Nephew Korbyn's Birthday Present

    

Yay for old CDs and Floppy Disks. The funny thing is, once my nephew gets older he won't even know what a floppy disk is. But hopefully this mixed media piece will help cultivate him a bit :)

The "K" for Korbyn is made out of paint stir sticks that I spray painted forest green, thought it contrasted well with the yellow. So, this is just another piece done by his Auntie Callie to add to the collection that his mother has so sweetly hung on his nursery wall. 

Happy 1st Birthday Korbyn Turner!

House With No Home

This piece is currently up on my Etsy account, feel free to go shop around. Gerry Grant's Art on Etsy

This particular piece was inspired by the band Horse Feathers, and their song "Curs in the Weeds". It is a mixed media piece involving magazine clippings, wooden sticks, and leaves. 

This is one of my favorite canvas pieces is a long time. 

Corkboard Art, for the Little Ones

I've been making Corkboard Creatures for pinning pictures and other stuff on for nurseries and other cutesy places. More to come and soon you can purchase them on Etsy and upon request of creature!

Triptych Vase with Horse Hair

I made this piece by throwing three cylinder vases on the wheel and once they were a bit dry, I slipped and scored to connect them. I then went in with more clay to reinforce the connection. Once it was a bit more dry, I went in and carved the detail such as the dots on the rims and the black curves in the middle of each vase. 

I used a white Terasig glaze, buffed it, and then did a raku firing. Once out of the firing, it was sat on a lazy suzanne and cooled for about 3-5 minutes. We then got the horse hair (thanks to Andre and Austin) and layed it on the still steaming hot vase. We drug the horse hair in certain places for different effects, and as it burned it left the black lined designs that you see all over the piece. 

I went in with black acrylic paint and painted in the details. It is a very "southwest" piece especially with the red-orange flowers I chose. 

Portrait Sculpture Finally Fired and Finished!

I am so happy with how this piece came out. The shoulder did chip off with pulling it out of the barrels after the raku, however, it only adds to the crackle effect. I used a White Crackle Raku glaze on studio clay which made it the amazing flesh tone. 

My "CA" tattoo, carved into the neck (although mine is on my wrist). The nickname that Gerry Grant himself gave me.
