Primitive Art Doll

Before: coffee staining

Still not coffee stained ..stage..pale..lol

Sometimes your best friends know you better than you know yourself.

 I completed my first art doll and my dear friend said she really like my first creation. 

But where are the big eyes, lol ....this started me thinking.

Great friends support you and share truly helpful artful advise. 

Thank you QFD.

Now my first art doll is completed and feels like me. lol

I am hooked..I love the primitive coffee stained fabric..

Happy creating.   

 

Ms.Aquarella

My first fabric art doll

                                                                   

     A new artful goal for me this year was to learn to  sew...I purchased a second hand sewing machine.  I have been so inspired by a local Canadian artist, who creates primitive unique art dolls. I really admire Melissa's creative style and love the way she stains her fabric.. 
With the help of a my sweet friend Janet who knows her way around a sewing machine , here is my first art doll kitty Ms. Aquarella. I need to purchase something to stuff her with,that is why she looks a little flat.lol 

It is fun to challenge yourself and explore new artful directions. 

Check out Hermit Halo, awesome art dolls. 
Happy creating.

                                                              

                                                                   

                                                                  
                                                                                                                                               

                                                                            

Believe In Yourself

Powerful ...

When creating this colorful page my mind was thinking sometimes we don't see what we need to be successful in our personal lives.

It is so easy to forget " believe in yourself".

Be powerful and just do it ...

Happy Creating.

Muffled Whir Of Wings

Ordinary folk sensed nothing of all this, nor ever would...

When I look at this journal page, I had to giggle to myself. Now that it is finished, it screamed go big !!

"Big Black Lashes, Big Purple Eyes +Big Red Lips"

LOL

Creating this Fearless Muse journal page reminds me to keep my creative mind growing strong and reach new goals in my artful life.

...Follow your dreams...

That 's all she wrote, till next time.

Happy creating.

Artful Soul

Create A Story..

Everyone has a story to share in their life and journal pages are a great way of sharing a little piece of yourself.

I tried something new that has been a little struggle for me. Artist Teesha Moore suggests cutting magazine images and adding them to your art work. I finally cut a magazine, I felt like it was a rule that I was breaking somehow. lol I really enjoyed creating my own fashion from the outfits offered in the magazine's.What a blast to mix and match the clothing, to make it your own. I added the color using my watercolor pencils to the jacket. She had to have a stripped neck because it is just fun.

This journal page shares the thought, it is all up to you !!! It is the path you follow for yourself.

Everything can be better. You can leave well enough alone or make it better.

I am myself ...an artful soul.

Happy creating.

Every Possibility

Begins With...The Courage

It is always a magical mystery creating with Adirondack color wash and what will appears in your backgrounds. This purple tree looks like it is located on Mulberry St. in Seussville.

I should of added "The Cat In The Hat" to this beeswax canvas.

lol

Happy Creating.

Just A Pretty Face

I think this face from The Beekeeper's Tea is so fabulous.

Happy Creating.
