My dolls made of clay :)

.

Im taking a class with Jeanne-Marie Webb, Soulbearer.

In the class we are working with self drying clay.

I love this class.

First I made one, Then I made two more.

I left them to dry over one night and then they were ready for paint..

The first layer was black as always when working with clay.

Then it was the second layer and the third and so on until I was happy.

Painting the face was the most difficult part. 

I think Im finished with her face but going to add more layers to her body.. 

And then I have two to paint :) 

Have a great week..

I did make a beautiful bird...

Today I made this beautiful bird.

First I made his body with aluminium foil, then I covered the body with tape. After the tape I did add paper mache clay. It was not very easy using the brand I did use, i know of another brand much easier to use. Now it was a time to add some legs, I made some of wire and pearl.

When I had made a beautifully shaped bird with eyes and a little pattern here and there. I left it for some hours to dry.

When my bird was dry I did start painting.

I choose to paint him with pink, turquoise and white colors.

After the paint was dry I did add some brown paint over the whole bird and washed it of at the same time. Left in the pattern was little brown color.

Now it was time to add some feathers and a string so that I could hang him up.

I'm very happy with my bird.

Love him :)

Have a great day

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.

From my Paper Maché class

 Im taking a paper maché class here at home. I go there once in a week for three hours.

Our first assignment was to make a lady. That was not hard for me, Im used to making or painting ladies.

We did start making shoulders, then we made the head. I had to make mine with a long neck.

The hair was made with silk paper but the body with newspapers. I made her a neckless, that I made with wire and silk paper.

I made a beautiful dress for her with collage paper I have and started working with her face by adding white silk paper.

Before I had to add a wings to all my ladies but now Im not finished with out making a bird.

I love this long legged bird whispering some secret in her ear.

Now it was time to start painting. I took her home, I wanted to be in my studio, having my things around me to get the feeling for her face.

And she is done, what do you think? 

I might add some colored flowers to her hair, but just a little dots here and there.

In the next class I made this one. LOVE him...

Have a beautiful week and a happy PPF (S) Im always so late posting ...

It is friday again..

Last weeks I have made these 3, love each and everyone of them.

they are painted with acryl on canvas.

As you know then Im taking classes all the time and in these paintings I can see the technic I have learned from few of my classes and I love to see how I mix all of them together to make my own style.

I love little birds so I had to have birds in my painting. It is always the same type of bird but with a different decorations.

I have one more canvas like these so Im going to make one more, have already made the sketch for it.

My paper maché lady is not ready yet. I have brought her home so I have her on my desk and se is ready to get her face done.

Now I have diary for year 2014 ready for sale as well as I have sketchbooks and notebooks.

when Im not painting Im knitting or crocheting. This time Im making some squares for 

´Lily´ - love in the language of yarn. 

A beautiful project for the children in Syria. 

  

I bought me a new book, it just arrived but it is a beautiful book from Mindy Murphy Lacefield, I highly recommend it if you love to look at others art, she also shows us the way she creates her girls. 

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend and happy PPF to you :)
