We're Bursting With Creativity!

Another creation from Art and Soul in Portland. Push play arrow to see it in action.


While I was playing with Photoshop, my husband, Peter, was experimenting with Pinnacle. The result is this wonderful video showing a music box that I made in Thomas Ashman's class at Art and Soul. Starting at the bottom, we have legs made of copper refrigerator tubing pounded flat and bent into pleasing shapes. Atop the legs is a heart-shaped Altoids tin that houses a music box. The dancing doll is a collage covered in plexiglass that was hand cut...yes, hand cut...with a jeweler's saw. Thank you Petey for making an awesome video and special thanks to Sadie. You're a good actress!

I just watched this great video. Kudos to the artist and her talented husband! ;-)

This is a very fun creation. I love the little music box and the way the doll turns. You are one very talented lady!

Sadie is sure a little cutie pie.

Hugs,

What fun you must have had at Art and Soul. Do you have to bring all those materials with you or buy them there? Or did the teacher supply them? Wondering. How far ahead must you sign up?
If you'd like to email me the answers you can: lynnc66@comcast.net. thanks.
