Welcome to my web site! Lots of big changes this year! I've been really getting into doing watercolors and will be offering original works as well as matted and/or framed prints (I'm suuuuuper excited about this!!) My work is generally a bit quirky, fun and colorful and definitely reflects my obsession with weird little houses. But I paint pretty much anything from coastal scenes to still life. But I'm getting a great response so far and that always makes any artist happy :) These will be listed as I paint them. All prints are sold matted in a clear cello sleeve and ready to display as they are. Frames will also be available in the options for each listing. I'll also be doing all sorts of new things like Greeting Cards (singles and boxed sets), Gift Tags and whatever other fun stuff I can think of!
So please do check them out and pop back in occasionally to see new work as it's listed!
I'm still trying to phase out my Etsy shops and this will ultimately become the only place I sell on line. It's not an easy transition but it'll eventually happen. And 1000 "Thank Yous" for being here!
I wish you all a happy and prosperous 2025! ♥♥ Tracey
Floating Amoebas...Calder, Eames inspired Atomic Retro Chime. Hand sculpted by Beatlebaby OOAK
Only 1 left in stock
There's just something about the Atomic era that makes me feel like I was born at the wrong time. I love the values, the idealism, the American dream...but mostly...I love the STUFF!!!! What I wouldn't do to travel back in time and just go shopping for table cloths, lighting and fabric!
And I'm not kidding...I just saw a Calder mobile on Antiques Roadshow that was valued at ONE MILLION DOLLARS. I couldn't believe it.
Anyway, I thought it was fitting that this is being listed today. I saw it as a good sign. It's no Calder piece...but it's a Beatlebaby piece! And it will cost you close to a million $ less than Calder's.
Each shape is based on the Atomic age's free form shapes, the kidney shape, the boomerang, the amoeba....I'll have a few of these hanging in my own home by summer. I love 'em.
I used a plastic coated steel cable cord for the hanging cord. I find that fishing line gets brittle over the years and breaks and this is so much stronger, ensuring a very long life for this sculpture. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. All pieces are hand sculpted. No molds or cookie cutters of any kind are used. High gloss glaze in vibrant colors make it stand out and be noticed! It would be the perfect gift for someone special who just seems to have everything. It takes up very little space, is unique and would be lovely inside or out. You will receive the sculpture pictured :)
Size: 18" long x 7" wide
Colors: Red, Lime, Robin's Egg Blue
