New head/bust I’m going to be using for an armature for paper clay.  I’m eager to get started.

These are the guys I showed on a prevision post.  Just got them on the bases and a good coat of black gesso.  Black gesso makes me very happy.  My favorite is Golden,  but  the other brands are good also.  Just don’t buy the really cheap stuff.  It’s runny,  doesn’t cover… might as well use paint. 

Back to work.  Hope ya’ll are having a nice Sunday.  hugs, PJ

Boo in a Box looks a lot better in this photo don’t ya think?  More like he’s doin’ Halloween instead of a white sheet sale at Macy’s.  I’m thinkin’ I’m gonna do a larger one of these similar. 

Did ya see my CrowFish?  Yes, it’s a new species… discovered by me,  PJ Hornberger,  of course.  They travel far and wide,  especially on Halloween.  I highlighted him with iridescent watercolors in blues, greens,  and silvers.  He shimmers when you walk by.  I am totally in love with him.  He came out exactly like I saw him in my head.  Yes,  I do have visions.  Sometimes I can make them appear… other times I just wish they had.

Wanna see more photos of the crow?  Oh, hush… I know you do.

Just think… he could be yours….

Brown Eyed Handsome Fish

Sweet Sue Star Fish

For about 5 minutes I thought I wanted to do another theme show… then I got over it.  Drives me crazy when I finish a piece,  I want to show somebody  NOW! 

So I decided not to deprive myself or you.    Yes,  I’m thoughtful that way….

All the details on these fish will be on  PJ’s Whimsical Shop. 

Thanks for looking.. more fish will be swimming this way very soon.

  Had to stop and take a shower.  I had clay in my hair,  and everywhere else.  Since I’ve been up since 3am… I thought a nap might be a good thing.  Then I can get back on it.  I love to work fast.  Cook fast,  sew fast.  It’s the only speed I know.

It is hotter than blue blazes out there.  That Texas weather is here.  Look out, it’s coming your way.  zzzzzzz…….
