Sepia In my Shop~New Photos in Etsy

I have some new Sepia toned photographs in my Etsy shop Rowan DeVoe Arts.  They are both Self-Portrait photographs where I have dashed to beat the 10-sec. timer.  One looks like a serene portrait and the other I am actually dashing away.  But, the way I took these photographs and all of my self-portrait photographs is my secret.  No one gets to watch me taking them which is why I just can't have any help or an assistant.  My finished photographs are always a bit mysterious, but mystery has always been a huge part of my art.  Mystery is something I love.

Besides my own Self-Portrait Photographs, I hope to be able to share a new Photography Project that I have been working on very soon!

Hope all of you are having a great week!

OK, time for something totally different. I am working on commissions for dolls and need a little break. I am looking at my Circus/Carnival Characters that I did for the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. They were done to be part of an Exhibit of Alexander Calder's work-especially his Circus themed works. My pieces are collaged monotypes in 3D form so they are peaking out from behind their borders. I put them in gilded shadowboxes that I made. Each of the smaller pieces is about 2x3 feet big and the biggest piece is 3x4 feet.

It was a very colourful show and I loved Calder's pieces from his larger mobiles to his little paintings. What did I love best? Photos of his studio! Why? Because it was the biggest mess I have ever seen! Ha! It makes my messes look just silly. There was even some film footage of him in his studio with a friend who is saying something about the mess and Calder is just laughing about it. I love that too! So here's to making art and plenty of messes while you go!
