New Toy, Ponyboy

Just finished this toy with breast necklace. I wanted a feeling of the mother powered breast instead of the breast as male toy. So I went to the Goddess from Ephesus, Turkey Artemis. For me the skeleton is the frame work, this child's  foundation is the horse. I'm not the first to think of Artemis, Louise Bourgeois for one found inspiration there. 

Hel's studio

So it's October again 5 years since I lost my studio in the Cedar Fire and finally I feel like I'm up and beginning to run again.

Sculptures....toys with a feeling for ritual seem to be in the forefront.

I'm starting to want them to have stories or rituals that come out with them.

Like a strange coming out party.

Some are even rattles. They are surely going to need special boxes.
