Changes for the better...

This is the "Sacred Self Care" art doll I made for a 
LifeBook 2019 class with
Tamara Laporte.
(this class can now be bought individually)
She showed us how to work with clay
(but I decided to embrace my impatience)
and used a "Russian doll" for my base.
 I have had this set for year and don't really
do "Father Christmas"....
 I sanded each one and coated with white gesso...
 then black gesso as I was going to use them 
for a "darker" project.
 I can't go through the "re-decorating" process as 
it is a paid for class....
 but I think you might enjoy a few close-ups
 as she is subtley sparkly
 and I still have 4 little gems waiting for rebirth.

Enjoy XXX

  3. You embrace impatience so prettily.

    Also, I'm extremely curious about that "darker project". As you probably suspected I would be.

  6. What a clever re-purposing of that nesting dolls. I like how you've made it purely you. I'm curious to see how your creative mind will reinvent the remaining dolls.
