Lydia

"Lydia"

 

Lydia is a type of textile art piece. Her dress is muslin fabric that has been painted and attached to hand woven wire. The textured white background, cursive paper and ledger paper are not part of the art piece, even though it appears to be.

I really like the skirt and would like to create a 3-D doll.

These little ladies made an appearance at the Baker Hunt Holiday Art Show/Sale this past Sunday.

The show was small in size, but big on attendance! Other fellow artists there had really wonderful work! Besides the bad weather, it was a fairly successful show! 

Art Doll Minuet

The silk sari fibers used is called the Love Letters Skein because the color resembles that of old vintage letters. I fell in love with the color. She measures about 18" tall.

Game Boy II

 

"Game Boy II"

 

This doll didn't come out quite like I was aiming for. I had an inspiration picture of an old doll that a friend gave to me yrs. ago called the Carnival doll with the wetting mechanism.  I left the wooden box sitting around until I couldn't stand looking at it any more, so I pushed myself to do something with it. I'll have to make a few more boxes to try it again. If at first you don't succeed, try again! 

 

 

 

Game pieces: bingo #'s, dice and a jack.



Coco

 

"Coco"

 

 

Let me tell you! That skirt she is sporting had been around the studio for about a year and half. I had totally different plans for it, but it just didn't seem to pan out, so it sat and sat. Well, I finished her a few months back and she has now been hanging in the studio complete and ready for a photo shoot.

I really have to be in the mood to photograph and that happens not very often.
