some fun with Photoshop
A few weeks ago I got to check out a local foundry with some people from school. You can see pictures HERE.
Besides taking pictures of the action, a few other things caught my eye. One was a bucket and rope.
made black and white

work for school
so i've been busy at school making stuff - 3 & 1/2 studio classes this semester (the 1/2 is my art ed class which requires some studio work).
Ceramics 2 is mainly about throwing, throwing, throwing. I have some pieces bisque fired but nothing really totally finished. I did get my "a more treelike form" back from last semester. It had been on display in the library gallery for the past month and a half. Here's a better pic than the cell phone pic I'd posted earlier.
In sculpture I've been working on a wire kinetic piece. It's pretty much done. i just need to create some sort of stand for it. it's supposed to spin when the wind hits the wings. It's some sort of insect.
My next sculpture project is going to be made out of 1/4" rod and require some welding. Fun!!
My 3rd studio class is Printmaking. We spent the first couple of classes experimenting with monoprints using plexiglass and a variety of materials. I think the one that came out the best was my octopus.
The blue was an experiment with water color and wet paper while the black was black speedball ink on plexiglass.
Our next project involves using dry point. Stay tuned for pics.

cool sculptures!!
This month I had the opportunity to put my "Treelike Form" on display in the courtyard of The Art House in McAllen.
I got to share the courtyard with some other great sculptures created by friends of mine.
"Chicharra" and "Dandelions" by Carla San Martin
"And Sat Down Beside Her" by Kate Roach
"sculpture as chair with periodical rack" by Kris Ohlinger
I'm thrilled to say that these will all be on display and for sale during the month of February in the annex of The Art House. Go see them in person because the pictures do them no justice.
