New Work - A Gift for Joel

I just wanted to share a few pictures of the art doll I created on Sunday as a gift for my son's 20th birthday.  This piece is great fun and I am very excited about how it turned out! The blue polka dotted fabric on the ear was from a tie Joel often wore in prep school. The sweet little zombie bunny and the dolls arms are all made from spun cotton.  I'm having a fun time putting my own twist on this great technique.  Creating this doll sent me running for my sketch book with more ideas. Feels great to be creating! More to come....

Hanging Art Doll

I have to agree, this does look great hanging on my wall! - I found the perfect wall space between my kitchen and living room. She looks small in the photo but is actually 16" tall.

Something I have failed to do in the past is to keep art that I have made for myself - so I am going to make a few pieces to keep and then get busy filling my etsy store!  I'm so in love with these dolls and the process of making them -  I hope when the time comes I will be able to part with them - or I could always become the Great Art Doll Hoarder!!!

Creative Stride!

I am excited to report that I have captured creativity and I have no plans on letting it go!
It's MINE all MINE!

I worked last night and this afternoon in my studio & I have some
goodies to share!!!!

I like how these three pieces work together & decided to create a new blog header from the group shot.

Next goal......create more and add work to my Etsy shop!

This guy is not finished yet - I wonder what I should do do with him?
