Artist Trading Dolls
This is my third and fourth attempt at making these.
The pink one is made from cardstock, tissue paper, lace ribbon, beads and a bit of fabric.
I sewed the beads and fabric on. Her face is made out of air dry clay.
She has been enhanced with markers.
Bubba the cowboy is a photo of my dog.
I wanted to do something in a different color scheme (I tend to stay with pinks, blacks and fall colors - can't you tell LOL) so saw the boots in orange and yellow and started from there.
The shirt, hat and pants were printed on my computer from my print shop software.
I couldn't find a face that I liked so used Henry's.
I colored the objects with colored pencils and markers.
My family thinks I'm crazy but I am having so much fun with these.
I went shopping at Michael's for supplies on Saturday and ended up with nothing. There were so many papers and neat stuff to choose from that I couldn't decide LOL

Oh, these are soooo cool! I LOVE Cowboy Bubba with your dog's cute face! You are TOO creative! AND, like you, I tend to gravitate toward pinks - and in my case - reds. So the girl is WONDERFUL! You just remind your family that when Mama is happy, EVERYBODY'S HAPPY! And keep right on making ATDs! LOL!

I love the purple one but Bubba just made me giggle, just too cute and a great idea to use your dog. I may have to run with your idea, I always said if my dog was human she would be the court fool, so she may become a jester!!
