Last week I had a couple of my creative friends over for lunch and stimulating conversation that always happens when creative friends gather. The next day I went to the opening of a new exhibit at the Gallery Uptown here in Grand Haven, more stimulation.
Several weeks ago I had the idea that a wine bottle bottom might make a doll body so I asked a glass artist friend to cut a couple bottles for me. Saturday I finally got around to doing something with them. One is a garden doll with beer bottle caps for legs and a polymer clay head. (I drink the wine but the bottle caps come from friends.)
The second doll is still in process. I decided mid-dollmaking that she would be a bell; however, not having planned that in the beginning she has no way to hang. That doesn’t matter to me since she’s the experiment. I’ll rig some way for her to hang and I already have an idea how to do the next one so it can hang properly.
I’ve also decided to use both parts of the bottle next time… that way I don’t have to make a neck.
Today is grey and wet here so I plan to stay inside. I’ll work on her and maybe even get started on a painting I have had sketched ready to do for a very long time. It’s time to get back to painting.
