiating from the piece.

Twig Head

2011-08-24T15:27:00.001-07:00

She's full of sweet colored flowers, trees, plants and blooms,

She's Mother Natures daughter and Father Times neice,

Unless she's pushed she's such a shy and timid child,

But you've had your chance and She's ready to unleash her beast.

First I came across the glass flower and leaf on a long stem which have been placed inside her head. The smaller glass petals are form an old flower arrangement which had colored wires wrapped around their ends which had rusted. Once loved they are waiting for someone to love them just one more time.

Basket Case

2011-08-18T18:52:00.001-07:00

Yes... those aer the marbles I lost when I became a Basket Case. I found these little baskets of bright gold aluminum and they were the perfect size for the little dolls who wanted to be reincarnated, and that is either paint or toner on my face.

A Basket Case

2011-08-17T13:28:00.000-07:00

If you are losing your marbles...you might be a Basket Case. If you can't find your car keys... you might be a Basket Case. If you have toner all over your hands and face ... you might be a Basket Case! If you're losing control of time ... you might be a Basket Case!

Memories to share

2011-08-09T07:00:00.001-07:00

Memories of someone's life, once loved items with unknown pasts all given another chance to be loved and remembered once again. The day is not a total loss if only one little memory of happiness is created. Take that tiny bit of happy memory and focus on it not on those memories that blacken the soul with their bad memories and cause the vine of life to falter and wither.

Say Goodbye

2011-08-03T08:04:00.000-07:00

"The puzzles of the heart, pieces of unknown, a journey without a map, can still lead you home."

A quote from my Melinda Field "Journey of the Maiden" oracle cards found at www.wisewomenink.com Saying goodbye is always difficult, but these little ones made from once loved materials are on their way to a new journey. Although I wish them well, It's always a little hard to say goodbye.

Boxed Treasures

2011-08-02T06:18:00.000-07:00

We are born, we grow, we change and social companionship feeds that growth. Positive energy insures the greatest growth and without that we shrivel and fall behind in our growth. Put down strong roots and whether you are a short shrub or a tall tree be happy with yourself.

I always cleanse my materials of any lingering negative energies and charge them with positive energy before creating the items.
