Girl in Denim

HI!!! I am pretty excited to share my project for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge today! Our challenge this week is FLOWERS! We want you to incorporate flowers into your project in some awesome way! The Design Team is showcasing Prima Flowers product this week. In choosing my product, I noticed that they have paper clay available. Well.... I haven't made an art doll in AGES, and this was the perfect excuse to give one a try again!



I used some old jeans for the fabric. Aside from that, and the plastic Target bags that I used to stuff her, you can find all of the supplies to create this fun little project at Simon Says Stamp. The paper clay was used to create the limbs and the head. I then stitched the torso from a pair of old jeans and painted it with a heavy body acrylic paint. The face is done with a simple Copic multiliner pen and her blush is also Copic marker. I had SO much fun creating her!



I used some May Arts gold string for both her awesome belt and her necklace. A tiny Doodlebug flower accents her necklace and brings in the flower theme with a pop of color! LOVE IT!



Now it's YOUR turn! Create something fabulous using FLOWERS as your inspiration and link it up over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Certificate to the Simon Says Stamp Store! WOOT! WOOT!

Don't worry, you don't have to make a doll. You can make a card. Or whatever it is you make. Just MAKE! 

Have a Happy!

Mother Earth

Today Stampendous! has joined up with Wee Scapes to show you how fun it can be to combine some really great products! I pulled out a few fun things to create my Mother Earth piece for you today.


The skirt is created from a moss paper that I stamped and embossed with Stampendous Foliate Cube stamp. I added punched grass paper circles around the skirt before adhering the stamped butterflies from the Charm Collection set.


May Arts burlap string and lace finish off her skirt quite nicely!


The base is covered with a lovely sheet of foliage from Wee-Scapes.


And a bit of grass finishes out the neckline. I hope you have enjoyed my Mother Earth piece today! Please visit the Stampendous! blog and the others participating in today's hop!

Kanti - She sings with the birds

I am excited to introduce to you my newest art doll.  This, my dear friends, is Kanti.

Kanti:  Algonquin name meaning sings.







Kanti is a clay and paper mache doll on a wire armature.  She is adorned in beautiful jewelry and glitter and her skirt is constructed of vintage sheet music and flowers.




I am so in love with this doll it is actually a little hard to talk about her.  I don't know how to describe her, as every time I look at her I just sigh because she is so lovely!




This is her back.  She has wonderful feathers and tiny little flower wings.  She wants to fly with the birds.  She is named for their song, afterall.




She sings their song.  The song of the birds.  She is always singing.




Her song is beautiful, as is her form.




Can you hear her?
