It's finally done!

Well, here is the final product.  The totem pole is complete and awaits it's post at the 8th grade Luau.  I love how it came out; really looks like wood.  The pig looks good too..this little piggy is going to the spit!

The 8th grader finally makes an appearance too!!  Glad she approves....

New mixed media

Here's a new mixed media piece using one of my new Crafter's Workshop stencils.  Looks a little too busy to me...but I'm learning a lot through play.  And I'm having fun.  That's the most important thing!

Finally!

Well, this is my very first post!  I really need to learn more about how to make my blog pretty like all the wonderful blogs that I follow.  Please be patient while I learn.

I created this blog so that I can share my art.  Right now I am working on a totem pole for my daughter's 8th grade Luau.  I borrowed some tiki molds from a friend and created the totem segments using plaster gauze and a bit of plaster.  I still need to paint them and attach them to a column, but I think they look great so far; lots of detail!!  I also made a pig that will be roasting over a faux fire - too funny!
