Some of the remaining art from Journey to Terra Flora will be in the second room at Galeria Regina through October 26th. A new show, “The Mind’s Eye,” opens tonight, 5-9pm, featuring artists Kate Silvis, Sam Wethern, and Cameron Wethern. I’m looking forward to seeing what they’ve made. Hope to see you there!
Thanks to everyone for sharing another great night at Galeria Regina!
The encore reception was full of great energy and wonderful conversations. Thanks again to @ryshu and @danielcurranart for all your hard work and beautiful art. You guys are the best . There are still a few sculptures up for grabs. I’ll be posting about available art soon, so keep an eye out if you wanted something, but missed the show.Special thanks to @thevoyagerpeacock and @brittanymunson for all their work helping with the show and snapping candid photos throughout the night. So much appreciated! ?
Casting a Woolly Caterpillar
This is a split mold, which means I poured it as a single block and cut it open for casting. Check out the below picture to see the original sculpt set up for molding. I put vents in the middle to prevent air bubbles. The blocks beneath the caterpillar are reservoirs to make pouring the resin easier.
Get your own cutie this Saturday at Galeria Regina, 5-9pm.
Buttermilk Sky Dreamer ️
On view at Galeria Regina, encore reception this Saturday, 5-9pm.
Woolly Caterpillar
Another Woolly Caterpillar, grown from dreams, a sweet fuzzball living in an alien flower-scape. This one has been adopted, but there are still a couple colorways left! Check em out in person, along with new art by @ryshu and @danielcurranart at Galeria Regina, this Saturday 9-5pm.
This Golden Toothed Beauty grants wishes
One touch of the golden tooth is all it takes, simply reach inside. The glitter mouth awaits. See this human eater and more at Journey to Terra Flora at Galeria Regina Saturday August 17th, 5-9 pm.

Cutting teeth for the Golden Toothed Beauty
They’re made out of L200, a closed-cell foam used in puppet and costume fabrication. It’s heat formable, can be carved/ sanded, and it’s easy to paint. I used this foam for most of the flower, finishing the surface with neoprene and acrylics to give it a resilient rubbery skin.
There’ll be an encore reception at Galeria Regina August 17th 5-9pm if you missed seeing this toothy beast the first time around.
Thanks so much to everyone who came out last night!
The show turned out great, and I’ve really enjoyed sharing it with you. It’s been fantastic collaborating with such hardworking talented artists @danielcurranart. Special thanks to @ryshu for planning and organizing this show on top of making awesome work and Galeria Regina for hosting another wonderful show. If you missed the opening or want to take a second look, the art will continue to hang through August, and we’ll have an encore reception August 17th. I’ll be posting more behind the scenes photos here in the meantime.

Demolding
I’ll have a fresh batch of Gumheads in the upcoming show. This will be the last drop of Dubble Bubble and Very Berry Gumheads for the foreseeable future, so save the date if you want to score one! July 13th at Galleria Regina. A Gumhead getting its arms. These little guys are double cast, which is just what it sounds like. After casting and painting the core, I fit it into a second mold to cast the translucent layer.
This is the underpainting for one of the holographic powder blooms
The colorshift pigment is translucent, but will really transform the finished look. I can’t wait to share them with you! Check it out in person at Journey to Terra Flora at Galeria Regina July 13th 5-9pm. @ryshu @danielcurranart
Adding in some shadow tones. ?
For this step, I diluted acrylic paint with airbrush medium. This helps the paint flow into the details while maintaining some transparency in the high points. It’s all about making those final details pop.
Journey to Terra Flora opens July 13th at Galeria Regina. Link to event in bio. RSVP for details.
Sneak peak
Blossoms waiting patiently for the art show. I can’t wait to take some good pictures of these! One of my favorite things about mold making getting to experiment with different looks on one sculpture. Each flower is a little different and completely one of a kind. These and more will be at Journey to Terra Flora, opening July 13th at Galeria Regina. Hope to see you there!

Paint in progress
See all the weird stuff I’ve been making at Galeria Regina, Saturday July 13, 5-9 pm.
