AND

Remember a little while ago when I posted the dino teeth which are part of the headpieces I am painting for the Norfolk Generic Theater’s production of the musical Enron?  Well, wonder no more about how they fit into the big picture!  Here is a before shot of the dino assembled, but unpainted…..

ok…….here’s a pic of the inside of the mouth – still a little work that I had to do to clean up the teeth, which, by the way, now are fully painted, even with washes of goldish brown to resemble tartar!  lol!

And now……………….

I’ve since gone back in to knock down the brightness just a bit with some washes of brown.  I was figuring that the lights would be pretty dim for the production, so the enhanced highlights on the heads would be necessary, but apparently, they won’t be, so now they are just a bit less contrasting in color.  I am spraying quite a few applications of a fixative, in the hopes that it will keep things in tact and lookin’ good!  After all, they have to make it through numerous rehearsals before the actual production!  Wow!  Stay tuned for more theater news!

By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea!  This is the theme this month for the AHAartistsstudio, so in keeping with it, I have painted a couple of pieces showing that cats really can do the water thing, if they CHOOSE to!

Well, dinosaur teeth, of course!  And why would I have them?  I am painting three dinosaur heads for the musical Enron, which will be produced in a local theater in my neck of the woods.  I have been asked to paint these special velociraptor masks for the play, and the first step is for me to take care of the dental work.  Sooooo, first I do three sets of uppers and three sets of lowers, and then they are assembled into the heads, and then I paint them!  Sounds easy enough, so that means there will be a lot more work than meets the eye!  Stay tuned!

Here they are!  The Santa WIPS which I posted last week are completed, and ready to go to Reasons to Believe, and then hopefully, on to new homes!  Yes!  They range in size from 6 inches to 8 1/2 inches, and are full of personality!  Enjoy!

Pfattmarketplace updates this morning at 10 am Pacific time, 11 am Mountain time, noon Central time, and 1 pm Eastern time.  Because our nation’s birthday is not far away, I will be offering my patriotic pals this month!  Just what you need to decorate for July 4th!  Have a look, and join us all today for some wonderful artwork!  Enjoy!

I thought you all might like to see some WIPS which will be sent to Reasons to Believe.  This is a wonderful site for all things Santa!  There are some terrific artists whose works are represented there, and I am fortunate to have my work included.  Enjoy!  I’ll post the finished pieces next week!

It’s time for the Halloween Queens Castle Bootique to update – gosh!  How the time flies!  I have a pair of little pumpkin fellas available today, and here they are!

Barney and Burt are made as sitting pieces, but they can be drilled and strung if you would prefer them as ornaments!  Contact me at ginny@ginnydiezelstudios.com, if you are interested, and/or have comments!  I’d love to hear from you!  And, please join all of us at the Halloween Queens Castle Bootique update today for some spooktacular pieces!

What’s this?  Uncle Sam X 2?!  Well, it means there are two Uncle Sam ornaments for you to see on the American Holiday Artists Studio today.  We have updated, and here is a pic of my two offerings!

They have sculpted paperclay features on driftwood from the Pacific Ocean.  Stop on by the American Holiday Artists Studio to take a look at all of the goodies for this month!  See you there!

Happy May to all of you!  I know I have been missing in action around my blog of late.  Just waaaay too much going on for one person!  Sheesh!  I am back and will blog regularly – I promise!

Pfattmarketplace updates tomorrow, May 10, at 10 am, Pacific time.  It’s spring, the flowers are popping, and it’s time for bees!  Yes, bees!  They are truly our friends in Nature.  Where would we be without them to pollinate?????  I ask you?  So, in honor of these little workers, I have sculpted a couple of bees for your collections.  Here’s a teensy peek!  Show up tomorrow and you can see them in their actual size!  Please check them out on my page on pfattmarketplace, and enjoy all of the artists’ works for this month!  See you there!
