Mixing The Old With The New











These are some photos of the journal I am currently working on. I think I may be obsessed with journals. I was looking through all my art stuff yesterday and found all these journals starting in 2005 that were so unfinished. I'm talking stacks of black journals that I started and never finished. So.....I thought to myself......why not use these images since I put so much time into them and thought ....why not consolidate them?? So I have gone through my journals and removed all the best images I think I'll be able to work with. I've cut up doodled watercolors for borders and put some of my pen and ink face illustrations in the centers. I still have many more to look through but this is the start of it all. These are just the beginnings of the pages I will be transforming even more with my obsession with intricate detail. My plan is to make each page look like a jewel. Many of the small face images within these pages will soon be transformed into the jewelery as I was talking about earlier this week. I just love that you can shrink these pages to 25% to get tiny images for jewelery.

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
