Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park / Shaves in the dark trying to save paper / Sleeps in a hole in the road / Saving up to buy some clothes ...

ArTFeSt 2011

I am super proud and excited to announce that I have been invited to teach at ArtFest 2011, March 24-28th in Pt. Townsend, WA.   I will be teaching all three days, with three different classes.  Its a popular event so register early.

Doll Transformed

  

Junk Birds

Happy Harpies

 

If your not familiar with Artfest, it is an amazing experience. Talk to people… Check it out.. I have gone as a student for years and I live on a starving artist budget so coming up with the tuition was always a bit challenging.   But every year after I had gone and make art, laughed,made new friends, and soaked up the beautiful environment.   It feels worth every penny!!

Description
Jack Knife Butterfly
Original Found Object Assemblage
By Clarissa Callesen

6.5” x 8” x 1.5'
Ready to hang
Signed on back

I found this beautiful old jack knife that had obviously been well loved at a garage sale and it became the center piece the body for this butterfly creature.
The face is one of my hand sculpted ceramic charms. The wings are constructed of glorious flotsam and jetsam, including old lace, ribbon, wooden beads, brocade,and buttons.
The entire piece is mounted on a rusty tin and a beautiful piece of old tongue and grove from a deconstructed box.
All my pieces are signed on the back and finished with a matte sealing spray and beeswax.
