As mentioned in my previous post, over a year ago JoAnn Robinson, who is an amazing artist, posted about some of the mixed media digital paper doll images that she had created. I saw them and just fell in love with them. They were just adorable and I knew I had to create something with them.
Jo is an online friend of mine from some of my Artful Gathering online classes who sells her digital art in her waifsNwhatnots Etsy store. As I usually do I got carried away and ended up buying a lot of her digital images. I just couldn't resist them.
Well, as craft projects usually go with me I wasn't able to play with them until a couple of weeks ago and play I did. Jo's paper art doll images are just so much fun to create with and I couldn't resist creating mixed media art paper art doll pictures on art boards.
I wanted to create different seasonal and holiday picture decorations of various art board sizes and envisioned some would hang on my wall and some would be stand alone art pictures in picture stands.
I also wanted my mixed media pictures to create a 3d effect so I added a combination of collage images, sponge painting, mixed media fibers, ribbons, buttons, 3d paper flowers, paper foliage, dried floral, and fringe.
Given that Christmas is my all time favorite decorating season I knew I would love all of Jo's Christmas paper art doll images. So, when I saw Jo's paper art doll star angels and elf I knew I would be making some of them right away. They were the first pictures I created.
I ended up making 3 pictures for the Christmas holiday decorating season and they are as follows:
For this picture I added glitter paint, puffy paint, fiber embellishments and paper flower embellishments.
Created from Jo's
