I only got one thing done in time for Sunday night's shenanigans,
but she's a big one!
This pile of wood and skellies that graced Thursday's work table. . .
. . .turned into this-

I had to face my clown fears in the making of this.
Researching through countless old postcards and circus posters
for that just-right inspiration had me twitching,
but I embraced my fears for the sake of art ☺
Ya know, I actually find clowns LESS scary with skull heads.
It's those big red noses and painted faces that get me. *shudder*
You can see more of it HERE.
What silliness are you afraid of?
I love your work so creative! this piece is very cool! Susan

Okay Joee, there are very few pieces that I would consider selling my children for. This is one of them. Unbelievably D-I-V-I-N-E!!!
ReplyDeleteCrying for lack of bid money :{
Wow! Frightening. And yet, happily frightening.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a clown fan myself. However, I can tolerate them. Now, if a clown came up to me and said he had a firecracker and a match, I would break into a cold sweat and run.
Fabulous!!! I could sit and look at this piece for hours!
ReplyDeleteThis is cleverness itself. I am enchanted by it all, from the way the clowns fit inside the tent to the skulls skulking around the top of the tent and then up to the Big Top (Ringmistresses' Top Hat.) But what I love most is that the tent is her skirt! (Guess which part of The Nutcracker Ballet is my favorite?) You've really outdone yourself on this one!
ReplyDeleteI also have an anaphylactic reaction to clowns. Somehow when they have skull heads you feel like you know right where you stand...
ReplyDeleteMy silliness I'm afraid of are cops p[ulling me over! lol and I'm a good driver. : )
ReplyDeleteBeyond awesome!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! Now THESE 'clowns' I LOVE! And whether or not you did it intentionally, the base of the piece carries over the skeleton teeth look and it's AWESOME! I want to BE you with your amazing, non-stop creativity & talent! As for fears - anything even SLIGHTLY resembling a ... shudder ... lizard, salamander, gheko, etc. OMG! The very WORDS make me weak.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, wonderful work. Glad I found your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been busy and I sure am loving it as always. Love the skullfaces. Yes, I find clowns aggravating and a tad unsettling. Fie on them, I say! FIE!
ReplyDeleteTake care.

ReplyDelete-Becky.
Absolutely amazing, adorable, creepy, beautiful...not enough words to describe how much I love your pieces!
ReplyDeleteMy silly fear is toads. Thank God I have boys to rescue me from them, b/c I can't even go IN the garden if I know one is waiting for me :)
I so love this art piece.

I am seriously afraid of the devil...growing up Catholic he was more present than the good guy.
ReplyDeleteI love your art and the way the devil rides a clip-pity clappity horse and spells blaspheme..he screams to me and I can find joy in the old bugger who I have leared to call Conrad in my old age.
