There's No Place Like Home

I have journeyed back to my hometown in New England and as soon as I get all the boxes out of my way - I'll be creating once again in my (new) art room.

Trick or Treat! Black Cat and Masked Jack Buckets at Bayberry Cove!

Bayberry Cove now has my quality licensed Halloween reproductions from ESC Trading Company on their fabulous online shopping site. Check it out. Pictured are my original papier mache creations.

"Spring Chick" now in my Etsy shop!

This cute little chick is ready for Spring, he’s looking for someone to deliver this special egg to and is now in my Etsy shop. (see link at right "Alycia's Art Etsy Shop" under "Where to Buy My "Original" Handcrafted Artworks" heading)

“Spring Chick” is an original hand sculpted and hand painted papier mache art piece. The polka dot egg shaped body with spiral twisted wire legs stands on a 3” diameter round papier mache box. He has a ruffled collar made of layers of antiqued crepe paper. His wings are attached with a small wire peg and also glued to keep secure. The small papier mache egg he is holding has been glittered to look like sugar crystals. I individually handmade twelve of these little chicks in 2006, and each is signed, dated and numbered. I only have three left, this one is #9 out of 12. Approximately 6” high

UPDATE: Harrey & Harreit Quality Licensed Reproductions

You can now buy the quality licensed paper pulp reproductions of my Lil' Harrey and Lil' Harreit at the fabulous online shop "Bayberry Cove". (Big Harrey and Big Harreit are already sold out.)

From the Art Room

Here's just a sampling of the many original designs I do in papier mache for every season. My mind is constantly whirling with new ideas for characters to create. I love the artistic process of taking my drawings and sketches and bringing them to life in three dimensional form. Well, back to my art room to get elbow deep in some papier mache!

Harrey & Harreit Quality Licensed Reproductions

In 2007 I was selected as a gift designer for ESC Trading Company, Inc. of Ohio. Quality licensed paper pulp reproductions of my Harrey and Harreit papier mache bunnies are now at gift boutiques and specialty shops Nationwide. I'm very excited because my Lil' Harrey and Lil' Harreit have already sold out from ESC. Pictured are the licensed papier pulp reproductions from ESC Trading Company, Inc.

Happy Valentine's Day

A very Happy Valentine's Day to all.
Every year my husband (also an artist) and I make each other Valentine cards, instead of purchasing gifts. I think it makes the day more of what it was intended to be, taking the time to create something that has meaning. A little bit of our heart, in an envelope and sealed with a kiss.

"Heart Art" at The Village Firefly

Last night's "Heart Art" event was magical. A wonderful time spent with friends, old and new. I'd like to thank Jody and Candy of The Village Firefly and Dusty, editor of Skirt! Magazine Houston, for all their efforts to making it such a special evening. Thank You!

It's Almost "Heart Art" Time!

I've been working like crazy in my art studio getting ready for the big event - "Heart Art at The Village Firefly" this Thursday night. Should be a fun time filled with folk art, skirtinis, nibbles and great company!

Art works by other Heart Artists include: Leoma Lovegrove, Susan Marie Brown and Karen Helenthawl

"SOLD! to the highest bidder"

Thursday night's art event held at the Lawndale Art & Performance Center, "Kickin' Cancer Out of Texas" was fun! It was incredible what some people did with an old pair of cowboy boots! I was happy to see my papier mache pair of boots do well in the bidding for the Cancer Counseling, Inc. of Houston.

"Heart Art"

The Village Firefly and skirt! Magazine will be hosting a mini-skirt cocktail event "Heart Art" at the Village Firefly. I will be one of the artist featured at the event, showing my papier mache creations like my "Be Mine Man".

"Deep in the heART of Texas"

Here is my creative contribution for the 'Kickin' Cancer Out of Texas" auction fundraiser. Painted with the colors of the Texas desert are a pair of hand sculpted papier mache boots sitting upon a wooden cigar box.
