Big Fun With Foam
This little page is dedicated to my little fun foray into BIG goofy pieces created in foam, it's something I am hoping to do a lot more of, and I find it a most enjoyable and hilarious process and final product!
CardBoard Fishie
It all started with this little guy (12 inches), during covid we had a lot of down time, and a lot of delivery boxes... (AND I HAD PAINT, GLUE AND EXACTO BLADES)I had a little bit of fun taking a old doodle out of my sketch book and creating a piece of impromptu wall art. I've never really thought of cardboard as a final product, so I never considered selling these. This fish still is with me in my studio today, his cheesy smile brightens my day.
What do you call a fish with no eyes?

CardBoard Shell Game
I saw something inspiring on facebook regarding making faces from relatively random shapes of cardboard, which as I've said, I had an abundance of, so I decided to give that a try. I made a nice BIG HEAD of about 2.5 feet and had a lovely time jazzing up each piece individually. The materials were all very easily accessible (Cardboard, Glue, Exacto blades, Paint etc). Again I never really thought of cardboard being a final product, so this fellow also grimaces at me in my studio, brightening my day in his own unique way.
Fun with Foam
When I was in high school we had a lot of fun with this foam, it seemed like the perfect answer to the question of the next step! Although I weeded out the random nature of the exercise I created another head inspired by the decor of the house I was in! One room being almost entirely beach design seemed like a great escape from the claustrophobia of covid shut down! The foam (8 foot sheets cheap at Home Depot at the time) lended itself beautifully to what I had in mind. This piece also is housed to this day in my studio. people seem to love the fake wooden teeth! This merry fella is so light weight I can just find a single nail and "press him into place." He obediently stays put, delighted to watch the goings on in my studio!
