Two new Artist Trading Dolls

Hazel is featured in these two cards.
She likes to be the center of attention.:o)

The first one is a folding ATD made from Judi's pattern. http://www.artdolls.info/
The second one is made from Sherry's pattern. http://www.sherrygoshon.blogspot.com/

I am finished making these for a bit. Time to make something else.

I have a new bear in the works.
He is a big fellow. Or maybe he is a she. I 'm not sure yet. I will know when I finish stuffing and add the face. When I get to that stage he/she will let me know what it wants to be.
It will be about 9 inches or so.

I also have a new doll traced out and ready to be sewn together. She may be an Easter prim doll. I won't know until she is finished either.

I always picture something in my mind of what I want to make and then it comes out totally different. My bears and dolls take on a life of there own and tell me what they want to be when I am at the finishing stage. So we will see what I end up with!

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
