Whimsical Village

Toon Town

Multilevel town from Styrofoam tray parts. Decorated with

chalks and pens. That sun in  the sky is hot melt glue.

The deconstructed corrugated cardboard is the sky ground

on a paper mache-d box as the canvas.

This one can sit on a shelf or hang

on the wall.

The Single Figure

                     Single Figure

A small (4 x6) piece from recycled materials. The black paint was textured with plastic wrap and let dry. A cutout ( using a lightweight product box) was positioned over the textured background. Black paint was dry brushed around it to pop out the shape of the figure. Red acrylic was also slightly dry brushed. Once dry a white Soufflé pen was used to draw the lines and stars. Unpredictable and lovely!

Moonlight

Me and the Moon

 

In a collage of simple things the circles and squares

are the unknown spaces.

I find the moon in the circles and squares.

Woman in the moon.

 

 

Fish in a Row: Aquarium

 

Aquarium

 

Paper-mache ice cream bar boxes for canvases. Yogurt cups make the decorative

ovals that join the three. Underwater swirls and bubbles cut form discarded Styrofoam meat and produce trays.

The fish could  be carp or dolphins or whales.

Also cut from Styrofoam meat trays and decorated with hot melt

glue decorations.

Dive in.
