Mermaid ATC's

This is for a 6/6 swap, mermaids - hand drawn or hand paintied.  I used sharpie and copic markers,with a touch of clear star gelly roll pen by Sakura.  I enjoy the mermaid theme and it was a challenge to come up with 6 different mermaids.  Can't wait to see what everyone else came up with.

Anime Paper Child

These were created for a swap at the ATC's for All forum. They had to be 4"x6" and hand drawn. I used sharpie marker to add color.  We were challenged to photograph our children in some kind of environment, so I took mine outside and stuck them among my plants.

Cinderella Chunky Page

Storybook Character 4x6 Chunky Book Page

This was created for a swap with the Altered_stArt yahoo group. Everyone was asked to select a childrens story and create a 4x6 chunky page for everyone in the swap(we had to make 14 pages).  For my page I used patterned papers, vintage images, stickers, gems, beaded fringe, a coin envelope, a quote, artists tape,a dn a gel pen.

Christmas Tree on a Wrist

This is one of the kits I picked up at the jewelry convention from Queen Bee Beads Etc.  It caught my eye because it looked so "Christmas-y" and I adore all the fringing.  The most amazing part about this piece is that I actually finished a project I picked up from a convention (not just within the same year, but within less than 2 months of the convention date, now that is truly amazing).

Doll Body

This cast was taken from a doll body that the teacher had.  This time I used two different colors for each half.  On the back half I used gold pearlx, gold foil flecks, and gold micro beads, but very small amounts. I also imbedded pierced metal roses in the buttocks and the upper back.  I used green pearlx and gold micro beads on the front half. This piece will need a bit of filing to get a smooth joining.

Sweet Charlotte

This was cast from a broken procelain doll about 3 inches tall.  I added white pearlx powder, silver foil flecks, and silver micro beads.
