"Frida" page 2 complete!


I was pleased with the way she came out. I gained some self control and kept her black and white and then to sooth my soul I added some color in the background with collage papers.

    Rebecca, I think this looks great with her only b/w. Always love to see your color, so glad you got a chance to use it on the background.

    Your instincts are right on. I love the black and white and she stands out so dramatically after adding color in the background. She's so fascinating to look at, stare at. You should make her BIG, BIG!!

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.

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.
