"The Music of ABBA" on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

We took a trip down to the Mississippi Gulf Coast this past week-end to hear a concert by "Arrival" called "The Music of ABBA". If this tour comes near you and you loved this music....go and enjoy all the ABBA songs including of course "Dancing Queen" and "Ma Ma Mia".  They look and sound just like the original ABBA...they had the entire audience rocking down.

While we were there, it was possible that Hurricane Bonnie would arrive, but thank goodness she decided to fade away. The beaches looked great, so if you need a vacation, don't hesitate to go to the Mississippi beautiful gulf coast.

 
Beautiful sand on the beaches, new piers have been built back since Katrina

 
This is an oil containment boom that has been in the water and I guess they have cleaned it.

 

Here is a boom in the water to protect the marsh.

 

These pictures were taken in the car on our trip back home from the Gulf Coast. These fast moving clouds were remnants from Hurricane Bonnie.
 
 
 
 
 

Caught that flag just right as we went whizzing by.
 

I glanced in the rear view mirror and here is what i saw..it was a beautiful drive home with the constant changing clouds.
   

 
   

Lady Kat Vampire

This Vampire is a full body sculpt of puppen fimo.  She is a 9" figure and sits on the mosaic base with the rod and tube method so she can be removed for shipping. The base is handmade with mosaic tiles, beads and found objects. The entire piece is 12".  I dressed her in silk gauze and black silk velvet.  Her bat wings are made from muslin over wire and painted black with some iridescent paint; they are not removable.  She has beautiful yellow kat eyes.  This sculpture is One of a Kind (OOAK) She is on her way to her new home.

 

  

ADO Wonderland Challenge

 
Art Dolls Only  (ADO) is having their second  annual challenge and this time it is "Alice in Wonderland".  Let's face it, since the film came out we are all inspired all over again by Alice and her wonderful companions. So hop on over to Art Dolls Only blog and check out all the artists that will be participating.  Each Artist will have a doll on their blog that represents Wonderland. 

My entry is the Cheshire Cat holding Alice and the White Rabbit.  The entire piece is sculpted from an air dry clay over a strong wire armature and painted with acrylics.  This sculpture is one of a kind never to be created again.  He was a fun piece to work on.

Halloween Queen's Castle Bootique

Queen's Castle Bootique is now open

 

And here is my contribution....Witch Angie

She is an 8" figure with a soft poseable body.  I sculpted her head, hands and feet from puppen fimo and dressed her in silk velvet and silk gauze.  She sits on two antique wooden blocks. She holds a magic stone on one hand.
