My Talented Daughter

Makes her living with all sorts of artwork, clothing design, you name it. Yesterday she showed me an amazing mask that she had created from bits of nothing:





  

If I'm nice enough to her, she'll make me one of a wolf...

Isn't it though? I can't tell you how impressed I was.

I'll be talking to her in greater detail about a wolf mask. Perhaps I can get her to do two at once, for a commission fee, of course. I'll keep you posted.

That's quite good! What's it made out of?

Wire hanger for the basic frame, with a very thick innerfacing as a base, and then various furry cloths on top. It's hard to see in the pic, but there's a very long train of hair, braids, dreadlocks and other things coming off the back that gives it an amazing look.

I told medotter that I imagined she'd have great success if she wanted to take custom orders for those at anthrocon or furcon...

Quite shamanistic.... superb work!

Agreed, and thanks for the kind words.

That's no furry mask... that's shamanist. I'm very impressed; it's beautiful.

Thanks, TK - I agree. And she does have the shamanist spirit about her... it seems to flow naturally.

Your daughter is a fox!

wait, what?


(awesome work! clearly has an eye for detail!)

Right on both counts, but you never heard me say that. ;) She's a superb artist in any medium she puts her hand to. Check out one of her more complex clothing designs here (http://www.fototime.com/ftweb/bin/ft.dll/pictures?userid={8456C291-B9ED-47EB-8162-74B249BC1072}&AlbumId={39D4E142-D4E0-4B28-974E-6D5083219AD2}&GroupId={089B35D9-A797-4D9C-97A6-DF4B7A7E028E}). I'll post some of her other artwork later...

some really inventive work! Is she looking at design work full time?

[identity profile] ccdesan.livejournal.com 2008-09-13 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Actually she's casting about for her way to make a difference in the world. She wishes she could find a commune or community of people who are building a self-sustainable environment where she could contribute, but thus far hasn't found a match. In the meantime, she does whatever artwork the muses lead her to.
