ETA: It's a bit of a cheat to post this girl because I made her before today, but I really wanted to share her. I am participating in all the Mix challenges and I rarely get to post anywhere near the time of the challenge. I am doing a new one for each challenge, I am not taking double credit if something qualifies for more than one challenge, and I am savoring the entries that other people post. Thanks to everyone who is participating, and for the hostesses especially! Blessings. Lela
I am in a swap for Prima dolls, and the moderator issued us a challenge to use textiles. Here is long view of girl #1. The dress. headband, and bodice are made from Stampin' Up! fabric, and the ruffle is SU! lace. The shadows were done with Pitt Pens. matching paper is SU! dsp. SU! roses ribbons, and flowers. SU! pearls on the ring finger, necklace, flowers, and near the phrases. The hair was done with colored watercolor pencils, and Golden "paint retarder." I love the slow drying time -- I was able to make curls in the hair!

I just took a technique class with Claudine Hellmuth, where I learned that matte medium works just as well with fabric collage as it does with paper. I used matte medium underneath and on top of the fabric!

Lela this is AWESOME!! I'm so glad you put it in the MIX gallery...I love your doll..the skirt of that is so cool..the lace on the bottom is a great accent. The patchwork bg is a perfect way to display your girl..the roses at the top and bottom are really fun and give it a shabby chic look. Your "inner artist" lead you to a wonderful mixed media piece in this ;)
Stunning!!! I love the torn paper bg and the Prima doll is just gorgeous! The sentiment is terrific! Love the way you framed the sentiment pieces! It's going in my favorites!
