Challenge Theme by ArtsyMama is "Curiosity". The challenge also had specific instructions for creating a page. (Please check out her blog for that.) For this challenge I was inspired to try paper casting by a great tutorial that Michelle Ward posted here.My page spread was already painted. The techniques that I used were: paint, text that I found in a junk mail subscription offer received yesterday, paper, writing, sand, stamp, 3-d, surprise, and charcoal. The surprise element was the piece of acetate that I had used as a paint pallet and had also punched out a butterfly for some other project. It is under the paper casting.
For my paper casting I used one of my original doll molds.
This is one of the porcelain dolls made from the mold. She is dollhouse size and is a bridesmaid. I want to tell you more about all of that as I feel I may have gone full circle now. But I am way past bed-time and just must tell you goodnight and....More later,

Norah, do you want to go completely mad. Have you seen the Somerset Studio publication 'ART DOLL'.
ReplyDeleteCombining a past interest with the one one. can be a possible new thing.
Art and Dolls. Both are art.
Your work fits it nicely.
Sharon, your page is stunning!!! I love the lush colors and how you personally interpreted that theme by trying out something new. I'm a bit late with the second challenge but hope to post something tonight. And I will have to have a go at that paper casting technique! Thanks for sharing. Ok, need to get my hands on some molds first.
