Collage background class

and yes, there is going to be  a Collage backgrounds class as well at Redmill Studio/gallery the following weekend in March (18th). This will be a 1 day class and will also be fully catered and lots of fun. Hope to see you there.
Contact Rocheen at Redmill for details or email me.

Believe

Here is a sneak peek at my new doll which will appear in the Australian Dolls, Bears and Collectables due out in late Nov. It was really great to be asked again to make a doll for the magazine and I really enjoyed making an all cloth doll - though she has some fun mediums to explore in her creation.... but you will have to wait for the magazine LOL!

standing still

This is "standing still" - something we all do not do enough of, me thinks!
After selling the previous collage I was inspired to put a few more words down.
I really find the collage process a calming one and a joy how the colours and patterns intermix.
They aren't perfect but I am enjoying the way they develop.

pixelated pictures

I just had to put a pic of this cool new (to me) tool. It takes one of our photos and enlarges it to be printed out of A4 paper - giving one great big as you want wall art. I can see a lot of pictures heading my way to be printed...and even transfer prints......and so on. My head is spinning.
This one is my gorgeous girl Issy in my studio.
i think I might just start papering the walls at our beach house with pics of the kids and beach....
It is an old place so no harm will be done and the walls have panels so I can paper up in between - guess what I'll be doing this weekend!
http://homokaasu.org/ is the site I got it from.

Dream

This is Dream and I am going to attempt to make the doll to match!
The collage is the easy part - but I figure if painting her face on the collage is just like how I do my dolls faces then why shouldn't I be able to reverse the process!
I think getting the form of the body movement might be the harder part - so suggestions are welcomed!....please

New class

Just posting in to say that I have a new class starting on http://www.dollstreetdreamers.com
It is "Imagine"....a collage class. I found that I have really enjoyed the challenge of transferring some of my doll making skills to canvas and know that I can help others do the same with a few good, simple techniques and ideas. Class starts in May and if you sign up now you will also get a copy of my "Sporty Sam" pattern in PDF to make. So what are you waiting for.......??????

LooK

This is LooK. The latest of my collage work. She will live at our beach house. She is quite a large work for me so I found that a challenge - need to get a easel for a start! Her face is done mainly with pastels and a little paint.
