Be sure to stop over at the Pfatt MarketPlace on the 10th of this month(http://www.pfattmarketplace.com/) for my latest in Halloween musings.
Since The Twilight Saga is so in front right now (New Moon will be released 11-2o-09 http://www.newmoonmovie.com/), I created The Crowluns. They all have their family crest and really are a disparate bunch.
Here is one pic:
Meet Esme Crowlun - named Mother Esme Crowlun by her clan because of her sweet disposition and loving attitude. Notice her family crest is pinned to her hat!
Isn't this just the coolest rug!!!!
Hannah and Her Spooky Chicken is the other project:

It has been so long!
I covered the journal front and back with blue(Edward’s favorite color) handmade papers, trimmed in antique black lace. The front cover features an antique black & silver trim running thru the center of cover – representing the single cord that binds Edward and Bella. Added some fabulous black German Dresden trims and some of my favorite photos of the pair.
The back cover is simple and expressive. This is the time Edward and Bella were in Italy and represented by an Italian quote that means ‘my singer’ as explained by Edward that Bella’s blood sings for him. How romantic is that?

Dollies
I am still playing around with my dollies and I think I finally worked out a sweet one that I really like and have already sold!
here is her pic!
I named her Sarah. She is only about 8" tall and dressed in her night clothes. I made a stand for her from a 1" wooden block and a 3/16" wooden dowel. And I painted it black and then as I was sealing it, I added bits of lace. Looks really kewl.
So here is the technique:
make doll
Paint on 3 coats of Gesso, sanding in between coats.
Paint on 2 coats of a flesh color (your choice), sanding in between coats.
Add features and any other details you wish.
Spray with a Matte spray to seal.
Paint on 1 coat DecoArt Crackle in a medium consistancy. In other words not too light but not a really heavy coat.
Let dry 2-4 hrs. Then rub on a coat of Folk Art Antiquing Polish. The crackle will appear immediately.
This is what I was looking for - a one step crackle.
Easy technique......Try it!

Dolls
Another thing I want to talk about is a great paper and multi-media artist named Katie Esvold. She has been published lots of times and is now offering classes on-line! To see the class I will be taking go to http://www.joggles.com and then select classes. This is exciting and I can't wait! Taking this class will be very instructional and lots of new techniques! I warn you it is a doll and paper art. And...
I will post a pic of my dolly, good or bad. tehe
Well, that is all for now, am sure more things will pop to talk about.
Stay safe:
Jo
