Petting Zoo

Here are some images from "Petting Zoo", a show of my papier mache animals at Swoon - Fine Art, Antiques & Fashion   July 9th - July 31st, 2011.  The idea was to turn the red room of Swoon into an indoor petting zoo, which included a couple animals you might not normally see at one...

Alpaca

Chickens

Cobra and chicks

Gila Monster

Duck and ducklings

Pygmy Goats

Pig

Lamb and Sheep

More pics, as well as dimensions and prices can be viewed at Swoon's website!

Pulp Creatures Headed to Regina

I just finished a batch of Pulp Creatures which I'll soon be posting to the Paper Umbrella in the Cathedral area of Regina, SK.  I began making papier mache animals for sale in 2005 when I lived down the street from Paper Umbrella; Brad and Theresa have kindly sold hundreds of my creatures between 2005 and 2008; so I'm excited to post some back there now that I live in Halifax!  Here they are as a group in the main gallery at Swoon in Hammonds Plains Nova Scotia:

Update:  It's March 30th and I just posted the creatures!  I hope they make it to Regina safely!

This batch has:

Giraffe,

Buffalo (2)

Rabbits (3)

Cow

Sheep

Ladybugs (2)

Snails (2)

Goat,

Pronghorn,

"Lovestruck" Birds (3)

"Lovestruck" Bear

"Lovestruck" Duck

Duckling

And Helen, the big white Duck, named after my dear friend Helen Opie! this duck reminds me of her, in a very good way!
