NEFERTITI EGYPTIAN GODDESS PLANTER

NEFERTITI EGYPTIAN

GODDESS PLANTER

Nefertiti Egyptian Planter

I’ve been sculpting away every day trying to get ready for next spring’s Goddess planter presentation. Last year, as I noted in a previous posting, I sold out of the planters after a few showings and wished I had started a few months earlier. I usually start in January.

Close-up

The planters have taken on lots of new twists this time around. I’m even doing theme type Goddesses. My Egyptian planter is a first. Although most of my planters can be left outdoors all summer, Nefertiti must be kept inside or in a screened porch area because of the cloth draping around her body.

Side view

It would probably be a good idea to invest in a snake like plant to go along with the Egyptian theme for when I show her in the spring.

I’ll be teaching how to make planters and Goddess standing sculptures at my class next July. There are 3 spaces left with only a deposit required at this time to hold your place. Please check out the Faces class for all information on my residential sculpture classes.

    Your planters are always so beautiful and majestic. They really have a sort of SOULFULNESS to them- thanks for sharing!

    I am always in awe of your planters, but you have added yet another facet with your cloth wrap. True mixed media. And of course, the snake plant (or Sansevieria) is a logical plant choice, although it doesn't look too much like a real snake to me.

    Hi Cheryl! This is the first time I saw one of your planters with real cloth. The cloth really matched the piece. I also love the black circular necklace she has in her chest. So amazing!
