Some hands-on holiday crap

Who (i.e. which) shot first? Han or Greedo? Etched shot glasses.

Some boring but difficult stenciled etchings on shot glasses.

Cece painting study. I ended up going with her more beaming/piercing eyes.

Cece painting, staring you down. Gouache on acrylic on masonite. Frame was taken from a demo'd home bathroom medicine cabinet from when I was doing construction.

HOLIDAYS BRING ON WEIRD CREATIVITY

Paint scrapers from 6 month-long lead paint removal on our porch. Mementos of endurance, His and Hers. Composite/Masonite hand-made frame, screw-mounted. Painted with the porch paint. No alterations of any kind were made to the tools. Just gel medium to seal in the lead paint coating.

My folks have been having a bit of a rodent problem...

Same type of frame build, 1 Victor mousetrap (proudly stolen from my folks), and one old, poor HP mouse.

HOLIDAY PROJECT: Hangin' On

Originally, the bird was to be wounded, with a splint or something on his right wing. Not the easiest thing to conceive, so under time constraint, I left it sort of ambiguous. The first drawing had no sling tho, so I guess this is O.G., whatever it may mean. I just think pigeons are lazy, even though they can fly quite well. This one's for Lara.

HOLIDAY PROJECT: Lighthouse Clock (Quicktime Movie)

Been making clocks out of kits. This one is Styrofoam backed (not recommended) with gel medium and gesso shell, and a card-stock face, printed with a cropped Andrew Wyeth lighthouse painting. The arms of the clock exit out of the window on the lighthouse. Cindy seems to dig it.
