Celtic Angel

Quick note for a rainy Saturday, I finished this painting yesterday afternoon and put it on Ebay. I am seriously thinking of doing a few floral paintings in oil which should be a fun challenge for me. I need an artistic challenge! Something radically different from anything I have done before. I have been thinking about doing a few art dolls. I recently bought the first issue of "Prims", a lovely magazine filled to the brim with amazing primitive doll artists. Since I have an extensive stash of fabrics, many vintage, and notions galore I would love to try my hand at fashioning a "doll" or two. I am fascinated with the thought of creating a little person who will mirror a small piece of my many lives.
Real or imagined, how thrilling it will be to try!

  3. It looks like art dolls would be right up your alley! The lovely faces on your portraits are just beautiful and would look just as lovely on an art doll. If you are interested you may want to check out a group called Cloth and Clay Dolls. It is a great group of artists including Jane DesRosier who runs the group. Jane has some wonderful tutorials to become inspired by and learn from. Here is the link - http://clothclaydolls.ning.com/
