Peace and Serenity live in an idealized world where everything is peaceful and serene. Composure is more of a realist and lives in a realistic world where she is always composed. It may be a realistic world, but not one that rattles her.
They are mixed media Victorian collage and paper-clay wood art dolls that I made back in September of 2014 - two with paper-clay faces and one with a paper face.
I have always loved how Peace and Serenity came out. They're the two shown on the left and in the center in the picture above. I wasn't totally happy with Composure, who is the doll on the right in the picture above, so I decided to revise her face and sculpt a paper-clay one instead.
Here's how she used to look:
Here's how she looks now:
I decided to sculpt her face with paper-clay. Then I painted her face, lips and eyebrows. Her eyes are a combination of an eye graphic and painted shading on her eyelids. Her corrugated paper glasses were painted with gold glitter and then glued to the brim of her nose. I tweaked her hair a little and gave her straight bangs. I hope you like how she turned out.
