Inscape Arts is delighted to announce our Grand Open House, Saturday July 14, 2012, from 12-8pm. The renovation of the 77,000 sq ft historic INS Building is now complete with upwards of 150 artists, professionals, and creative people in all disciplines working in what is now one of the largest art hubs in Seattle. We are throwing a party to celebrate!

Join us for a day of music, food, entertainment, and open studios. Wander the halls of history, and get to know the artists, artisans, collectives, small creative businesses, individuals, and non-profit organizations who focus on arts and culture. Disciplines in the building include performance art and theater, music and dance, sculpture and assemblage, painting and photography, writing, digital media, and a wide variety of other mediums.

The Grand Open House will coincide with the first day of Dragon Fest 2012, the two-day Chinatown-International District celebration.

Long nose face sculptures. These smaller sculptures are my best little weirdos.
They are light weight and look great alone or in small group.

Raven Meets Crow now on Etsy!

Mosaic and installation artist Jennevieve has created small sculptural works and made them available on Etsy at Raven Meets Crow, as of yesterday!
I was there for the photoshoot of this wired, buttoned, screwed crow sculpture and it's fantastic. It's beautifully balanced on its wire feet and has so much life. It's the embodiment of the raven and all we love about them.

Urban Mermaid

She's off to the show this afternoon.

Sneak Preview of new sculptures

Can't show any more than this and ruin the anticipation.

Must. keep. posting.

Am turning the studio upside down again. I like to shift things about, rethink the ergonomics. Am always surprised when I didn't figure this stuff the last time I inverted the studio.

Am making many French Butter Dishes, god they're cute, posting them to Etsy http://www.barbdunshee.etsy.com and trying to get the rest of my works up there too, including my Lively Vessels (formerly just called Lidded Vessels). My sculptural work now has its own Etsy "gallery",
http://www.barbaradunshee.etsy.com
I decided "barbdunshee" versus "barbaradunshee" would have to do to distinguish between my whimsical versus my fine art stuff. Works in a pinch. Can't change them now. Well, could but I'd have to start over with building up the shoppes (some people don't like that word, shoppes.)

Have decided I can't part with one of the faces. She's called "Marshmallow Princess". Actually she's the huge image at the beginning of this posting. Didn't mean to put her up there that big, but then I liked seeing her there. When I started using this face as an "Avatar" or icon for my Etsy site I started using some magnified detail images of her eyes. That and her surface texture really sucked me in.
