I can imagine the BAD looking around her home and lighting on a plain ol' plastic electrical outlet plate and exclaiming "AHA!"
And a short time later, this is what came out of her artistic imagination.
Now if you're thinking she lives with some guy named Tolkien, you'd be wrong.
Those "rings" all came from her visionary brain and fingertips.
I had to ask her how it was done and here's what she told me (I think).
It was created using a polymer clay, then baked in her oven and painted with chrome bumper spray.
I thought it was done but today she said she's going to add some black and copper touches to it with a paintbrush to make it "pop" a bit more.
I can hardly wait to see what amazing creation she will turn out next.
(p.s. She said I should add "It's for sale for one million dollars.")
thecontemplativecat here. That is amazing. Clay? Wow. Lots of talent there.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice. The gal's got me thinking.
ReplyDeleteIt's great, I'd replace one of mine in a NY minute, but...where do the screws go?
ReplyDeleteSorry, that last was me
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing, and I would think extraordinarily marketable...as a premium decorating touch. There are some effective on-line marketing sites, but those are so cool I would think a local decorator or builder would be interested. WOW. She is amazing-cant say that enough. tc/light/breezes
ReplyDeleteShe is clever!
ReplyDeleteA million dollars? Hah! Chump change, I'll take a dozen.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, no need to get all excited.
Dear Bruce, I’ve been in touch with the Victoria and Albert Museum in London - and their appraisers are of the opinion that one million U.S. is quite reasonable for this remarkable work that clearly pays homage to the advent of electricity in the United States and that the copper finish will reflect as well the mining industry in the state she calls home, with the historical copper town and now artist’s colony of Jerome close by. They would like to discuss terms for an acquisition. With best wishes, Dave Marquis
ReplyDeleteWith light switch surrounds like that I would be turning the lights on and off all the time. Brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteOnce she has the design they can be scanned and 3-D printed, my local library has two printers running most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing BAD's creative work. Such a beautiful idea for a plug-in outlet. (NewRobin13)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift she has! It is stunning.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's very creative!
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely talented!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art coming from an ordinary source. When my mom was in assisted living, I replaced her light switch plates with some decorated ones. She loved art and since she couldn't take all of her pieces with her I looked for smaller pieces to fill in the smaller spaces.
