This is one of my little gardens, in front of my house I love to work in my gardens, to think, to walk in my gardens, like a little journey inside myself...and these are flowers and gourds. They say 'welcome' to everyone Oh I know I know I know, I will have a vision of a piece, a new idea this evening, my Muse is singing...
The Goddess takes Energy from THE Source! This is a magic Saturday for me! It's a rainy day, the sky is very dark, a wonderful silence....the sea near my house...only silence and rain...and my imagination goes on... Puppen Fimo, acrilic paints, Pirkka.
Griforena. A fantastic medieval creature. He has a human head, His intelligence has the animal instincts and the human concentration. His body is of a bird and specifically It is the body of a Griffon. He has a siren tail, He has Lion legs. He flies, He swims, He walks, He runs. Audacy, intelligence,lightness, power!
the song of birds, the colors of flowers, I'm thinking new sculptures...but This is the energy of nature that inspires me...
and This is a little Elf, Pavar, a little hoonie (See the end of the post) made by me but inspired by the Marilyn Radzat class (Maryhoonie)on www.thatcreativeplace.com (thanks Lisa Gatz, for your work!). For me it is important to find an italian way for Hoonies...and so, my Pavar is here!
What is a hoonie?
from Marilyn's word...'On a small island in the middle of the ocean live a unique and curious clan, called The Maryhoonie . Far distant cousins of the Hawaiian magical little people known as Menehunes, these curious creatures began adorning their feet with the most magical of foot ware know to every little girl as the MaryJane shoe.....and thus they were forever called.'

Wow! Stef! They are wonderful. I love your use of fiber and all the mixed media (silver etc ) parts. And the shapes/gestures you put into the torso are not only lovely design-wise but very emotionally evocative. I am a big believer of working in a "series"- so much to learn as you work on a number ofpieces in the same family- you did just great! xoxo Dayle
Oooh Stef! They're all wonderful! Your style is so creative and fun. And you were very bold in your media mixing. The way you wrap the fibers around the bodies is great. One reminds me of a tree with vines climbing on it. And using the tin is brilliant. Bravo! Karen
