Art Dolls, part 1
In the art journaling class I'm teaching, one of the lessons is based on taking an art doll and then building an art journal page around it. I used to have a huge stash of art dolls, but I found it pretty depleted, so I made up a bunch for my class. Thought I'd share them with yo. Ideally, they would be colored and embellished before I declared them done, but I'm afraid I don't have time to do that. Wondering if you've made any art dolls ever? Which of these would you choose and what sort of a page would you build around it?
I haven't come across art dolls before - I'm intrigued. Please tell us more.
ReplyDeleteI love the diversity of the dolls you show, the 1st I'd want to play with is the girl with wings
in the bottom right corner [sorry premature clicking of post button]
ReplyDeleteI've occasionally seen them on other blogs.....especially in art journals.....but never made one.
ReplyDeleteI really like the song boy in the left hand corner....but not sure what I'd use him for.
I've never made one either, but these are so cool! I love the fairy with the wings too.
ReplyDeleteLove your little Degas ballerina fairy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made art dolls since I was at school. Not sure what I'd do with them now. Hmm...
Why not take a look at Jane Dean's blog - she sometimes uses art dolls in her journals. Her stuff is so full of colour, pattern and just a touch of craziness - http://www.seabreezes.typepad.com/
these are so fun - each with his/her own personality! i have never made any art dolls before. i do just love the crowns!
ReplyDeleteNew to me too! I love them all - each tells a different story :-)
