Dia De Los Muertos 2010

My little home display that I have set up. With my art, my daughter's art (the mirror in the center) and a piece I bought from Michael DeMeng at Art & Soul in Portland last year.

I bought this piece last year when taking Micheal's class at Art and Soul in Portland and then when I was at my friend Marianne's last night I saw this magazine with the cover article on how he makes these pieces.
Here is my version but instead of plastic I used a porcelain sculpture and a metal lamp fixture. I antiqued it, covered it with a varnish and added some Apoxie clay since last posting of it.

What kind of drugs are you taking?

After holed up in my studio Friday afternoon I proudly came out and showed off newest creation "Senor Raton" to my husband. He said "how did you come up with that idea" and I replied , "it just popped into my head" and he said, "What kind of drugs are you taking back there?"
