So glad you stopped by, feel free to browse my various ideas and comment! My main goal here is to get outside opinions on my work and suggestions on how to improve. It will be awesome to get the opinions of fellow artists. Right now I'm exploring the joys and frustrations of sculpting. I've always found art to be a continuous learning experience andI enjoy brainstorming on new ideas and new art mediums. I live in Berea, Kentucky, a small but beautiful dot on the map. I live in my own personal madhouse with my husband, three kids, four cats and three bearded dragons.
I have a website with pieces for sale, galleries and other fun stuff. Feel free to come and check it out sometime!
Interests I love learning and trying out new stuff. I plan to try out every form of art I can get my hands on! Right now I'm having fun sculpting. I also love to airbrush, hopefully soon I'll be trying out digital art.
I did found out however that I'm terrible at sewing, and at singing, I dont have a musical bone in my body....although I am a great music enjoyer. One of my outside hobbies is swordfighting, I took it as a joke in college and fell in love. Chris and I duel in the yard, and the passing cars slow down, they think we're nuts....and I wont even go on about our neighbors. lol.Favorite Fantasy/Scifi Books I like Tad Williams work as well as Eric Paolini, along with the mystery-murder stories of JD Robb and Dick Francis. I have sooooo many books yet my mind goes blank here...aaaaaargh!Favorite Music Billy Joel, Queen, Kansas, Elvis, Journey, Huey Lewis and the News, Journey, the5Browns, Pavorotti, Phil Collins, Beach boys, Garth Brooks, The Police, Cher, Kelly Clarkson, Ace of Base, Fine Young Cannibals, Micheal Jackson, Shania Twain, Phantom of the Opera, John Cougar Mellencamp, Kenny Loggins, Disney soundtracks...music is good!

You’re really good at sculpting. I will be very surprised if one of your pieces doesn’t get a Mod’s Choice. BTW, welcome to Elfwood. TDawn Maddox replies: "Oh wow...that would be soo cool. I’m still really new here, just got these published yesterday, but I’m thrilled you like them!!!!"
So many cute and beautiful little sculptures! Hope to see more in the future! They’re really nice... and cute! ^^ TDawn Maddox replies: "thank you so much! "
Your works are very pleasing to the eye. Have you considered casting these and producing them professionally? I’m absolutely sure they would sell. TDawn Maddox replies: "I do cast and reproduce them, but I do it all myself, so I end up producing them very slowly, and sometimes feel like a one-woman-band. It took me quite a while to learn the moldmaking basics, and I’m still learning, but so far, these guys do sell nicely when I get batches done. Thank you soooo much for your kind words, I’m glad you like my work!
"
Well that’s a plus, you’d have to be crazy not to sell these. Or maybe just selfish? I’m not sure how that works out. 0_0 Do you sell them online at all?
You’ve done some seriously awesome stuff here, and I will keep coming back to see if there’s anything new! I wish there was a subscribe option here on elfwood. TDawn Maddox replies: "lol...I do sell them online, but mostly I have a waiting list. I have a couple awesome things about to be put up here...I’m waiting on the cue line (rolls eyes). I have a couple completed hippocampus’s!!! I have pics up already on deviantart if you want to come see, and more pics of my stuffs. Here’s a link, I hope it works, if it doesnt, check my profile page, I think I put a link there too. http://purplecatcreatives.deviantart.com/ the Silver Seafoam hippocampus is actually available, along with the light spotted cloudfish and midnight cloudfish, plus I have one pink moonshell dragon left, lemme know if you’re interested!
I’m also on livejournal, if you want to see daily rantings, but that’s not nearly as much fun as sculptures! Lol.
Ah crud...I checked, the link above doesnt work, but the one on my profile page does, come see!!"
Oh wow, how do you do it? These are amazing! I bet you’re a pro..........! ^-^ Great detail and realism! TDawn Maddox replies: "Actually...I’m just someone who loves art and produces it out of their basement! lol...I sell it when I can, but art can be a hard thing to sell sometimes
"
very nice gallery!!! Its so crazy when I see the white versions i think that they would be best left white only with just a bit of glaze and then i see some of the coloured finished ones and they are super adorable too!!!! maybe the hippocampus could be white with with silver and black highlights just cause the detail seem to be coming out so well . but then again maybe its just cause ive only seen the white version here TDawn Maddox replies: "There’s a couple of them I really like in the pure white too, so I know what you mean! I have a website I put together with galleries and a ton more pictures if you’d like to visit, there’s a link on my profile page. "
Im not normaly very fond if this kind of sculptures, but thise was realy catchy - I liked them TDawn Maddox replies: "thank you very much! I appreciate it! "
Do u do clay Dragons? if so i heard of those they bring luck an incouragement.. i heard that some people make them for others they kno each for one person in there own self. I read a book about them an the dragon always gave him tips in a weird way it was pretty awsome!! ur so talented i love to sculpt
