Very excited! Stampington Magazine contacted me told me 3 of the Art dolls I sent in got in the show. This is their special addition of Art Dolls. Anyone that was a Art Figurative 3-D sculpture loved Art Doll Quarterly. This is one of the 3 Marie Antonetta holding her head sitting atop a Cake! Yes I know she never really said "Let them eat Cake". It is a mythical quote, and it serves me well as I use the papier-mâché box as a wonderful excuse to house some of my sewing supplies.

| Marie was originally created to use as one of 4 samples on how ruching could add texture and interesting elements to your art work in a class I was teaching. The dress, the leafy base and the cake box all had different types of this method of ruching applied to it. Hope you get a chance to check out the copy- you can pre-order it too! https://stampington.com/art-doll-quarterly/ |
Hidden Treasures is the class that I taught to my Guilded Liles Art Doll Group. The paper Mache boxes were decorated with acrylic paint, ruching techniques, laces and trims. This summer I wrote a pattern and step by step instruction along with illustration to well on Dollmakers Journey. The pattern includes preparing the boxes, making and colorizing the face, and different ways of ruching. There are so many things I use this on, fabric, ribbon and paper. The pattern is offered in hard copy or PDF format at https://dollmakersjourney.com/
I love your creativity, we can use our old leftover clothes again. Textile waste management
