Sneak peek...Easter 'Oween Bunny Swap

What's a better way to spend a snowy week-end?..creating spooky bunnies for the
Easter 'Oween Bunny Swap. Did I say that I am a Swap Virgin? I am having all sorts of fun and I
re-e-eally hope my swap partner likes what I have prepared for her.
Since I was never very good at keeping secrets...here's a little sneak peek of things yet to come. I have to admit I was hoping to have it finished and in the mail by March 1, but my hectic "real work" schedule has had me hoppin!
Don't worry Carapace...he'll be dazzleing in green and headed your way in plenty of time for the big day!
Promise!

Check out this main site for postings of all the bunny creations.

Winter Welcome!


I had a client request a winter themed diorama that she could display throughout the winter.
Here is her creation.
the entire piece is approx 18" high by 30" dia. I have used a large dried gourd, cleaned inside and out. The interior is painted in sky blue and heavily glittered with German Glass Glitter. It sits upon a round painted wooden base.
I have hand pointed the outside with a coordinating snowman and of course a blue gourd vine. Inside it holds of hand sculpted snowman from airdry clay over a small coyote gourd. He carries a paper welcome sign, hand sculpted top at and is joined my hand sculpted red birds.
A white bottle brush tree and a hand glittered tree branch are in the back ground. It comes with a 7 watt clip light so it can be illuminated from within and is accented with vintage white garland, white tissue festooning and a decorative ribbon.
If you have an idea you'd like to see, please drop me a line and I would love to create something special for you. I can be reached at lynlockwood@aol.com.
God Bless!

Another month goes by...

Well, I don't know about you but 2010 isn't wasting any time scurrying along. Here we are already into February and the creative juices are flowing and I have yet to clean my studio and make it ready for new ideas, supplies and creations headed it's way.

I am planning to exhibit in a few Summer shows this year...sort of a preview for the Halloween season. My sketch book is full of delightful characters from a twisted homegrown circus, Alice and Wonderland to Sand "witches".

The show season is booking fast and hopefully I will have a schedule to post of where and when I will be. I am looking forward to heading to the studio and bringing my visions to life. So until then....Enjoy the snow!
