My New Story Book Character.....Mixed Media Articulated Paper Art Doll

I am putting together my Story Book Characters for my first of several books on Articulated Story Book Paper Art Dolls. This is Little Girl with a Curl

There was a little girl

Who had a pretty curl

Right in the Middle of her forehead

When she was good

She was very very good

But when she was bad

She was horrid. 

Notice the ribbon that hooks to her bad face. She  will be in my first Book.

I hope you will stayed tuned!!

My daughter in law made the most creative picture. I had to share. So sweet.

Hanging up ATCs........in an old window.......

I found an old window. Appx 3 feet X 2 feet. I love the old greenish color on it that is peeling off. I wired sections on the back and added tiny clothes pins to hand my ATCs on. Then added another wire to hang it on the wall. It was nice to see the color of the wall thru the old window.

Mermaid Doll-

I started working on my mermaid doll about three years ago and today I finished her. She is cloth with paper clay sculpted over the top. I wanted her skin tone to be sea colors. She has costume jewelry for her crown. I used an old doily with fish for her bra. Her necklace is made from small rocks with a metal fish. I do not have a name for her right now but I think I will sell her on ebay.

Primitive Rag Doll "Amelia Sadheart"

I had made the doll some long time ago but thought it would be fun to dress her. I used and old quilt and sewed it by hand to add to the primitive nature of the doll. Stitched some felt eyes on and added a big blue tear. I think she is really sad looking and begging to be loved. Her hair is embroidery floss and her nose it just plain stitched in. She makes me laugh if she was not so sad looking. hahaha 

My Hill Billy Sun from slide tray

Okay this really makes me laugh. I wanted something different with this face. It looked more primitive. I used two wooden scrolly pieces that I painted bright orange for the hair. I does not quite look finished to me yet. It needs something else but I am not sure what. I call it my Hill Billy Sun for now. This is the fourth sun I have made.
