Wall Dolls

Well I had been working on another one for a while and put it in the closet because I didn't really like her very much at first . I did it the same way I did this one
                                      (  I do love this one )


 I used some left over foam board I had from making a light box for both of these. I had no idea how I was going to turn either one of these into something solid and hang able because they curled when I painted them. I still haven't framed the one above yet , but now that I know I can make it work with a staple gun and some canvas stretching boards .. I need to. The one I finished yesterday turned out like this..




I like her a lot better now. I guess she is pretty darn cute and kinda grew on me a little. She looks really peaceful & happy anyway. I sort of told myself that from now on I  really need to focus on finishing some unfinished things I have tossed aside , whether I am feeling them or not. I think it is important that I see it through and not have all these unfinished pieces just floating around everywhere taking up space and cluttering my mind , I think it makes for bad creative chi . So it is one of my short term goals :

 FINISH UNFINISHED PROJECTS LISA !




      I 'm also working on a mixed media art doll that has just been a head for a couple of weeks ...  put her body together yesterday.. I'm diggin her , I painted her face on gessoed canvas and then sewed her face into the felt to make her head. what do you think?



I decided she is going to be some sort of fairy queen so that is going to be her crown and I made her some wings out of floral wire and pretty tissue paper. I don't know if she will have arms and legs or not but at least she can fly ! and I think I am going to embellish the heck out of her with pretty buttons and such. I think she will be a nice addition when I'm done.





 



 I haven't  finished trimming her wings yet .

Gluey Feathers on a Flume

This Morning I woke up to this Beautiful fog ..




My kitty Creepers was in as much Awe as I was ...




Yes , I have a cat now . She just creeped up one day and decided this is her home. Not a huge cat person , but she is very sweet . I don't mind if she stays.....





I happened to be listening to these guys a whole bunch this morning . A friend of mine just recently brought them to my attention. How suiting .. What a hauntingly beautiful morning  :)

DoorWays

 A Gift



Maybe you can believe
If you take the time to dream
In the places in between
Things aren’t always as they seem....

Paper Dolls and The Enchanted Garden...


                                    






   " Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering , makes someone a friend. "
 





I used card stock and then collaged scrap booking paper scraps on top of the doll shapes I cut out . I painted the faces with water colors and micro pens on poster board and cut them out. Decorated them with buttons , letter stamps , lace , rhinestones and glued it all together with gloss medium. Ribbon and little pearly bead strands for tree hanging 


Joy  : )






  























Warming up with some Cappuccino, My nose is cold . Remember ? I'm a Southerner now , can't hang in the cold anymore !


Ohhhhhhhhhh  Night Divine....
More warming up . My husband made it , he is almost as good a cook as me  ;)

I'm Dreaming of a PINK Christmas ?

let me introduce you to our tree , I really like the white ones because they remind me of snow , being that I grew up in Colorado and now live in Georgia  , we don't get as much of it here. However , we did have a white Christmas last year ! The first I have ever seen since I moved here. May we be so lucky this year  :)  I got some "purple" Christmas lights and they are actually pink lol ....  I think I like it
     (we hadn't put the ornaments on yet)  I think it needs some fairies ...



My Husband and Three year old painting  :)




We also made this mini tree tree...



and this is Kashi's  Winter Wonderland he made. Next he wants to make a card for Santa  ( too sweet )




 Our Gingerbread House rules.  ( note the five eyed ginger bread man with half eaten head )  RULES !  even though it fell apart , it was tasty.




Happy Holidays !

Somewhere to Rest your Head

Ok not really because it's decorative and I wouldn't really use it as a pillow , but it sure is purty to look at !  I'm getting so close to having enough items ready to re-open my Esty store , Wewt  !!
