Fear not, my dear followers for I haven't completely given up yet! I've been participating in a monthly local art shows organized by Dave Kaule which have been always been super fun. The last show was held on October 31 at the OTB Bicycle Bar in the South Side and there was a great turn out. It was a sugar skull themed Halloween/costume party and everyone who participated had to incorporate their sugar skull design onto a paper mache skull. I reconstructed a Barbie styling bust using paint, fake flowers and a LOT of hot glue. It turned out a little kitschy, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Check out some of the pictures...
This was taken the night I finished it (at work, of course)...
my best friend and I on our way to the art show... we had to ride the bus all bloody - haha! (P.S. - we did our own makeup)
My sugar skull with some of the other participants...
I'm glad someone took pictures because I left my camera at home :(
I really can't wait to start next month's project. I heard it's either going to be toilet seat themed for skateboard deck themed - both of which are pretty awesome. I PROMISE I'll keep you guys updated (you know, the one or two people who actually follow my blog). Until next time...
