Little Jane Paper Doll in a Standing Vignette Card

Little Jane is a paper doll that I designed many years ago. I drew her and then scanned her and finally chose to print her out onto card stock as a pencil drawing. I paint her in various colors using water color paint, and then I cut her out and create little places for her to be on exhibit. Therefore, she is a print, but also a painting and a cut out.  I now have 7 of her, in various dress colors, listed on my ETSY shop for sale. 

Paper Doll ~ Mademoiselle Rose

Mademoiselle Rose is a 13 inch tall firm paper mache doll permanently attached to her decorative wooden stand. She is made of chip board, mache and and then she is painted. She is now listed to sell on my Etsy store.

Paper Doll ~ In Love With Love

This little lady paper doll is a firm creation of chip board and paint. She is 10 inches tall. I have her permanently secured into a little wooden stand. She is now available on my Etsy store. One can see that she is deeply in love, for there is a heart on the book she is holding closely. I made her a little pink fence that she can either stand behind or not. Her stand is an embellished piece of wood.

Collage and Encaustic Book ~ Morning Light

Here is a little book that I recently made. It is now listed at my Etsy store. There are actually 22 individual pages counting the cover and the back. I am sharing six of them here today.

Paper Doll ~ Angel on a Cloud

Now listed on my Etsy store is my one of a kind, 14 inch paper doll, Angel on a Cloud. I am of late enjoying the creating of my paper dolls that I actually create on a heavier substrate in the chip board family. I then paint the doll and attach it to a stand.

Newest Creations

Here are a few of my latest creations that I just added to my ETSY SHOP. Some have sold but not all. Thank you for visiting my blog!

Flow Blue Sugarbowl, Antique with Floral Arrangement

This beautiful, antique flow blue sugar bowl lost its lid, and so, I elected to make it into a permanent flower arrangement along with a lovely sepia toned photo of a little girl with her pet bird.

I used to create make-do pincushions from this sort of thing. It has been very gratifying for me to make them into little floral/picture arrangements for a change. My charge for one as a pincushion was very high, due to the work as well as the value of the antique piece. These days people do not feel they can afford such a thing, and the early dishes are also no longer much appreciated, hence they are practically given away. This one only cost my client $36.00. A few years ago, as a pincushion, I commanded and received sometimes up to $450.00!

When out and about shopping amongst antiques stores and estate sales or wherever, I cannot pass up these dear, rejected and gorgeous remnants of the past. Most of them I keep, but as space itself is a commodity, I must part with a few from time-to-time. I am so happy that this beauty is en route to beautiful New Mexico.
