I 'Heart' Bookmaking

I have also been bookmaking in Nellie Wortman's online workshops and these are a few of the fabric/paper handmade books I have created.

Thanks for looking <3 Happy New Year & Wishing you all the best in 2017!

New Bride ArtDoll...

 New Bride Artdoll is my favorite so far of all the dolls I've made recently <3 I have been playing around with making different face molds from vintage dolls and this one is so lovely.

She is made from new and vintage fabrics, clothing pieces, tulle, recycled sari silk (love!), silk ribbons, paper flower embellishments, rhinestones and her paperclay face is painted and glazed.

The bodies for all the dolls is fabric stuffed with polyfill.

So sweet~

She is now listed in my Etsy shop <3

Have a great day everyone and Happy Holidays!

*As always thank you to MossHillStudio's workshops for the wonderful techniques I learned.

New Dolls, New Year!

Hello, it's been a while since I have posted on here or had the chance to do much art. So happy to be back! It's been a very intense couple of years and I am so very much looking forward to 2017 and a new beginning <3

For the past several years I would have a panic attack every time I  tried to do physical art so instead turned to digital drawing. It's alot of fun doing digital art but I really missed making 'things'. Finally got the courage to start again by doing one of JoAnna Pierotti's workshops that I never completed...and I fell in love with dollmaking again.

At the same time I've also been taking several of Nellie Wortman's online bookmaking workshops and I fell in love with fabric all over again....

And of course I couldn't resist taking a doll workshop by Mindy Lacefield too!

I have listed a few things in my etsy shop recently...baby steps, getting back into the art thing is a little scary after a long break but I'm so happy to be making stuff again so it's all good.

I've missed you all!

P.S. Bear says Hi! <3

Still Here Still Drawing

I'm still here and still obsessed with doing digital drawing on the WiiU Gamepad using the Art Academy Sketchpad program. There will be a new program coming out in the Fall with more tools so...yay ;). Hope everyone is well and looking forward to Fall xo

Under the Moonlight

Heyo everyone! Hope your Summer is going well. I have been doing some digital art on  the WiiU Gamepad and some other projects. I am having some issues with spammers, etc on my blog so if u notice comments deleted that's why. TTYL :)

Taking some time away....

I wanted to let anyone know that still visits my blog that I am taking some time off this Summer to take Julia Cameron's online course The Artist's Way Workshop...and at the same time taking a break from posting any art. Hope everyone has a great Summer and hopefully I will be back soon! xo

Letting Go

This has been a crazy couple of weeks art-wise. I was taking a mixed media painting workshop and as hard as I tried, I could not make the painting as a whole work. I loved the face so took this pic but the actual painting is now in the trash...it was sooo hard to do but sometimes it's best to just Let Go and begin again. This painting is on wood and plaster of paris, with acrylic paints and pencil.

Linking to PaintPartyFriday this week...check it out! Have a great weekend everyone xo

Earth Angel...

Earth Angel, 8x10 folk art painting on canvas board using acrylics, pens, pencil and mica glitter.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Polka Dot Sally...and Paint Party Friday

I'm back after a short break and I have been taking a few workshops. I made this 8x10 'Polka Dot Sally' folk art painting on canvas in Karen Milstein's workshop on Ruzuku. Fun workshop and I learned some new painting techniques. I will take a better pic soon once we get the sun back. Hope everyone survived all this wild weather.

A final post for 29Faces2014! I made a collage with most of the faces I sketched for the challenge. (scroll down my blog to see any I may have missed) I had a great time doing this and look forward to the next challenge later this year. Thanks so much to Ayala for hosting! xo

29 Faces Art Challenge...Updated Day 28!

Day 27 of 29FacesArtChallenge2014! Only one more day to go! I have really enjoyed this challenge and proud that I sketched almost every day. What I learned is that practice practice practice is all you need to improve your art no matter what you are doing. I didn't love all my sketches for the challenge but I loved sitting down to sketch each and every one. A huge thank you to Ayala for hosting!!

Day 28....WIP, will be finishing up her detail and color later when I have more time!
