Do you like my papier mache skull !!

I bought some caran d'ache watercolour crayons.I see everyone saying they're brilliant -we'll see !!unless I use them for shading  I can't think what else I'd use them for .

I painted this in the usual way -acrylic pastel,pen and ink.I don't like the pink in the background but too late now I've sealed it

I promised myself I would keep this blog updated and I see its 2 months since I posted anything.I never seem to do much in the summer so hopefully I will do a bit more now!! I painted this girl in acrylics and pastels and sealed with matt varnish

I sculpted a head and hands and attached then to a picture frame.The egg is made from air dry clay and painted with acrylics.I coloured her face and hands with pastels and sealed with matt varnish SOLD

Sketch done in pen and ink

I finally finished this today and I started it over 2 weeks ago.I'm always amazed at people that list 4 and 5 painting a week in their etsy shops-don't know how they do it.This is acrylic on heavy duty paper

This is the little rabbit Beverly sent me as a present -thanks Bev-I love the stamping on it and the way she made the tag -it's edged in black and looks really vintage.You can visit her blog at http://www.rhissaanna.blogspot. The other pictures are of my new doll -clay -the usual !!!

Pink and Cream Doll

This is my newest doll made the same as the last one .I saw a vintage ballerina dress on pinterest and I got the idea for her dress from it.It is cotton with little roses attached -the back has pink feathers and flowers at waist.

Wish I had painted this

Next Doll and Basket I bought at a market

I spent last night putting 5 undercoats of gesso on this girl + 2 coats of acrylic  and 2 of varnish approx 3 hours work !!!!!This time I'm going to try and dress her  in something more colourful.I bought the basket at a market last w/e -made by a girl from Belgium ,she recycles paper and cardboard to make her crafts.This is made from newspaper.

Fairy Queen

I sculpted her from stone clay (as usual!!),painted her with golden acrylics and sealed with matt varnish.Her dress is made from silk and hand beaded(a right pain!),and she also has a little organza shrug jacket with tiny roses.I used silver plated wire and the organza for her wings and satin stitched the edges on my bernina machine.I put lace at her waist and her nails are painted silver.I would like your opinions please.Thanks.P.S. I took my friend RHISSANNAS advice and dressed her in white as she thought it would suit her best and shes right!you can visit her at www.rhissanna.blogspot.com PS.this doll is SOLD

BJD Doll

This is my second attempt at making a bjd doll .I like them "skinny" because the clothes look better on them.I'm fed up dressing them in black so I still don't know what colours will suit her.I sculpted her with stone clay and  put 5 undercoats of gesso then painted with acrylics and sealed with spray matt varnish
