Doll making :)

This week I have been making paper mache dolls.

First I had to start with the inside and then add the clay.

After covering the inside I had to make the faces and accessories like the heart and the crown.

I like to start with a black paint, don't know why but I think it gives a great tone, maybe I'm wrong.

Finding the face.

Nowe it was time to paint, first I had to make a blend I liked.

Next was to start with the face.

Then it was the polish with brown colour.

She agrees. 

Look how innocent she is.

She is spontaneous.

She is curious.

Surprised.

She doesn't chare.

I love them, each and every one.

Hope you like my dolls. One is sold already.

Have a wonderful week.

New painting..

I did star working on this one when I took a workshop in Norway in May.

The teacher was Jenny Grant.

I had a wonderful time, painting for 3 days with wonderful friends both old and new.

Can't wait for the next workshop we take together.

Jenny the teacher is an angel, I became her friend in some online FB group and then I took her class in LB and then she was the host for Tracys class in Sweden two years ago.

And here is another one, this one is old, always trying to finish with this one but never happy, think Ill collage over her and start all over again.

Have a great day all of you :)

Having so much fun taking Lilla Rogers class Make art that sells

After drawing this lovely lady, coloring her in Ps I had to try to paint one... 

I love this gray, red, white colors together.

I have been making or decorating plates, this one was the easy one. 

Find it so crazy interesting to paint my drawings in Ps.

I made this one round but somewhere on the way i did cut my plate like this, have to find the round copy, sure I saved it somewhere.

One plate with pattern is a must do.. Love these colors.

Here I was thinking about Spoonflower competition.. 

This was my first drawing painted in Ps, not bad :)

Have a beautiful week

Two new paintings from the Soul Food class :)

Trying to catch up with my Soul Food class..

Soul Food. Week 34. Teacher Patti Ballard.

I did like this lesson a lot but Im not happy with my girl... She was supposed to have her eyes closed and a small mouth but I did not like her that way so I opened her eyes and made her mouth bigger but I still think the mouth is to little..... 

But I love the flowers, her dress and the background.

Soul Food week 32. Teacher Mitsi..

I allways love to see Mitsi´s classes. Love the way she creates with out rules and does not make any mistakes... 

I think this one is going to one of my favorite... there is something about this one...

On my desk is one Im working on and the teacher is my favorite girl Mystele.

Have a great weekend

What a wonderful home made cat...

In my paper maché class on Tuesday I was working on a large bowl, I did forget my camera at home so I don't have any photos.

When waiting for the bowl to dry I made a little cat.

To day at home I did not have any paper maché so I did use a self dry clay to finish of my cat.

I think this is going to be a perfect cat for all my birds... maybe I should make a birds cage so the cat wont catch all my birds. 

I was working on my christmas girl as well, I finished painting her so now I can have her hanging on my wall during christmas.  You can see my christmas girl dressed in red. 
This is what I have been doing last weeks working with paper maché. The girl dressed in blue is a doll I made of fabric and paper clay. 
Have a wonderful sunday.

What to do staying at home with a flu...

 Last week I was sick, staying at home, having a flu.

I was to sick to sit and paint so I moved over to my sofa.

I love to sit in front of the TV with my Neocolor and my watercolor paper and just start drawing.

I did start drawing one bird, then another.

I had to make background so I did draw houses, mountain and just kept on drawing till I was happy with my drawing.

Then I only needed one fine brush, water and my Neocolor.

    

The next day I did want to draw again so I started drawing an owl. When taking Life Book 2012 Juliette Crane was one of the teachers and she was teaching how to draw an owl.

I love her style of drawing and painting. 

Now I´m back to work, have had a busy week but now it is weekend.... love it :)

Have a wonderful weekend and a happy PPF to all of you.
