Peppermint Swirl and Fish Tends to Lie.

Over the years, I, like so many others have found Duct Tape to be a very interesting medium. It's challenging and in a category all of its own. There's some amazing duct tape artists out there and I by no means am one. I dabble and enjoy the pliable soft texture. I know I can't make elaborate dresses or flawless sculptures, but I've become quite taken with the art of duct tape flowers.
I have made some crazy things over the years out of this tricky medium. Pants, purses, sandles, prom flowers, etc. I've failed at wallets, had seams fall apart and still could help but wonder how I could do it better. I've given up so many times, yet I keep picking up the roll.

This piece is made from a small vanity lightbulb. I suppose I should have a better reference shot, but it is much smaller than it appears. Enjoy.

I haven't done much in the way of creation in a little while. I'm starting to feel the need. Ideas are beginning to flow and my hands are itching to make them happen. I have a three piece painting that needs to be clear coated so I can hang them. Once that's done Ill post pictures. I also have this gorgeous clear wine bottle I would love to do something with, but I'm not sure if I should attempt to mutilate it and create a candle holder or work on a duct tape flower arrangement. Regardless of what I decide I'll put it up. Anyways this is just a "if anyones actually reading this I'm still going to blog I'm just figuring out the next piece" entry.
Tata for now.

Shading My Upper Lip.

I did this one just before new years. It was a graduation gift for a friend of ours. It was actually more of a joke gift than anything as he can't grow a dark moustache. So I used my boyfriend as the model. :)
