Wind Chime Under an Autumn Sky

Here's a picture of my wind chime under a Maple. Autumn is the best season here in da UP. The colors are fantastic and the biting insects are gone (for the most part).

Searching for Lines

Looked at lots of images of horses today. Made a clay model, then reworked it some to search for some basic lines.Time to bend something.

P.S. There's two pictures that got separated from the post when the power went out.


Inspiration

I was working outside on my car, when from just above came a Raven's raspy "hello". I always hear their wings, but he silently came over, spoke and was gone. The wind gushed and I knew how he did this trick.The Raven is a master of the wind.I found a Raven feather at my feet.

Hey Dino, here's a crane I made that might give you some ideas for an armature.

Brown Orchid of Egypt

| |

This is the Brown Orchid of Egypt.I saw the word Egypt on one of the rebar sepals, so it became part of the name.The shape came from my soul. I must make more orchids and color them.

Sunflower

|

A friend asked me to make her a sunflower, so today I made one. The center of the flower is part of an old lawn mower motor. I knew I would find a use for something from that thing.

Brown Re(rod)cluse

| |

A tiny spider built a dome shaped web in one of my tetrahedron stands. It was precisely in the center of the stand. I was fascinated with his web. I made a rendition of this tiny creature out of re-rod. It looks very much like him but instead of 1/4" , he is two feet long. A frien saw this sculpture and named it Brown Re(rod)cluse. The name stuck.


Hauling Art

I need to get my stuff to the upcoming art festival in Munising so I loaded Zeldabob's roof. I have three sculptures and two stands on the roof. The larger stand is 7'4" tall. There are six smaller stands on the back seat. I'll need to make two trips, but it'll all get there on or in Zeldabob.
