Nature

Swamp Duck

The back of the head is a hockey mask. The top of the head has a door hinge attached. Around the eyes is a clamp which holds the round, metal eyes in place. The bill is a piece of house siding. I used a strip of metal for the tongue. The neck is a burnt tin can wrapped in tape and thread to hold it in place. The body is a coffee can and the arms/hands are made from a wire hanger. It's bottom half is a plastic bucket. © Art Is Life, Life Is Art 2002 

 

Alfred the Fisherwolf

His ears and nose are made from cardboard. I used a plastic container for his head and body. It's fishing pole and tail are made from cardboard. I used pieces of paper for his pant legs. I used an empty spray paint can for the log he sits upon. His bobber is made from a plastic cap, wrapped in paper with a piece of piano wire for fishing line. I painted all of his details, by hand. © Art Is Life, Life Is Art 2008 

 
Rebirth

The tree is made from two sticks, with small rocks around the very base of the tree. The Owl's head is half of a Walnut shell and it's body is made from a chunk of wood. I used slivers of wood for the Owl's ears. The bodies of the two birds are made from chunks of wood with cherry seeds for heads and slivers of wood for beaks. I used chunks of wood for the Squirrel's body and tail with a cherry seed for it's head, as well as slivers of wood for it's ears and arms. For the Rabbit, I used chunks of wood for it's body, head and ears with a small piece of wood for it's tail. The platform is half of a broken wooden stake. © Art Is Life, Life Is Art 2009 


Sauropod 

(*The Biggest & Longest of Dinosaurs*)

I used a series of tin cans for the neck, with a plastic container for the head. Its tail is made from a combination of plastic containers, tin-cans and a toilet-paper roll. I used plastic bottles for the legs and plastic milk jugs for the body. I painted all of the details, by hand. © Art Is Life, Life Is Art 2010 


Triceratops

(*Three-Horned Face*)

I used three plastic containers, for its head, with a small, paper extension in front. Its horns are made from plastic yogurt containers, with paper and toilet-paper roll extensions. I used a combination of cardboard, plastic and tin containers for its body, along with a series of flat, plastic-panels surrounding them, to help hold the body structure together. The tail is made from three plastic containers. I used plastic bottles for the legs. I painted all of its details, by hand. © Art Is Life, Life Is Art 2010
