New Wire Work

I took a little time out to make some more wire art in between redoing my studio and freelance projects. I really missed bending wire and it was great to get back at it! Some of these pieces are for sale in a local gallery here in KC named SavArt Gallery and some are destined for my upcoming new online shop. If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these pieces, please email me at tammy@tammysmithdesign.com.

Meditation Monday-apology....

Okay so I've been remiss--I haven't continued on my Desiderata road for a few weeks now...but I do have an excuse. I was invited to make some of my 3D mixed media pieces for a show called Paint The Town that took place last Saturday night here in KC. It was such a fun event! I made some new wire pieces and chatted with folks along with selling some of my pieces-here's a few of them:

                      The Bookworm-made from an old dictionary, clay, dollhouse lamp, wood

 
                                  The Monkey Suit-glass cloche, wood, wire, metal, clay

Forest For The Trees-wire, clay, fabric, metal, LED bulb, electric cord

Favorite Things--NAPS!

I love me some naps....just got up from one, as a matter of fact. My friend Laura Huliska-Beith, an awesome children's book illustrator and author, says that naps are like "shaking and resetting the Etch-A-Sketch" in your head and I think she's right. I typically will draw something or get some ideas down in the morning, then take a 30 minute nap later in the afternoon and look at my morning work right after I get up from the nap. Never fails that I see something I didn't before or notice something that I want to change or improve. Speaking of Laura, take a look at some of her beautiful work below. Click on the top photo to go to her site to see all her beautiful work, both in 2 and 3D. She's a multi-talented person, beautiful inside and out (not to mention a wonderful friend who also happens to have one of the best senses of humor that I've ever known!)
