SHERI'S CLAY GALLERY

JASH DESIGNS: A collaboration between Jan Greenwald and Sheri Schwarzweller

Jan is a genius at picking up an ordinary looking piece of old wood and somehow shaping it into a masterpiece of swirls and hollows – perfect homes for Sheri to ad her whimsical touch.

ON A GOOD DAY - Elvin series
 

Someone to lean on

Someone To Lean On

I couldn't believe my luck; finding these two winged gourds out at Welburn Gourd Farm. They had grown together on the vine, like twin souls vowing never to part. They became this sweet young elvin couple watching the stars. Their blanket is made of polymer clay.

I feel pretty

I Feel Pretty

Here is Dawn. . . She's on top of the world. Some days are just like that. Her dress is made from an especially dramatic winged gourd. The rest of her is is polymer clay and some feathers for hair

Daydreaming

Daydreaming

Here Rog sits on a log enjoying the view with his familiar, Flix (the frog.) Rog & Flix are made from polymer clay except for the piece of root on which Rog sits.

Chocolate Gremlin

Chocolate Gremlin

We all have one of these in our house or at work. They swear they'll be good and only eat one. But don't leave your stash unguarded! Chocolate Gremlin is made from polymer clay. Her body is frog like, climbing the side of the painted gourd bowl

AFTER THE CARNIVAL Series

After the festivities. . . After Fat Tuesday . . . After the costumes are shed and it is thought to be over, the seed begins to grow. Embedded in the soul by the sheer energy of the event – something new is born. Colors are brighter, thoughts are expansive and creativity abounds . . . Anything is possible!

This series can be viewed at Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook, CA

Dancing Women Series

This series was inspired by all women of the world who are forced to endure unspeakable abuses and indignities, and yet their indomitable spirits rise up in a dance of hope and defiance. . . . and their banners read: “The Power of Love can conquer the Love of Power.”

A portion of all proceeds from the sale of the dancing women series goes to Women for Women International www.womenforwomen.org
Ebrezia won first place in the "Mixing Media" Challenge of PolymerCAFE Magazine, April 2009 issue.

SOUL OF THE GOURD

This series, Soul of the Gourd, is a study of the images which have imprinted on the surface of gourd. Many moons pass as the gourd evolves into full maturity, basking in the sun, absorbing earth and water, attracting organisms, becoming ripe and rich with archetypal stories.

 

Tell Me A Story

Tell Me A Story

Tell me about your moon and the bear that lives inside your heart. Tell me about that dark hollow place in you where the bats go to nest. I want to remember the colors of the path that caused you to become the unique creature you are today.

 

Vision Quest

She has completed a phase of her life. Illuminated by the light of a full ancestral moon, she tunes into the earth and consults her animal guides.
She is vigilant – awaiting the new path to be revealed.

 

 

Aphrodite’s Wish

Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture . . .
She invites You to make a wish
