January 25th : Art Doll (Style Challenge)

Fishing in the summer time

 

I was inspired by both color palette and music from Spring:

 

Totally out of my style, but fun to try!

 

I have put this off till the very last, it scares me, how do you even start?

 

I was inspired by Summer

I saved this really fun one until last. This MOC I have finally become at peace with the art journaling style!

ETA Spring obviously! It is my favourite season. I love how it is all about new life - my own three were each born in a Spring month.

 

@Firstoscartgrouch It can be as simple as a background paper. Pieces of Tangie's template clipped to other papers, then arrange. A head, torso and 2 arms. Once you get those 5 things laid out, if you want to add anything go for it. If not, submit it? It doesn't have to be fancy. I dragged my feet forever before finally finishing up my first dolls. Today's dolls still aren't quite what I hope for but I'm learning and a few of my 'not up to par yet' dolls have become faves.

Or Title page - How NOT to make an art doll. Arrange 5 pieces, scatter some random seasonal elements, a pair of scissors (or glue, etc) and call it done?
Or maybe start with a scene? Then place the 5 doll pieces in it.
Or maybe put down the 5 doll pieces and then put a halloween costume over it?
Ohh,, just thought of one I want to do for me - put down a selfie and frame it (to appear like a mirror). Then build a doll facing away from viewer - looking into mirror....I'd need word art. Yep, gotta go, hope you find a fun solution!

 

I was inspired by Autumn! Definitely out of my comfort zone!

 

My art doll's face ended up a little on the creepy side, but I still had fun creating her!

I started with the doll parts and built a random doll... lol... from there, I'm not sure... trying it myself now. GOOD LUCK!

 

Ummm... yes, okay here's mine. Have fun reading my gallery "credits".

 

The first Friday in February is designated wear red day to bring awareness of heart disease the #1 killer of women. Even though it is a winter date the the layout the colours the feeling invoked in living, and life all shout spring to me when there is a renewal of life.
