Last week my friend Tara Locklear (she's posted on here I'd say every couple of months!) introduced me to the street artist Vexta (Tara will be working on a joint project with her sometime this year) and I really enjoy her pieces and invitationals.
So I thought I'd share some of her videos of the projects she's done. Vexta is known in the graffiti community as super talented for cutting her own stencils. Below is a video of a momento mori project. I just love this idea of the eggs and painting birds on them.
As always thanks for visiting!

Birds of Paradise
As you know I have quite the affinity for birds, and when I learned of a bird sanctuary just an hour away from Greenville, in Scotland Neck - well I just had to go!
I went with my fiance and his parents and grandfather and we had such a great time seeing such a wide variety of birds from all over the world. Here are just several shots I snapped of my favorite birds from Sylvan Heights Bird Park.

| This bird had the longest eyelashes and was very curious about us. |

| Peacocks are gorgeous and they know it! |

| It was so hard to get a good shot of this very large eagle owl. but I got a semi decent one. |

Birds
I didn't realize until several minutes ago how much I love bird imagery. It sounds like a duh moment, considering my most popular jewelry is cast from birds but I guess I never really analyzed it.
My late grandmother, Anne, loved birds. She had a whole room devoted to birds, we called it the bird room. My grandma was such a wonderful person and I'd like to think she somehow passed her love of birds on to me.
With that this post is dedicated to the beauty of birds and the delicate and somber art of Lauren Gray of The Haunted Hollow Tree.
It's on my Christmas wishlist to get one of her prints!

Maybe Sparrow
I love it when I'm offered/invited to participate in an exhibition because it gives me the opportunity and excuse to create a one of a kind piece that deviates a bit from what I normally make. In essence, I get to play and that is always fun!
Every year Equinox Gallery in San Antonio, TX participates and hosts a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) exhibition. This year, I wanted my piece to not be the traditional Catrina (mistress of the dead) or something so identifiable. I also wanted to use the bird bones and skull that my future mother in law gifted me (she always finds some cool dead animal on their property).
I incorporated my signature Vespa shape, the pentagon, to highlight the skull. I named this piece Maybe Sparrow after one of my favorite Neko Case songs; I'm just so pleased with this piece. I hope you like it too!
