Santos Style Cage Doll~OOAK~SOLD

It's been a while since I've made any dolls......but, I'm back into creating again. This is a Santos style cage doll that I wanted to try. The head is made of paper clay, cloth body with button joints at the shoulders and wooden ball joints at the elbows. The cage is made of wood and painted with acrylic paints. The doll is also painted with acrylics and stained to give it a vintage look. This doll has now moved to CT.

Folk Art Angel~Hope~ OOAK Mixed Media Painting~SOLD

This was an old shudder door which I removed the inside from and added a ¼ inch plywood. The textured background was painted in acrylics with various colors and designs. I then painted a sweet folk art angel named "Hope." She wears a ¼ inch thick polymer clay dress which has a small metal embellishment that says "Hope". The dress has lots of texture and embellishments, sprinkled lightly with glitter. The frame was painted barn red and crackled. The whole piece measures 26 x 9 x ¾ inch thick. Lots of detail to this One of a Kind Mixed Media Art. Will now be hanging in CA.

Just completed a doll set for our group challenge in (SoATP) Sisterhood of all Things Primitive group. Our challenge was to create Nursery Rhyme dolls so I thought I'd put together a Dish and Spoon. The heads are made of wood and they have muslin bodies. With paint and coffee staining, I captured just what I wanted them to be. :o) They are now moving to WA. :o)
