Third version of the stump doll
I know I said the next thing would be the baby doll but communication between Alaska and Israel takes a couple of days. Rivkah gets up when I go to bed so it takes a while for our letters to catch up to each other. You know how that goes. 
So in the meantime I started to paint the prototype for the Stump Sisters. This was the plain muslin doll I made as my final test. I painted her in sunset colors (with acrylics) then glued crumpled white tissue paper over her whole body. After that I sponged on two colors of Lumiere paint and some Pearl Ex Interference Gold. Dabbed a bit of black glitter paint on also. She really shines - which is pretty hard to capture with the camera. I'm not sure where she will go from here. I'm thinking of giving her some skirts that have been dipped in Paverpol and then painted. We'll see.
Fabulous texture, and I love the depth of color you have created. Zapping the photo into a close up makes me want to reach through the computer screen and touch her.

Now, do you REALLY want to be responsible for such an atrocity as I'M sure to come up with? Hahahahaha ... of COURSE, you don't! Seriously (well, THAT was serious - sort of - but MORE seriously) I LOVE this doll! And I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to make one!
Posted by: Kai at May 14, 2007 1:51 PMOh so lovely. She is going to turnout into a stunner. Each one is so different and lovelier than the other. YOu students will be spoilt for choice and if that doesn't inspire them nothing else will I think.
Posted by: shashi at May 14, 2007 11:11 PMIsn't it fun to paint a doll sometimes and I love playing with tissue paper, lumeire paints and pearl ex, I think I'm going to have to make another painted mermaid now. she is going to be smashing, can't wait to see how she comes out!

PS- We are only allowed to water our lawn once a week during specific hours and it isn't near enough to keep a lawn green and alive with the intense sunshine we have down here.
