For Splendor Device's "Hell Hath No Fury" show at Rothick Art Haus

The female peacock (peafowl) may or may not have offered her husband (for revenge?) and is perched upon his skull, holding one of his feathers, while their babies look on.

The pincushion flowers represent widowhood, and the perilla leaves signify "role reversal" in Floriography.  The talisman she wears around her neck is the Protection from Attackers amulet.

The show is curated by Splendor Device and is themed around female wrath/rage and will be traveling to several local galleries.

Welcome to the Doll Haus!

That's my finished piece for the "Doll Haus" show at Rothick Art Haus that's tonight and a couple progress shots underneath.
The barn owl sits upon a cat skull, the crow upon a kitten skull, and the black one is the creepy, evil-looking parrot skull.

I would have posted the finished piece sooner, but I lost my pictures when the laptop crashed last week. It was pretty scary, but my husband brought it back from the abyss.

Check out the show if you're in Orange County, there looks to be many interesting pieces. I, on the other hand, have apparently either pinched a nerve or pulled a muscle in my neck/back while lifting weights at the gym this morning, so I'll be here at home, hopped up on Ibuprofen and beer.

Tonight is the Circus!
