I had a ART DOLL PLAY DAYS in my studio this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There were 5 of us and it was FUN!! No teacher, just playing and creating our Art Dolls. Each of us put a shoe box of stuff together and drew names to see who's box we get. Oh! great stuff in all the boxes. Some put their stuff in the middle of the table BUT I didn't. LOL LOL!!! I got Jean Bernard's box so I kept what was in mind. LOL!! Jean, Linda, Sandy, Diane and myself of course had more fun. We even took a night trip to Carol the ribbon lady. WOW! Carol's house is to die for. I love going to her house. All antiques in every room. Her house could be a museum. Then we went in her shop to purchase stuff! We always love going to Carol's to shop.
I didn't take pictures because batteries were dead as usual. Jean took pictures of all of our Art Dolls. She is going to send pictures and then will put them up. I did take a picture today of my finished Art Doll. Batteries are charged. I hate batteries!! Always have to charge them.
MEET "CANDELEA" My Art Doll
BACK VIEW OF CANDELEA
FACE VIEW OF "CANDELEA"
CANDELEA'S torso is an antique small lantern. The door opens to expose the candle. I made the candle out of paper clay, painted with blue paint, blue glitter and copper glitter. The lantern doors close and you can see the candle through the beautiful glass.
Hope you enjoyed "CANDELEA"
Love & Hugs,
Fran

she's fabulous - wouldn't it be fun to use a real candle :)
I love the idea of incorporating the lantern. That just gives the doll a wonderul and very special twist. Thanks for sharing.
She is beautiful!
What a wonderful idea. Your doll is beautiful.
Candelea has a wonderfully divine aura. Will you reflect a bit on what her hair is and how you were able to flair her hair and clothing out? So unique the little lantern. Just love it Fran and thank you for sharing with us.
