Maria Rubinke
Hello, everyone! I had a phenomenal guest author last week, but I’ve missed it here. What better way to express the maddening frustration of a hiatus (and the fact that my posts might still be light on the verbiage for a while to come) than with these sculptures by Maria Rubinke?
Although I have had health issues for quite sometime, these recent ones have affected my typing AND talking ability so I’ve been…*nudge nudge, wink, wink* tearing my hair out.
Been told in the past that I have a bleeding heart, metaphorically at least…

I didn’t see an artist site with a quick search glance, but see a few more bloody innards of innocence at the Source.

I know you are going batty with everything. I’m glad I could help keep this rolling, and am here whenever you need me. You are missed.

Thank you again.

I’m glad you’re back, I very much enjoied vintage lab week and if Mr. hearseman has a blog of his own I will certainly follow it. What makes me glad the most is that, quite possibly, you being back means that you are in good health.
I also enjoy the fine porcelain demented twistedness of Maria Rubinke, you haven’t lost your touch.

Thanks so much! Mr Hearseman has a blog filled with great obscure music (http://fritzdiesspinne.blogspot.com/) but it’s not been updated recently due to his other creative pursuits.

Sugar itself is a great remedy…skull shaped sugar may indeed be perfect. Thank you!

Welcome back!
That little girl looks so pleased with herself, “look what I can do!” I was always sceptical of innocence, now I know it has bloody innards I know why.

If only I had impressed my parents with such skill as a toddler.

Welcome back!! We missed you! Mr. Hearseman’s lab week was fun and went right along with your great post.
This has triggered a long ago dream! One of my children did a similar activity in it and I was rather upset. It was messy and hard to put the child back together again.

Luckily, (most) children don;t break this easily. Well…I do…

Welcome back! Sorry to hear you aren’t 100% yet – keep resting as much as you can! As for these sculptures? Whimsical and terrifying, a fabulous combination!
