Get on Over!

Here are some non-paper projects from Jean.   Still utilizing a collage method for the chairs .....

I WAS ENAMOURED BY CHAIRS ~ I did a serious of fun recycled chairs with themes, the ones above are;  "Are we there yet?"   with vintage maps, postcards, bead trim, alpha collage and paints;  "The Apple Blossom Princess Chair" utilizing wooden embellishments, glass knobs, hand painting, collage art & hand mixed paints;   "Just because you can-can doesn't mean you should-should" - was inspired by a birthday card I received, it has dancing frogs and colorful trims of wood, plastic and paints.

 
The above piece was part of a study in spheres that I did in college.   The removable sphere was also a noise maker.  The glaze was Chun, with gold leaf applied after firing in a raku kiln.  The style was handbuilding and slab work.

This piece is a raku firing, in a handbuilt coil manner.   After glazing, the piece was scrubbed with a wire brush and a copper wax was used to burnish the surface.   This piece won a first place award, judged by the ASU Art Dept. Chairman.  I was over the moon!
