MIXED MEDIA ART DOLL PENDANTS

2009-04-28T13:14:00.005-06:00

These are a few of the mixed media art doll pendants I have created. Most of the pieces are created from metal, beads, charms and polymer clay. Of course they all have names. First is: Love My MaryJanes,
Second is: Cat Woman, Third is: Moon Maiden . Most of the metal has been either rusted or antiqued with some other chemical.

ANYTHING BUT PAPER SWAP

2009-04-23T07:51:00.007-06:00

This is a 5 for 5 swap and I chose felt to make my ATCs with. Normally I needle felt my wool to a piece of felt, but in this case I made a wet felted background piece that I cut into ATC sized pieces and then needle felted my flower onto that. I further embellished the ATCs with beads and perle cotton thread. The back is then lined with a piece of felt that has been buttonhole stitched to the front.

The small felted art doll pin is the hostess gift for this swap. I used a leftover background piece of the ATC felt for her body.

SIGNS of SPRINGS NOTEBOOK

2009-03-19T11:46:00.003-06:00

I guess I'm on a small book thing. Once again I've created a small 3x3 notebook as a hostess gift for the Signs of Spring Swap and once again I've used leftover handmade paper . The cover has been created from leftover fabric paper.

JOURNAL

2009-02-23T11:03:00.003-07:00

I made this tiny 3"x4" journal out of left over painted and stamped red rosin paper. I then embellished the front cover with my leftovers from various projects. The pages are card stock weight paper that resembles chipboard. This will be given as small hostess gift and was a great way to use up more of my stash. It went together fast, because most of the work was already finished.

GRANDMA'S SEWING BOX

2009-02-21T16:33:00.002-07:00

I created this rusted Altoids tin and then partially covered the top and base with rust colored painted paper towels. I then covered all of the rust with Golden matte gel medium to prevent the rust from flaking off. Once it dries, it still gives the look of rust without the mess.

SWAP ITEMS FROM SIMONE

2009-02-14T11:13:00.004-07:00

Simone from Germany and I had a trade that consisted of a fabric atc, a puzzle piece and a small doll. She also sent along a pink inchie that is just adorable and the first fabric inchie that I have received. I love the doll with the stamped face and she also included some of the fabric she used so I could give it a try. The back of the doll is also made from a rusted fabic that she created. I'm going to have to give that a try. The atc has a crazy quilt base tlhat has been beaded. The puzzle piece is set off with a vintage photo and some glittered and felt like embellishmets.

I've also included a photo of the extra goodies that she included and just saw that I forgot the two most importat elements that were beautiful flat rusted leaves, so I've added them in separate photo.

Thank you Simone for a fun swap.

Valentine Postcards

2009-01-31T06:23:00.004-07:00

Someone sent me the ribbon and vintage image in a surprise package. I love both of them. The background is a gesso and watercolor piece of card stock that I had leftover from last year's Valentine project. I decided to put them all together and came up with these cards for the lady who sent me the goodies and another friend.

THE ICE MAIDEN COMETH

2009-01-06T15:18:00.003-07:00

My latest beaded art doll is approximately 5" x 1 3/4".

Another one of my quirky tags.

FUNKY NEEDLE FELTED ART DOLL PINS!

2008-11-28T09:49:00.002-07:00

These are some of my art doll pins that I've sold on my Etsy shop. I love making them and they just seem to take on personalities of their own. I actually wanted to put them all in one post, but as usual I was struggling with Blogger. If anybody has that secret............................ The first doll with the lime green hair is actually a charm and not a pin.

MORE!

2008-11-28T09:44:00.000-07:00

AND STILL A FEW MORE!

2008-11-28T09:41:00.001-07:00

MORE DOLLS!

2008-10-21T15:42:00.000-06:00

Here are 12 more dolls for Pat Winter's Comfort Doll project.

Needle Felted Bag

2008-10-13T09:58:00.000-06:00

First I wet felted the base of the bag and then needle felted the flowers and leaves. Next I did some free motion embroidery to pop the needle felting. The borders were needle felted on, and then I used the same fiber that I crocheted the strap with and used a button hole stitch to enhance the borders and sew the bag together. I lined it with a hand dyed cotton fabric. It measures approximately 6"w x 9"deep.

Wonder Wallet

2008-09-18T13:08:00.001-06:00

These small wallets are slightly larger than a credit card but hold lots of necessities like folded bills, credit cards, drivers license and coins. The way the wallet is constructed actually keep the coins from falling out.

Sunshine - Wrapped Art Doll

Floral Icicle Art Doll

2008-08-23T12:11:00.001-06:00

Needle felted postcard with FME.

Needle Felting

2008-08-15T12:54:00.000-06:00

And yet another new art form for me. The flower is my first needle felt project. I don't know what I'll do with it, but I just wanted to see if I could master this craft, so I just drew out a simple pattern and started. The leaf is for a felt leaf swap which will end up being a book. Four more leaves to go, but it's a great project for when you are just sitting and watching TV. More new colors have arrived on my doorstep so hopefully they will liven up my color scheme.

Another Sun Print

2008-08-03T15:47:00.000-06:00

This time after the print was dry and heat set, I added silver paint spirals with a rubber sponge stamp and white paint dots using the end of a wooden skewer. These pieces are so much fun to create, but I really need to get busy and think of something to actually make out of the fabric.

Sun Painting On Fabric

2008-08-02T14:55:00.000-06:00

I have just learned how to make sun paintings from the blog owner of Ruminations and Reflections I think she used special paint, but I just used watered down acrylic paints. Mine didn't bleach our as white as hers did, but I still like the mottled effect it produced. This was so easy and so much fun to do. I'm showing 2 pictures but it is really one piece of fabric folded and scanned. Thanks so much to the owner of R&R for all of your help. Now to go create something with this fun piece of fabric.

Crazy Quilt Art Doll - Imagine

2008-08-01T11:35:00.002-06:00

Here are 4 more crazy quilt art dolls that will be starting on their journey over to Pat Winter's Comfort Doll project for women's shelters. Just hit the button on my blog and see what she is up to and join in the fun of creating and shedding a small ray of hope in someones life.

Dyed Laces

2008-07-31T08:48:00.000-06:00

This morning I dyed these laces with alcohol inks for use in my crazy quilting, sewing project and altered art.

Floral Fabric ATCs

2008-07-24T15:43:00.000-06:00

For a swap.

Frida Was No Wallflower - Fabric Art Quiltie

Approximately 7 1/2" x 10" to the tip of the vintage lace. The flower and leaves were FME and painted/stained with India inks. The tan background was stained with walnut ink.

Altered Row House Swap

2008-07-01T14:58:00.000-06:00

The backgrounds of these ATCs were created from the textured red rosin paper that I posted on September 4, 2007.

Blue Mood Fabric Postcard

2008-06-30T12:26:00.001-06:00

One of my groups is holding a swap. The requirements are to use 1.) Blue Fabric 2.) A Circle Element 3.) Yarn or Thread 4.) A Nature Element that is not real, and 5.) A Recycled Piece of Plastic. You could make anything you wanted to so I chose a postcard.

Fabric Book To Hold ATC Cards

2008-06-05T14:39:00.000-06:00

The Storyteller

2008-06-05T14:33:00.002-06:00

A lady that I traded an ATC with sent me the story of "Why Are Cats Attracted to People Who Dislike Them?". I downsized the story and turned it into and ATC.

ATC's For Individual Trades

2008-05-31T16:05:00.000-06:00

These ATC's were created from all kinds of leftovers that are clogging up my art room. First I created the grunge type backgrounds from all different sorts of printed matter plus text and dictionary pages. Then I dug into my stash of images and words and came up with these 2 cards. I figure at this rate I'll have my stash used up when I'm about 150 years old. Maybe not!

Postcard Exchange With Heidi In Germany

2008-05-24T07:03:00.000-06:00

Heidi's fabric postcard for me is made from beautiful fabrics. The lower half is a music paper print, printed in gold. The scan does show the true beauty of the fabric, because we all know how hard it is to scan metallic colors.

My card for Heidi just had to have a bit of crazy quilting.

Thanks for the trade Heidi!

Chocolate Postcard

2008-04-29T05:41:00.000-06:00

This card was for a swap.

More Tag Play!

2008-04-22T16:15:00.000-06:00

Fabric Cone

2008-04-17T04:55:00.000-06:00

One of my groups is holding a swap for these fabric cones that are to be made using Ruth Rae's instructions in one of the current magazines. I haven't joined the swap because I don't have the instructions, but I wanted to make one anyway, so this is my interpretation. I hand dyed the fabrics and laces to get that mauve-pinkish color and used cranberry thread to sew it all together.

Watercolor Pencils

2008-04-08T08:48:00.000-06:00

I woke up this morning in a creative mood. I actually bought these pencils a couple of years ago and never really did anything with them. Well after reading a tutorial on using watercolor crayons, I dug up my pencils, wondering if they would be suitable for this technique. This was the results of my before breakfast playtime.

Post-It Note Book Covers

2008-03-15T06:03:00.000-06:00

I got this fun little idea off of Sunflowers and Dragonflies blog. For my covers I just used some of my leftover printed material from other projects, which made it twice as easy to do, and it was a good way to use up some of my stash. These will make great little gifts for Happy Nothing Day! You know, the day when you want to give something, just to give something, and there's Nothing going on.

Stained Glass Charms

2008-03-12T15:14:00.001-06:00

Created for another swap.

Egg Swap

2008-03-12T15:06:00.002-06:00

I joined an egg swap on one of my groups, and because you only had to make three, I decided to make two different sets. They are the size of ATCs that have been cut to resemble eggs. It's not an Easter egg swap, just eggs.

Small Silk Ribbon Embroidered Cell Phone or Necessity Bags

2008-03-11T11:30:00.001-06:00

These 2 small 6"x7" bags were for a special order.

SOLD

Paper Bag Background Papers

2008-03-07T17:33:00.000-07:00

I created these papers from brown grocery bags, and Elle Barry's instructions. I think the possibilities could be endless. You would only be limited by your lack of acrylic paint colors. The scans just don't show the real shimmer of these papers.

Junk Art Postcards

2008-03-07T09:24:00.001-07:00

I joined a swap in which we were to make 5 postcards out of junk mail, old book pages, this and that, magazines etc. These are 3 of my offerings. I reworked 2 of them forgetting to scan the finished cards, but these will give you an idea of what I've been up too. Unfortunately it didn't put a dent in my junk pile. I'm thinking only the trash can will help that mess.

ATC's From Germany

2008-03-06T09:52:00.001-07:00

I met Simone on line who is from Germany and we decided to trade fabric ATCs. These 2 above are my swap gift from her and they are very pretty. The lady on the red card is a fabric print that she made off of a 1917 postcard. She said that the writing on the back of the card was from a man asking a lady for a date. That the card comes with a story makes it even more interesting. The edging on that card is so tiny and perfect. The tiny shells on the beautiful card with the bird are pieces that her grandmother sends to her.

The cards at the top are my ATCs for her, but I can never get Blogger to do what I want and it seems like my pictures end up where ever Blogger feels like putting them. It's a continual battle for me.

This is my first trade from Germany and I will give them a special place in my art room. We plan on making another trade later in the year.

World Traveler

2008-03-03T14:13:00.000-07:00

I created 22 of these green 3x3's for a swap I'm in on one of my groups. It's simply called the 3x3 Green Swap. The only requirement is that they are green. We are just sending to everyone in the swap individually and then we will add covers and bind them into a book.

Crazy Quilt Tote Bag

2008-02-06T12:15:00.000-07:00

I finished this about a month ago and am finally getting pictures up. I had to photograph it on a dark surface and so it's really hard to see the straps. The dark brown you see

is actually the borders of the tote bag.

Dotee Dolls

2008-01-31T06:09:00.000-07:00

Someone on one of my groups started talking about Dotee dolls and when I saw these silly little dolls I just had to start creating. On the day I finished making them I was beginning to wonder what I was going to do with them. Well on that same day another lady from a different group told everyone that there was this lady collecting small dolls 6" and under to send to women's shelters. She gave this link http://comfortdolls.blogspot.com where there is a wonderful story of what this lady is doing, and why she's doing it. There are lots of pictures of the dolls she is collecting and sending, and now my Dottee's have a reason for being created and will begin what I hope is a fasciniating journey for them.

Cell Phone Pouch

2008-01-31T06:01:00.000-07:00

A lady asked me to created a cell phone pouch to hang off the front strap of her purse and this is what I came up with. The print is a cotton inkjet print with some silk ribbon embroidery and beading. The closure is a metal vintage button.

Beaded Art Dolls

2008-01-23T10:23:00.000-07:00

I have been working on these beaded art dolls the last couple of weeks. Sometimes I wish that I could just concentrate on one thing, meaning one art form, but when I get bored with something it's so easy to start creating something else.

My True Love

2008-01-22T14:04:00.000-07:00

The background of this 3x6 tag has been colored using walnut and alcohol inks and stamped. Embellishments include vintage crochet lace, buttons, velvet leaves and a hand embossed copper heart piece.

Best Friends ATC

This is one of 10 ATCs that I created for a swap I'm in. The background was created using bubble wrap, gesso and watercolors. I've been so busy trying to get other things finished that I don't know if the other 9 will ever show up here.

Tag Art

2007-11-28T11:57:00.000-07:00

I love tags and have been working on a few new ones this week. I know it seems like an odd assortment, but this is what I think my brain actually looks like at times and so I just go with it. I actually get more accomplished if I don't try to rationalize to much of my art.

Gothic Arch Trio Book

2007-11-25T06:49:00.000-07:00

With all of the Gothic Arches on groups and the web, having never done one, I just decided to start playing to see what I could come up with.

Champagne Ice - Icicle Art Doll

2007-11-12T05:03:00.000-07:00

I found the pattern for this doll on Belinda Schneider's Blog and just had to give it a try and see what I could come up with. The body is a layer of lace over satin. The face is stamped and the hair is hand beaded branch fringe. I used cream colored pearls and seed beads along with clear gold glass seed beads. I tried to add various embellishments to the doll, but for some reason I just liked the simplicity of her as she is.

Art Journal

2007-09-26T16:21:00.000-06:00

I created this 20 page 5x7 Art Journal with water colored card stock pages. Some form of embellishment was added to 10 of the pages and the other 10 were left with just the watercolor background. Small envelopes were added between some of the pages to hide keep sakes like tickets, notes, etc. Tags were also added for altering. The fibers on the right hand side of the page are attached to the tags in the book. The cover is hand painted muslin that was ironed onto a bonding material and then ironed onto cardboard. Book was then bound with Owire.

Red Rosin Background Paper

2007-09-04T14:58:00.000-06:00

I used Red Rosin Paper for the base of this sheet of fused scraps. I glued the plain and textured scraps on with a mix of Elmer' glue and water and then I added a layer of white torn tissue paper and glued that down and brushed more glue on the top of it. When that was dry, I rubbed on light splotches of gold and bronze metallic paints all over. When that was dry I brushed it with and antiquing medium and quickly rubbed it off just to leave accents in the textured places. Next I stamped the paper with various stamps and added dots with the end of two different size dowels. I stenciled through sequin waste at the very end.

A couple of friends and I got together and each created 3 tags of one design and we made 5 sets of tags, then sent 5 tags to each player. There was no theme, no rules, any size tag could be used, and this is what we came up with. Thanks for playing ladies. This swap was a lot of fun.

Small Book

2007-07-31T09:55:00.000-06:00

vrubn

I just used scrapbook paper on this small journal / notebook. It holds 20 blank pages with about 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch writing / art space. I think the book bug has bit me. I can't wait to get started on another one.

I'VE BEEN TAGGED

2007-06-25T11:30:00.002-06:00

by Debby to reveal 7 things about myself.

1.) Unless I know you, I don't tell people anything about myself, so I hope you all feel privileged and thank you Debby. LOL

2.) I hardly ever keep any of the art work that I create. I'd rather be surrounded by art work from others.

3.) I like to cook, but I love to bake.

4.) I'm usually willing to try something new, unless it involves sky diving. I have this aversion to heights. :o(

5.) I love most veggies, but would rather eat chocolate if given a choice. I heard somewhere that it was good for you. :o)

6.) I have at least 10 blank journals in my house and one day I hope to finish at least one. I have a passion for buying these things.

7.) I would love to live where the temperature is a constant 72 degrees.

And now I TAG the 7 following people to divulge 7 random facts about themselves on your blog and tag 7 other people. Have Fun!

Blue Fabric Paper

2007-06-21T09:07:00.000-06:00

This paper was used to create the postcards below.

Postcards for Blue, Blue, Blue Swap

2007-06-21T09:06:00.001-06:00

Embellished Inchie Swap

2007-06-14T11:29:00.000-06:00

ATC's for a group swap with the requirement that each card had to have at least one inchie on it.

Altered Matchbox

2007-06-12T06:02:00.000-06:00

This small matchbox has a layer of Gesso under a paper towel that has been painted with liquid watercolors and applied with glue. I stamped the paper towel and added a vintage picture that has also been stamped. Sides of the matchbox are stamped with spirals, and dabs of gold paint pen have been added on all sides.

Embossed Paper Beads

2007-06-12T05:04:00.000-06:00

These beads were made using scrapbook paper, magazine paper, and some of the paste papers that I previously made. I embossed them with gold and copper embossing powder , UTEE and some have a sprinkle of glitter added. They are sort of like potato chips and Inchies. You can't eat or make just one. These should make fun embellishments for journals, 4x4's, tags, altered books, etc.

Crazy Quilt For A Friend

2007-06-01T11:05:00.000-06:00

My friend is learning to Crazy Quilt and asked me if I would swap with her. We decided to make 5x5 wall hangings and so this was my quilt for her, and that is a picture of her little dog. I love to use personal items when making art for friends if I have them.

Paste Papers

2007-05-26T04:43:00.000-06:00

I made these paste papers last weekend before I went out to do yard work and talk about instant gratification. Each paper only took a couple of minutes to produce. I used the simple recipe on Lisa Vollrath's site, Go Make Something. Because I was in a hurry, I only used one color per page, but next time I''ll try 2 or 3 colors. I used 60 lb. paper from a cheap sketch pad and it seemed to work great. Next time I'll try a different weight paper to see what kind of results I get. When the papers were dry, I just ironed them between pieces of parchment paper. I will probably tear them to use for backgrounds and collages and maybe include pieces in fusion type papers. The tool at the top of the page was used to create these papers. Now I will have to be on the lookout for more tools.

Fabric Meander Book

2007-05-17T15:38:00.000-06:00

I saw the design for this book on one of my fabric groups. The pages are decorated with various laces, ribbons, prints, beads, buttons, silk, velvet, printed, and crochet flowers, and of course lots of fibers. Metal embellishments were used on some of the pages. Instead of sewing the pages together I used eyelets and jump rings to fasten the pages. Each page measures 5"x5" and when the book is closed it stands 2 1/2" high. I sandwiched heavy felt between the front and back to give each page a soft puffy feel. SOLD

Gesso Art Squared 4x4

2007-05-04T07:34:00.000-06:00

I have been busy with real life and haven't had much time to post lately, but I did manage to squeeze in another gesso piece, which is quickly becoming my favorite method of transferring.

Vintage Meg Gift

2007-05-04T07:11:00.000-06:00

WOW! Another gift from my friend Esmeralda. I need to get more friends. Vintage Meg is a OOAK tiny hand felted bear that came with her own birth certificate and a tiny crochet hat. She has a tiny bee charm attached to her because we all know that bears love honey. She is a mere 2" tall when she's standing and 1 1/2" when she's sitting. I added the picture of her with her birth certificate, which is a standard size business card to give you an idea of just how tiny she is. She is so sweet and once again she will have the other place of honor in my art room.

I here that Esmeralda may start selling these tiny works of art, so if anyone is interested................
