High Heel Shoes

These heels weight about 5 pounds.  They are filled with a cement compound to keep the shape of the shoe.
 
Skull/Femur
 Skull/Femur
This plastic replica of a baby skull has approximately 8000 Swarovski crystals attached to it.  The femur bone belonged to a woman named Clair.  She was a 74 year old from Canada.  I did this for my tattoo artist.  I did not ask where he got it from.
 
Mosaics

I was inspired by an artist named Sharon Von Senden. She created the mosaic that covers the walls and floor at the St. Louis Museum. Her work can be seen at http://www.mosaicatlas.com/atlassite.aspx?RegionID=55&LocationID=321. It is absolutely stunning.

"The Scream" In Process
 "The Scream" In Process
I have been inspired to create a very unique piece of art.  I am taking Edvard Munch's "The Scream" and recreating it on a 30' x 40" canvas.  I'm using #2 glass bugle beads.  This adventure will be very time consuming and I'll update this page periodically showing my progress.
