Geranium

A touch of colour

Meadow cranesbill, dove"s-foot, the true English geranium, is that it seems positively to sing.

I was looking at a photo of my children we had taken many years ago when they were so little. The photo was taken in black and white by the creative " Silver Parrot" photographer in Port Dover. What made it extra special your wondering ? Well the answer is...the photographer added soft shades of colour.  For example on my son's tiny tie and my daughter"s flower on her darling velvet hat. This was the inspiration for this current art paper doll. I am not sure if I will create more of this colouring style? I love happy bold colours and found it hard not to add more colour contrast. I love trying new ideas and a new art challenge.

My Furry Kindred Spirit Friends

The Vintage Fox And The Lavender Hare

The magic of creating art paper dolls is..... no rules.

Where else can you see a Fox and Hare wearing red ballet slippers.

Hmmm...

I think my passion for furry art paper dolls started with talented artist Beatrice Potter and her delightful watercolour magic in her famous children's books. In the movie Miss Porter she refers to her creations as her friends. That is why I called these paper dolls my friends.

Vintage cat art paper dolls are still my very favorite to create but these were a fun art challenge.

I got the great idea to take a picture outside today with my phone. Well the grass was to long and the wind was not helping either "as you can see".

lol

The stamped dress images are from Character Constructions and were the perfect size to go with my  heads. 

I will be creating more furry friends and I think they all will need to wear red ballet slippers.

Happy creating.  

      

Wicked Lovely

All Dolled Up

All  the amazing blooming spring flowers inspired my newest journal page.  

The vintage faces are from awesome Tumble Fish Studio and Crowabout.
I added some small changes to to the image face with the crown because....
"My passion for make up + big eye lashes".

Sometimes less is more.

 Happy creating.

Wonderland Dreams

Alice had a recurring dream about a smiling cat, a rabbit in a waistcoat, and a dodo with a walking cane. Her father tells her that it is only a dream and that dreams cannot harm her.

I used spray ink+  my neon crayons to create the colours for my background. 

It is such a pleasure to create with this magical Lewis Carroll characters..

Maybe one day Alice's dreams will come true...

Dream big !!!    



Believe In The Impossible

Charles Kingsleigh always believed that " the only way to achieve the impossible is believe it is possible" a belief he had passed on to his daughter Alice.

Alice In Wonderland... the classic story created by Lewis Carroll is so timeless and magical. I imagine you have guessed it is one of my top favorite fairytale.

Never lose your muchness and live your big dreams...

       

           

Butterfly Moon

Fly and be free ...said the moon.

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursed, is always just beyond your grasp, with which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.~ Nathaniel  

I never get enough of creating with wings...such endless possibilities to fly away...
Almost all the art doll parts are from Character Constructions.

Happy Creating.
