Here are some arts from long, long ago! When I was but a wee child!
This is some kind of Native-American style canteen! It is about 10″ in diameter. Look at my interest in the fishes, even at a young age!
These are some … vessels. Shaped like heads. I called them jug-heads. The guy on the right has a real live cork stopper, but the guy on the left has a whole removable eye ball! Sweet! Around 3-4″ tall.
This is a CHINESE PAGODA. I even made a little fenced-in yard, and a tiny flamingo that used to stand up on his wire leg! The pagoda is around 10-12″ tall.
This is a 6″ tall piranha teapot! So cool and vicious! Look at that undershot jaw and two large teeth! AWESOMELY COOL.
This wolf/dog teapot I made in elementary school was the light of my art teacher’s life. She really loved it. I’m not sure why. I’m embarrassed to look at or think about it. But. Whatever. I’M PUTTING IT ON THE INTERNET! $500, 8-10″ tall.
This project consists of: a block of wood (approx. 3″ x 3″), multi-colored beads, and TOILET WAX. Yes toilet wax. It looked and felt like rotten peanut butter. If peanut butter ever went rotten. Which reminds me of this old tin I found in what I always referred to as “The Gray Sheds” behind the house. It had a fruit cake in it. I know there are lots of jokes about how nobody likes to get a fruitcake as a gift and how people give them away as second-hand presents for years and years. WELL. This one ended up in the Gray Sheds and it condensed and solidified and it LOOKED like a big chunk of brittle wax. Me and my brother, Freddie, used to toss it around and try to break it. I am 99% positive that there are still chunks of the Old Fruitcake hanging out in the Gray Sheds.
