PPF Ellimorph Faces Cabs

Hi Everyone!

I have had a great week in the art room. Lots of new things made and fun products to play with.
First I want to thank Eva and Kristen for hosting Paint Party Friday
Second a big thanks to all the artists who join in to share their art. 
 Art for this week is still on schedule  for My Art Everyday. 
I am at 145 pieces of art in 145 days. Here are a few of them.

I was happy with her hand. 


Huichol beading on leather La Loba Espiritural numeral dos.
 My good friend/sister is naming my faces on FB. This one is tequila, straight shot.



Now, do you remember a few months back when I received a product called Ellimorph? It is plastic beads that are submerged into hot water and then can be formed into shapes. I finally had time to play with it. I made hands for my creature. Then I made several molded flower cabochons. I Sooooo love this!!! I want to take a whole day just to play with Ellimorph.
 If you are interested you can check it out here. 

I made a wire armature then covered in Ellimorph.

and here is the finished creature. Made with a gourd top, home made paper mache paste, Ellimorph, leather hair, acrylic paints varnish and plastic eyes.






  Cabochons for beading and other multimedia art projects
The detail is amazing.


Wishing all of you a very happy weekend.

Your sketches are fantastic, but oh my goodness I LOVE your creature!!

You should publish a book called "The Faces Of Humanity". You capture so much truth in your drawings and your friend was right on with "Tequila, straight shot". Your leather work is awesome as well. I just love coming over here ... it rekindles my faith in humanity :)
