Mixed Media Sculptures

Silver Squid

Teal and White Nudibranch

Cuttlefish

Medium: Polymer clay, seashells, gravel, bottles, acrylic resin.

A new tiny version of my Perma-Pets. These unique sculpted polymer clay sea creatures are suspended in clear acrylic resin inside a little glass bottle. Each Perma-Pet is a one of a kind (ooak) creation, hand painted with artist acrylics and sealed before being encased in resin.

The name Perma-Pet come from the fact that these are pets you can’t kill, for those who have little luck with aquariums.

Current Mini Perma-Pets can be found in my Etsy shop.

Odin’s Runesong

Mixed Media Fantasy Sculpture

Click each image below for full sized version.

Subject: Fantasy / Mythology

Medium: Super sculpey, wire, pine plaque

Size: Tree is 24 inches (61 cm), Odin is 12 inches (30.5 cm) feet to head.

Date: September 2007.

Description: Based on the poem from the Poetic Edda. If you would like to read the full poem click here: Odin’s Runesong. To sum it up, Odin sacrificed himself to himself by hanging for nine days and nights on the world tree Yggdrasil in order to gain the secret of the runes. This is my interpretation of that scene based on a resurection suspension.

Lionfish Mermaid

Lionfish Mermaid

One of a Kind Polymer Clay Bust

Subject: Fantasy

Medium: Super sculpey, TLS, acrylic paint, pearl-ex powers, aventurine beads, glass beads

Size: 9.5 inches (24cm)

Date: November 2007

Description: This was a great commission, the client Mike really gave me complete flexibility in creating a mermaid bust. So I based her on a lionfish which is a really beautiful and venomous tropical fish and she’s holding another venomous animal, a blue-ringed octopus. On the base are strands of seaweed with aventunturine beads inset. Also a cuttlefish with glass bead eyes, silver-green minnows, and an orange jellyfish who’s body is made of half a glass bead.

The fins were made with transluscent liquid sculpey (TLS) over white floral wire veins and painted with acrylics. What isn’t obvious from the photos is that the entire torso has a very slight sheen to it of interference gold pearlex powder, and the freckles on her face are pearlescent.
