2010 Elepunk


I purchased some new books on clay and steampunk and am totally inspired to get my hands sticky again. This is my first creation (worth posting a photo of) for 2010.


Christi F. has a new awesome book out and this elepunk was inspired totally from her piece in the book with just a couple of changes and some help from a fellow "clayer" who gave me a tip on how to get the heavy trunk and the big ears to stay on his little head......lol.....thanks to her my piece is strong... I still have to attach a chain to his ear and monocle, and add just a smidgin of patina. If he changes a lot I will post another "photo". On the top of his head is a belt and buckle which is not quite noticeable.


This piece is going to an elephant collector so I hope she likes him.


And what's next.......... ahhhhhh, come back and see. I can hardly wait to start.

Love your Elepunk. Can't wait to see him all finished (with chain and patina) I'm a big fan of CF too, and love all her books.

About Me

My photo
Bend, OR, United States
I have recently started some new artistic journeys. A slight branch in the road from my first love which is painting. I am hoping to combine my painting abilities with a bit of mixed media to stretch my creativity and think outside the box. I am also doing quite a bit of jewelry design and love the steampunk assemblage although I also love creating jewelry using handmade glass lampwork. Hopefully my journey and the information/photos on this blog will inspire others to think outside the box. Please check out my other blog and my Etsy site by going to my website. http://www.dianaputnam.com Thanks for stopping by....
