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 - especially the witches.
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.
I ended up making 4 pictures for the fall and Halloween decorating season because the witches were too adorable to resist. The pictures I created are as follows:
For this picture I added fiber embellishments, button embellishments, and paper flower embellishments.
Created from Jo's
Halloween Witch Paper Doll Poe Crow And Friend Lenore Articulated Instant Digital Download.
For this picture I added fiber embellishments, paper flora embellishments, and paper flower embellishments.
For this picture I used two different sizes of Jo's witch images. I also added fiber embellishments, button embellishments, paper flora embellishments, dried floral embellishments and paper flower embellishments.
For this picture I added fiber embellishments, silk ribbon floral embellishments, and paper flower embellishments.
Please stay tuned for my subsequent posts as they show in more detail the mixed media paper art doll pictures I created for the Christmas holiday season, spring season and as a present for one of my grandsons.
I still have a lot left to create when I get a chance. I'm not sure when that will be but I do, eventually, end up with some free time when I can play with Jo's paper art doll images again.
If you get a chance to visit Jo's
waifsNwhatnots Etsy shop to see her adorable paper doll images I hope you end up playing like I did. Way, way too much fun for a senior citizen to be having.... lol
