While I am working on my Iron Angels, many pictures as well as ideas come in to my head and then the designs expand from there. I am having a great deal of fun playing in this steampunky place! I also think that this play will in turn reflect back on my angels when I make another one of those.
To me this is like doodling or journaling, but not writing or drawing the images, but actually making them.
I used to think I wasn't doing it right if I made things this way. Now I realize that it just might be the way ideas develop for me.
The only thing really wrong with it is that you end up with tons of pieces.
This is one of the brooches that came from that play!
Here are the angels.
That Brooch Marie is stunning~ I love it.
ReplyDeleteI think that's how ideas happen for me as well.
Love~
Just because they are 'play' doesn't mean they are not amazing pieces! You should make them available for sale!
ReplyDeleteyou work never ceases to amaze me... each item so unique in its own way... simply love it
ReplyDeleteI love them all! Never think about what's "right". Do whatever comes to you. Anything that keeps the creative juices flowing is the "right thing to do". Bravo, my friend!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the design, love the color harmony, lovelovelove this piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pattee. I am so glad to know I am not alone in my processing.
ReplyDeleteYou just hear about drawing and planning all of the time and I just kind of go.
Isn't it funny how one thing leads to another? A couple years ago I thought I was "it" with making grapes from clay...now the painted ladies have taken over!!! Theres even an idea...a painted lady with grapes...sorta carmen miranda!! lol. Marie...as always you work and now your "play " is awesome! Big hugs to you Beth

ReplyDeleteReally cool. I love the metal elements incorporated into the brooch. It has a quirky Victorian feel, a bit otherworldly.

Wow, Marie - this piece is really gorgeous. I love the mood of it. :) Makes me happy! Keep doodling!!!!! xox Pam
ReplyDeletePS And please hug Madi for me. :)
Thank you Moriah! I don't worry about it too much anymore. I used to though. I find that this is the best way for me.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Julianna and thanks for popping over!
ReplyDeleteHi Marie - this is such a lovely brooch! The face is so serene, and the details are all so beautiful. Terrific job! Theresa
ReplyDeleteSteampunk IS a difficult art to not only do but do right without easily going into overkill. I guess thats one of the reasons i have never gotten into doing it myself. Yet you do it so well. I think this is a good look for your already great looking angels.
ReplyDeleteIntense in true punkart style yet still powerfully alive with feeling too. Excellent love it.
Ooh, impressive, Marie! That's a great copperish color, and I like the jewel on her forehead, like a crystal bindi. Pencil, pen, paint, clay, fabric...does not matter; they are all art media. You do such wondrous things with clay, and it's thrilling watching your ideas come to life in 3D!
ReplyDeleteoh my word im in love !!!!! this is soooo stunning
