Hello 
Today's MOC 6- day 25th is to make a page where the main feature is an Art Doll. As many of you have panicked
here are some ideas...but in not so many words:
just get inspired, choose your colors, grab some papers, and clip the parts of the template you chose to a paper, and then put the parts together.... you can add things if you like!!!
The inspiration DOES NOT NEED TO be according with the seasons..... whatever the piece you choose tells you, go for it
We have the template that Tangie has offered so kindly.
There are parts, so you can choose your body, the head, the arms, and, if you want, a crown or legs, and look for nice papers you like,
You can go super simple by just clipping one paper to the body/dress, or you can do what I did, which was add to the skirt, I made some frills with the wings from the template and layered them as a skirt.
You can choose to make the dress/torso with just one paper you clip to the template part, or you can clip the paper but you can embellish it, I ma`de a dress entirely filled with sequins once....or you can make it all of flowers!!!!
If you are more of a clean * simple, minimalist, you can go as clean as you want...this is YOUR doll!!!!!
there are enough kits that you can make her into a cook (goody/kitchen kits have even aprons you can use!!! a doctor, a teacher with tons of books around her or a singer or a skateboarder!!!! the thing is limitless!!!!
I used a flair that comes with a face, then for the crown, I clipped one of the template's crown with a paper which I also used for the skirt, and added a crown that was in one of my kits,
The wings are also from a kit, the blouse part of the dress is a piece of paper cut in a rough circle then I erased to let the arms show more natural, and added the little flowers as a collar.
There are tons of shoes in kits of you want to go for legs, but you can not have legs,
Also, for the dress, you can clip one paper but then add stuff on top to make it more fancy...is to have fun more than anything!!!! Like when we were little and play dressing dolls!!!
If you have girls, daughters , nieces, grandchildren, think is like sitting with them to play Barbie o Polly Pockets or whatever they c all them these days LOL I made dresses for Sarita's dollies when she was little, and we had a blast dressing them up!!!
well, in here, you get the clothes almost ready!!!!
Also the page doesn't need to tell ME anything...doesn't need to have a meaning (of course it can if you wish!!!!!) I made the first one on a time theme as I will be 60 this year .... and time flies...so I thought of Dawn's winged clock and was perfect!!!! the suitcase is from Kim Jensen 's part of a collab which I think she still has her part, it was a summer one, I ll look it up, because my doll loves traveling (I do!!!) and the umbrella as we have been having really difficult time, weather and life all alike
In my first page I used a textured paper from Lynn Grieveson clipped to the dress, then added the clock with wings which is from a Dawn Inskip kit, the boots I just cut a piece of paper and erased around the feet of the template... the face, arms (even though in my first doll you can't see them) are a neutral tone paper layered under and erased the borders.
There is so much you can use to dress the doll up, flowers, beads, metal pieces, but in not so many words:
You can use the template parts, clip a paper of the colors that the images or the music (or both together!) inspire you (no need to be seasonal, what you feel, what you like, it goes !!) and clip , put the parts together..... and then make the page around as full or as empty as you like!!!!! We wont be using photos here, but I use dolls a lot with "normal" photo pages, I will grab an example and show you.
I will also put together a series of products you may like to use, you do NOT need art journal stuff or mixed media, of course you can use if you like, but you can make dolls that will look awesome with "normal" kits!!!!
If you are still having trouble, tag me or pm me and I can work with you to help you decide what you want, or if you have never used a template, we can help you to learn how to clip too, is super easy!!!!!
SO anything, give us a shout!!!
Can;t wait to see what you all make!!!!
a few products that can help you (faces, mouth , eyes, ) but you go for a faceless doll if you think is easier for you, j
I ll try make time to come link you up with more products
