Try a material you haven’t used before or try making something you never thought of making before you may be surprised at what you can do and what you learn in the process.
It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything. In the summer I teach children in an art program and we have a great time exploring Mosaics, Drawing, simulated stained Glass and Celuclay a form of pulped paper for Paper Mache. I’ve been working with Celuclay for three or four years now. I’ll be posting some of my creations on Facebook
The material is very easy to use and quite versatile.
Lately I’ve been exploring how marionettes are made. My husband Steve and I went to see a performance of the Cashore Marionettes called Simple Gifts. What a wonderful and thrilling performance it was! I first saw excerpts of the show on YouTube. I was so inspired I got some books form my local library and made a doll from Celuclay and wood incorporating some of the techniques used to make marionettes. I’m not quite ready to put strings on my new creation. I much prefer to work our some of the design flaws and work toward building the control mechanism for the next one I create.
