Paper dolls

For some reason I feel intimidated by paper. Not the paper itself, but say making cards, ATC, paper dolls, making something out of paper besides airplanes and simple boats for my boys.
Anyway, trying to "concur my fear of paper" I was working on some paper dolls this week. Mary Tressler , you can see a lot of dolls on my blog and picturetrail that I made out of her patterns, she had a few patterns recently that can me be made into paper doll. This was a push I needed...Some of them can be done as pin dolls, which I "fear" more than paper, so, I went with paper :)
Lady in blue and another one is from pattern called "Nola" ( you can see the paper doll and the cloth foll), fun and easy to make. I kind of like the paper dolls now :) at least not fearing them that much...
Wishing a great day!

Some pictures as promised

I am posting some pictures that I promised in the previous post.













I'm also including a few polymer clay pendants I did. I rolled a piece of clay, used some stamps, be more specific, some part of the unmounted stamps ( from T.Culea, he has wonderful line of stamps), then I painted them with black acrylic and bake them. After I applied some metallic acrylic paints, some nail polish for glitter. Need to add some beads and cord and off to go :)

Some more work for the last months

I also was working on some polymer clay creations...I sculpted a few little faces and then dida mold of a few using polymer clay adn then I created a few butterflies and dragonfliesas well as some pins using these molds. Then I painted them using acrylic paints and added some ribbons for wings. I am thinking to use them with some gourds or maybe just as a pins.

Sorry... I do not have pictures of those creatures...OK, I'll post some pictures of my tulips and will take pictures of pins in a few days and will post them as well.




Hugs, HElen

New gourd dolls

For the last few months I was working on some gourds dolls. It is besides going up and down in my moods, creating nothing for weeks and then working on a few dolls at once. Anyway, anyhow...I was working on a few gourds dolls...some of them I painted but some of them I combined apoxy to decorate the gourd and incorporated my painting into it as well. And most important, I had a good time working on those dolls and they were giving me ideas for some other projects that I am working on, at least I cur the gourds and cleaned them, so, it is a start, right? :)

Hugs to all,
Helen
