Doll Parts

I have plans for the doll parts I bought on Ebay. I really wanted heads, arms and legs but they were too expensive so I ended up with weird parts. I also have some tiny china dolls - I wrapped a few in wire. Not sure where they will end up.

Altered book Hands spreads

The first spread was painted with gesso, red paint with some gold accents then black paint. Words about hands were written on the pages and scratches were made in the paint. A cutout of my hand was outlined in white paint. I added stickers and rub ons and some bling.

The next two photos are of the sign in tag. I made the hands out of clay.

The next spread used luminer paint and tyvek that has been stamped and heated. The Geisha is a painted hand - how cool is that?

Altered Book on Hands

The theme of the book I'm working on this month is Hands. The two techniques are: scrapping paint with reverse stencil and using Luminer paints on tyvek then using a heat gun on it. I missed the class so I got to go to the teacher's house to have a private lesson. Everyone's book is looking good. It will be nice to have art work from all the artists and also have a wonderful book with lots of memories when the class is over.

I'll post some photos tomorrow. I can't believe that I'm sitting in bed with my sleeping cat typing on the laptop. We installed a wireless network today so all the computers can get on the internet. No more waiting to check my mail or post to my blog! It doesn't get much better than that.
