A Taste of Voodoo

As you may or may not know i am a Louisiana creole, and as often seems to be the case i have a bit of magic running through my blood. so when i recently visited NOLA i gathered some spanish moss, prepared and dried it and brought it back for a natural creation material. Once home I gathered up some local natural materials, and so I found myself ready to make voodoo dolls. Don't be fooled these are the real thing and not meant for toying with. Each one is filled with the intention of the dolls design and i find that i cant make more than one in a day. Its a very interesting process that i find i enjoy.

This is the queen of hearts. She is meant to draw love to you or help you keep the love you have

I gave it to my friend Ryan before he headed to his new home. 

 This one I made to myself. She is for bringing health which i could sure use some more of

 This particular gaudy girl is meant to bring wealth, here's to hoping :)

There will soon be more I am sure. If you would like to order one of your own be sure to hit me up and i can begin its creation.

Because dolls are creepy

I found this little beauty and knew immediately that I needed to play a bit with her appearance. I dyed her dress with all natural ingredients you can find in your kitchen with hot water and salt, after drying I proceeded to apply flame for a nice aged look. I hand dyed her hair and painted her skin to match. For an extra touch of the creepy she plays music, though I don't what song.

If you would like to purchase this creepy little beauty feel free to comment :)

hand painted jars: weekend project

I've been meaning to do this for a long time. I've had the jars and supplies sitting around and they finally beckoned loud enough for me to listen. Here is the result:

just keep drawing

and here is my doodle of the day:

a sea of bottle caps

I finally almost got around to pouring resin in my bottle caps. i flattened them each with a hammer, cut out a pic (mostly from magazines) glued it in, sealed it and then poured resin over the top to make the images permanent. now all i have to do is add holes and i will have the beginning of pendants, earrings, hair pieces and any accessory that comes the mind :)

cobra comin' for ya
