This is the first in my series of ten Lucky Lady dolls.  She is my original design from head to toe.  She is 13 1/4 ” tall handmade from cotton,and  hand painted with fabric paints.  Her hands and legs are papier-mache. I stamped her dress with the Chinese character for good luck. She comes with a specially made card that tells all about her and signed by me, the artist.  She is not intended as a toy for children, but for the still imaginative child inside the grown up heart.

Good Luck Doll #2

This is my first finished Good Luck Doll.  She is 13″ high and made of cloth.  She can sit anywhere or she can hang on a wall. I hand painted her and embellished her with beads, trim, and stamps.    She is holding a green and blue dragonfly, the symbol of dreams, in each hand.  As I worked with her, I wanted to make her more magical and whimsical.

Our dreams often seen as flights of fancy and unreal like magic, but like the doll, we do hold our dreams in our hands and we can make them real. The key is to have a sense of humor about it and not take everything so serious.

 I will be making more dolls for sale in the future.  I can also custom make a doll for you. Just contact me at Marcieart.  It comes to me as an email and I will respond to you promptly.  If you are interested in this Good Luck doll click on the icon below and it will take you to PayPal.

Good Luck Doll

This little doll evolved from the tooth fairy doll.  She is still in the process of becoming.  I will be posting pictures of her finished self soon. 

It is remarkable how much you can change the doll’s look with a few paints, ribbon, or beads.  I changed the face by covering over the original face with a piece of cloth and then painting it.  I added new hair, took off the dress, painted the body of the doll, and stamped it with a good luck stamp etc.

A few things I learned it that it is best to have the face done before you add hair, and that painting body parts isn’t as difficult as I thought if they are well stuffed. 

This simple doll pattern has given me the opportunity to explore the possibilities of making dolls.  She will be my good luck doll, a symbol of my muse as I continue on in this endeavor.

The Tooth Fairy

I am really getting a kick out of working in 3D .  I started out making cats for my grandchildren for Christmas, and they were so fun.  I had fashioned my own pattern, and it was interesting to see the way their personalities came to to life and both were so unique and comical.  I hope to get pictures of them soon.  In my hurry to mail them off, I forgot to take a picture myself.

 I decided to make this tooth fairy for my daughter-in-law who is a dentist.  This little tooth fairy is 13″ tall and I used a picture of my daughter-in-law for the face.  Her body is made from cotton and painted with fabric paint, and I made a big smile the same way. Her hair is made from mohair.  It  is obvious that the doll is inteneded to be a comical and fun loving.  I hope she receives it in this manner.  What do you think?

Elemental Landscapes

There is something so refreshing to be able to just work with more simplified shapes and feel the flow.  This piece that I call Elemental Landscape is one of those that gave me so much pleasure.  I liked the curving lines and the basic colors.  Interestingly, I can never seem to photograph it as it really is.  The colors never come out the same.  The original piece is 16 x 20 acrylic and it is available for purchase through PayPal.

Sisters

Sisters 6 x 7 1/2 mixed media collage

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow are sisters that play with us.  They changes places when we aren’t looking and they are completely beyond anyone’s control.  Today and Tomorrow become Yesterday without regard to what we are feeling and sometimes we carry Yesterday into Today and Tomorrow and that robs of living fully.
