ALWAYS ENGRAVE SAFELY

This little hip flask is coming along great I think! Dremel Stylo and so far I've just used a green stone.

#MakersmARTch day 15: sculpt

This little mouse girl made from clay scraps is only a little bigger than my thumb. I imagine she's dressed in petals from my rose.
A wee sculpture of a mouse girl with long dark hair, sitting curled up holding onto her knees. She's draped in yellow, orange, and red rose petals like a dress. Photo of my rose blooming in the garden. The center petals are yellow, shading through orange to red on the outermost petals.

With or without colour? The #sunlight made shadows creating an #alien like landscape. The #bacteria like cells stand out more in colour. I used found objects to #sculpt this from #airdryclay. #marchintolandscapes #MakersmARTch #SmArtist #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear
Shells, sticks and other found objects were pressed into a clay tile to sculpt a landscape. Placing the tile in the sunlight has created strong shadows which gives the appearance of craters on the surface of a planet. The same tile has been painted in pastel tones to mimic the shapes created by bacteria. I looked at images of bacteria and viruses from under microscopes for inspiration. These are not accurate representations but am artistic interpretation.

Day 15. #MakersmARTch #Sculpt

You dont always need clay to sculpt. These were chicken wire frames I made then covered with papier mâchè & acrylic paint to achieve my 'Nuclear Family'

They were part of my painting series about #Homelessness that appeared in Stratford, London 1995

#ArtYear #Artist
A group of colourful, papier mâchè sculpted figures with chicken wire frames, created by Helen Brown in 1995 for an exhibition on homelessness in Stratford, London in 1995. There is a house and car with a baby in a trolley with a doll. Also 4 human figures (2 adults and 2 children) plus a small brown dog

A little dense quilting around a simple shape helped sculpt this fish bones relief on my Picatso quilt.

I saved you a piece of the Pi Day apple pie, and made it a la mode for you, for today’s art prompt! 🤭
(yes it’s only a half inch, had to stay true to yesterday’s miniature pie scale of course)
#MakersmARTch #MkrsmARTch #Sculpt
A miniature polymer clay plate with a minature polymer clay baked apple pie slice sculpted with a couple of baked apples falling out and the juice dripping off the edge, with golden brown crust, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream just to the left of the slice of pie on the plate. X-Acto knife in the background on the left for sense of scale. All on a black craft cutting mat with white line grid.

The #MakersMartch theme today is sculpture. I've always been enamored of cemetery sculpture. If anyone knows of an account on here that posts about cemeteries (preferably with alt text), let me know!
Art piece of a drawing in white ink against a very dark gray background of the figure of an angel as seen from the side and draped over a cemetery monument with face hidden in arms in a posture of intense grief. The art style is simple lines with patterns chosen to emphasize the shapes of the figure's drapery, wings, and curled hair.

Here’s one full spread from that museum collection drawing spree at @folkartmuseum.bsky.social | #makersmARTch #clay #sculpt #carve #artyear
Jen Schultes’ sketchbook page from a drawing trip to MOIFA. The image displays a series of sketches in a row, each depicting different figurines. Starting from the left: A character is shown looking surprised with its mouth wide open… Below that, there’s a Dia De Los Muertos skeleton playing a banjo. 3. The third image features a character wearing what appears to be wings. 4. Next is a sketch of a Kachina doll. 5. The fifth image shows a mexican rag doll with a bouquet. 6. The sixth sketch is of a character resembling a rabbit with horns, a pointed tail, and a cape. It has an exaggerated, cartoonish style.

A desk with a floral green cloth laid over it, and ink bottles and other art supplies in the background. Three small polymer clay sculptures are featured. A face hugger creature from the Alien movies, a weird blue and orange mushroom with eyes all over its cap, and a sad looking snail creature with boggly eyes.
