Wedding Dresses




So these are the dress patterns that I like so far. In the first one(Simplicity), I like the upper left corner dress alot. In the second and third ones, I like the upper right dress. But in the case of the last one, no silly queen bonnet thing! What do you think?
I'm going for a more old fashioned Irish feel. The dresses would definetely not be white. I like the first and third ones alot but the neckline on the second one is beautiful. Help!

So I was surfing along the internet and found this artist,Mademoiselle helenina, who taught herself to do collage and painting. Her work is amazing. I was so inspired(and loved her written instructions to create backgrounds) that I made this lovely fairy. Whatcha think?

Back in the Game!

Yay. I am back online and back to making art. I am in the process of making some Halloween ATC's to send out for a few swaps on Swap-Bot. I also got the bug to make a doll today. Just a little one. But I've been looking for some lost barbies to remake and I haven't found any yet. So I made a doll. It's little though. Here's a pic of it in an altoid tin.
It's very small. It was white muslin. I stamped the face on. I painted the tights on with black sparkly paint from folk art, the green with Lumiere paint. I made the dress from the muslin also and painted it with purple lumiere. The hair is a fiber I doubled over and hand-sewed in place. The hat was chipboard and cardstock painted. And it was a pain! All in all, a fun project. But not as easy as I thought it would be!

I also made these cards:
