DOLLS & OTHER THINGS

I'm still working on my Gypsy doll for the Gypsy Challenge.  Will finish her today.   My Celebration of dolls is finished and has been.  Have to get them in the mail.  

I will be starting on another new Art Doll.  I have the doll drawn in my sketch book already.  I did that yesterday while watching TV. LOL LOL!!  The Doll YELLS at me no matter where I am or what I'm doing.   I have to put her/him or whatever on paper if possible.  Sometimes they come out of the head as I am creating them. Watching TV or whatever or wherever I am.   No rhyme or reason to when or what my dolls or art wants to be.  I guess one would say my dolls & art pieces control me. LOL!   Yes, some do control what they want to be as I work on them.  I'm sure you know what I mean.  They pop into my head and I try to write them down on paper BUT sometimes I don't have paper and pencil.  I usually carry a pad and pencil with me BUT sometimes I don't.  Usually I remember this doll or art piece AND if I don't they come back to let me know from time to time. LOL!!    What can I say ART IS ART and my quote is " DOLLS ARE MY CANVAS WITH IN MY SOUL" 1996 Fran Parrigan Meehan


Does any one know why we can't post on some blogs and some we can.  I tried to post on a blog and it wouldn't let me.  I did  what google said. Didn't work.  So, I gave up.  Who knows what I did.  I'm sure I will find out. LOL LOL!!  Me and computers don't get along sometimes. LOL

Enough of my rambling on and on and on.   I'll save some of my ramblings  for another time. :-)

Everyone Have A Fantastic Day No Matter What you Are Doing!
Hugs,
Fran

MY NEW ART DOLL "BLU ROSE"

"BLU ROSE" IS MY NEW ART DOLL I DESIGNED AND CREATED. 
I have full view pictures of front and back BUT when I download them into my blog they come over side ways.  I haven't figured that one out yet.   I'll keep working on that and hopefully I can show you the Full View Of "BLU ROSE"    FOR NOW AT LEAST YOU CAN SEE HER TOP HALF. :-)
HUGS, Fran

Here's A New Doll That I Just Finished

"THE COLORFUL KEEPER"  NEW DOLL I JUST FINISHED. 

Her torso is made of cloth with a small tin inside her torso.  The inside of her tiny tin is covered with orange tin foil that holds pieces of dried moss, feather, ribbon and trims.  Front is covered with a piece made of stick pieces, tiny trims, tiny ribbons, flower with Swaroski crystal.  Her hair is created with all kinds of fancy yarns, feather, ribbons and pieces of fancy fabrics.  Her skirt is made from my hand dyed lace embellished with rose buds made of ribbons and tiny micro marbles.   Her face is made from paper clay. I made this face a couple of years ago.  It's a weird shape head. Top of the head is long and curves (can't see it for the hair).  I was going to use this face for ghost and probably still will on a ghost or whatever. :-)   Weird face turned out to look kinda pretty.  GOSH! I have to do something NOT PRETTY!  I did make a BAD BAD SNOWMAN a few years ago.  It was a BAD SNOWMAN. ROFL!
IF you want to see BAD BAD SNOWMAN go to my side bar BLOG ARCHIVE 2009 click on that then go to Oct 24, 2009 Post.
