Dolls Page Tab

 

 

I have been updating my Dolls Page Tab, just to have a place to showcase some of the dolls I have made over the years. The dolls featured are all Sold.  I will be adding to it little by little every day. So go have a look if you want some primitive doll eye candy!

 

Blessings,

Getting in the dollmaking mood again!

Well never say never. that got to be my motto!

After not making a doll in over 6 months, my muse seems to be back and I am in the mood once again.

After taking the entire Summer and most of the Fall to adjust to being a new Gramma (still so weird to say!),

 focus on painting,

and running around to my various prayer groups,

 I am ready to jump back in with both feet!

Faustina SOLD!

 

Ch-ch-ch-changes!!

Aren't they great!

 

So I created and new Angel for PFATT Marketplace,

 and named her after one of my all time favorite saints:

Faustina

 

 

I enjoyed making her and trying my new favorite art supply:

Neocolor II's

 to do her face.

They are a water soluable artists crayon,

 and I love them.

 

I use them all the time for my mixed media painted portraits.

Anyhow, with my new venue at PFATT, I am deadline driven again!

 And I am beginning some new dolls for December!

Yay!

The struggle against busy-ness

We are all so busy, I know. I am not unique here. But I have struggled this month with having ANY time to get into the studio at all. And I miss it! 

But I have lately tried to be more committed to spending time with my mother (who is 87), and trying to be available to my daughter, who's baby is just 3 months old. 

And my last kid at home, who is a freshman in high school. I have spent more time with her than I did with my other 3 when they were in high school. I think because she is my last and I really want to savor this time. I know how fast high school goes, and how much they grow up and away from you with every year. Of course its exciting to see her grow and head toward adulthood, but I also know what comes at the end. 

She will fly from the nest.

And as much as I encourage that, it breaks my heart as well. An empty nest is a lonely existence...

Madonna Series

I am working on a series of the titles of Mary. Believe me there are many! I started with Theotokos, which is a fancy word for "Mother of God".

Theotokos 6" X 12" gallery wrapped canvas.
Sold!

Next I did Our Lady of Fatima.

 I included the 3 children who were the visionaries who saw her in 1917; Lucy, Jacinta,  and Francisco. Even if you are not a believer, it is a fascinating story which is still unfolding today.

 Look it up! :^)

Our Lady of Fatima  6" X 12" painted wood.

I painted this one on wood. It was the first time I have tried painting on wood and I just love it! The grain just gives an extra depth to the painting. I am definitely going to do more on wood.

This one also has a text collaged to the sides. I will add a pic of that later. I will be putting this one up for sale in my Etsy Shoppe shortly.

Thanks for looking! What do you think?
